Two Living Legends Are Finally Joining Voices

Queen Dionne Warwick has a Dolly Parton collaboration on the way — and yes, that pairing is every bit as legendary as it sounds.
Speaking during MusiCares Persons of the Year weekend in February 2023, Warwick discussed the forthcoming song, “Peace Like a River,” a gospel-influenced duet with Parton and the pair’s first recorded collaboration.

Parton wrote the song, while Warwick’s son and longtime collaborator Damon Elliott produced the recording. The single and accompanying music video are set for release on February 24, 2023.
For two artists whose catalogs have spent decades living in entirely different corners of American music history, this one feels less like a random duet and more like a “how did this not happen sooner?” moment.
Parton described Warwick as one of her idols, while Warwick said she admired Parton’s talent and work ethic. That mutual respect now has a title, a release date and, thankfully, a recording attached to it.
