There might not have been a dry eye in the house Monday when Emmy Russel finished singing on “American Idol.” The 24-year-old stepped out on that stage and sang, “Coal Miner’s Daughter,” the hit made famous by her late country music legend grandmother, Loretta Lynn.

Jay Lee Webb (birth name Willie Lee Webb) was Loretta Lynn's brother, making him Emmy Russell's great-uncle. He was also a country singer, most notable for his song "I Come Home A-Drinkin' (To a Worn-Out Wife Like You)," which was an answer song to Lynn's 1967 hit "Don't Come A-Drinkin' (With Lovin' on Your Mind)." He died in 1996.
