Dolly Parton and Dionne Warwick praise their long-lasting relationship!
For longer than anyone can remember, Warwick and Parton have teased the world with a near-perfect friendship, even though it took them more than a decade to meet physically. Now, the power couple have opened up about realizing they’ve never met. The update comes shortly after they confirmed that they are working on the gospel song, “Peace Like a River.”
Dolly Parton & Dionne Warwick Delighted to Share Their First Hug After Years of Friendship
Warwick and Parton have talked on the phone and FaceTime for decades, but it wasn’t until they had to shoot the music video for their upcoming song that the couple shared a real-life hug. The musical duo met in Nashville, Tennessee, to shoot a video produced and co-directed by Warwick’s son, Damon Elliott.

During an exclusive conversation with ET, the “Jolene” singer recounted the excitement she felt in the car as she headed to her decades-old friend. He admits to being a fan of Warwick’s music since he was young. In the words of the “Coat of Many Colors” hitmaker:
“I was so excited this morning because while I was riding with you, someone asked how long you’ve known Dionne. I said, ‘I don’t know him, except through his music, and I love his music.”
He went on to say, “He is [Warwick] always one of my favorites. I have all his records, but I don’t think I’ve ever met him. I would remember if I met him, but this morning, it was like two young kids like, ‘Hey! Hey! Hey!'”
Parton added that she knew she wouldn’t be “disappointed” when she met Warwick because even though they had communicated via FaceTime and calls, “I knew that I was going to love him because I just felt that voice.”
The “I Will Always Love You” singer explained that her friend’s voice was “kind of inside of me,” giving her the “vibe” that people get when they hear other people sing. “So I knew I would love him. And it’s not like I’m meeting strangers. We just walked towards each other like we’ve always known each other,” he concluded.
Parton’s candid look at their time together prompted the “Walk On By” singer to chime in, “Dear old friends.” It’s worth noting that Parton’s plan to work on this gospel duet took years to form, as she admits to first writing the song “in the late ’80s.”
And it turns out, “it’s a song that stands the test of time” and is “very dear” in Warwick’s heart. The song’s music video is expected to premiere this Friday, with more than enough church vibes for their combined fan base.

The Blast observed last month that Warwick had opened up about his gospel project and Parton. The 82-year-old took to Twitter to post a clip showing him in a stylish pair of dark glasses, a matching black graphic t-shirt, a matching beanie hat and a cross necklace.
The mother of two began the video by informing viewers that she was “a little tired but it’s okay” because she had just returned from Los Angeles, where she went to perform for “Peace Like A River.”
“We are very excited that I will have a release date soon. So, open your eyes and ears. Dolly and I are really excited about it,” the “That’s What Friends Are For” hitmaker updated.
As expected, the announcement allowed fans to show their support for the duo. “Miss Dionne and Dolly Parton duet?? Hooray!! That’s something I must hear! Talk about a dream team!” shouted one fan happily.
A second fan gushed, “OMG!!! 2 of my favorite people together in a duet is everything I need for 2023!” while a third simply posted a meme of Tyler Perry’s character “Madea” saying, “H*ll to the yeah.”
A fourth person declared that Warwick was “adorable,” adding, “Consider yourself a hug. You two really are.” A fifth Twitter user described the “Let There Be Light” star as a “warm light”, feeling “excited” about and anticipating the duet.
