Dionne Warwick – Says She And Dolly Parton Are Like “Two Peas in a Pod”

Dionne Warwick, 82, and Dolly Parton, 77, singing a beautiful gospel song together is like one of those things that only happen once in as so many years. Recently, the two legends combined their voices for a rendition of “Peace Like A River”, the first single off Warwick’s upcoming inspirational album.

While filming the gospel music’s yet-to-be released music video, Warwick talked about collaborating with Dolly Parton and how they’re more alike than she could have guessed.

“We were there to take care of our business, but along with that, we found time to not only smile but outright laugh,” Warwick told Billboard. “Dolly is very, very grounded — which I was thrilled about — but she’s also very business, which I happen to be about as well. So, it felt like two peas in a pod. It wasn’t like we were working at all. It was more like two friends meeting for lunch.”

Collaborating on the track did not only mark the first time that the two musicians worked together, but the first time they met each other. Sadly, they hadn’t crossed paths until then, but once they did, Warwick recalled that there was “more laughter than anything else.”
