Dionne Warwick recently had an interview on the Tamron Hall Show, where she explained that Dolly Parton pitched her a song to record. She stated, “And I said, ‘Okay, sounds like a deal.’ She’s such a sweetheart, And she sent me another song, the one we’re gonna be doing as a duet.” Adding, “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 gonna be very special, it is.”
Both Warwick and Parton are icons in their fields that have had multiple resurgences over the past few years. Warwick earned herself the title of “The Queen of Twitter” due to her exchanges with Chance the Rapper and Pete Davidson.
Warwick’s cousin Whitney Houston also performed Parton’s signature hit, “I Will Always Love You.” While speaking on their potential future in music together Warwick summed up her interview in saying, “It’s preordained. God’s got a purpose, People ask me, ‘What are you gonna do next?’ I don’t know. Whatever God has planned for me. I’m walking his path, and I’m loving every second of it.”
