Dolly Parton and Dionne Warwick are bringing out a duet
It's called 'Peace Like A River'
Although Dolly Parton is busy working on her upcoming rock and roll album 'Rock Star', following her induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last year, it looks like she has another very different project in the works.
Country legend Dolly has teamed up with iconic singer Dionne Warwick to release a gospel duet called 'Peace Like A River'. While on The Tamron Hall Show, Dionne shared details about the track which she was "very excited about".
She explained how the collaboration came about, saying that Dolly: "Sent me a song that she wanted me to record, and I said, ‘Okay, that sounds like a deal'.
"She’s such a sweetheart, I know her. And she sent me another song, the one that we’re going to be doing as a duet. It’s a gospel song called ‘Peace Like A River’. She wrote it, and I am very excited about this. I really am. I’ve done so many duets over the years, but this one’s going to be very special."
While Dolly and Dionne have never worked together, there is a connection between the two artists as Dolly wrote 'I Will Always Love You' which was famously covered by Whitney Houston, who was Dionne's cousin. The 'Don't Make Me Over' singer commented on this, saying: "It's pre-ordained. God's got a purpose."
When is the collaboration coming out?
No release date has been shared yet for 'Peace Like A River'.
