did sissy spacek sing in coal miner's daughter
A film on Lynn's life was intended to be made since the release of the autobiography. Production for the film began in late 1979 and Lynn herself chose Spacek to portray her on screen after seeing a photograph of her, despite being unfamiliar with her films. The film's soundtrack featured all Lynn's hit singles which were all sung by Spacek, as well as Patsy Cline's ``Sweet Dreams'' sung by D'Angelo. The soundtrack reached the top 40 in the U.S. on the Billboard 200 and sold over 500,000 copies, thus being certified gold by the RIAA. Coal Miner's Daughter was released theatrically on March 7, 1980. Upon its release, the film was a critical and commercial success with major acclaim drawn towards Spacek's performance. The film grossed $67 million worldwide against a budget of $15 million, becoming the 7th highest-grossing film of 1980.
