Reba and dolly does he love you

When Reba McEntire enlisted Dolly Parton to join her for a duet on "Does He Love You," off McEntire's Revived Remixed Revisited album, the collaboration was a long time coming for both stars.

They'd long been friends, and throughout their towering parallel careers in country music, they often supported each other, performed on the same bills at the same events and tributed each other at special ceremonies. They even co-hosted the 2019 CMA Awards, alongside another superstar from a younger generation, Carrie Underwood. But it wasn't until the two legends teamed up for "Does He Love You" — originally a duet between McEntire and Linda Davis, which came out in 1993 — that they finally brought their voices together on the same track.

When word got out that Revived Remixed Revisited included a guest spot from Parton, many country fans couldn't believe that the pair hadn't ever collaborated before, and they weren't the only ones.

"It's a dream come true for me to have finally had the chance to record something with her," McEntire shares with Billboard. "And then to see the reaction to it, and the video has just been icing on the cake. I can't believe it's taken us this long to finally get together, but I sure am glad we did."

Both women are towering figures in country music, and both have contributed staple songs to the genre. "Jolene and Fancy would be proud!" McEntire continues, in a nod to two of the most iconic selections from each of their catalogs.

Revived Remixed Revisited is an extensive, three-disc collection that finds the singer putting new spins on some of the best-loved songs of her storied career. The project came out in October.

It's a match made in country music heaven.

Roughly two months after Dolly Parton spilled the beans that she and fellow icon Reba McEntire had recorded their first duet together, the fruits of their long-awaited union have finally been revealed.

On Friday, Dolly and Reba dropped the music video for a new version of "Does He Love You," Reba's Grammy-winning ballad featuring Linda Davis from 1993.

In the video (below), the legendary performers belt out the mournful tune while having a drink together.

But the best part comes at the end of the video when Dolly turns to Reba and says, "I love this song. I love singing this with you."

"You can just have that old boy, I don't want him," Reba jokes.

"I don't want him either," Dolly replies. "Let's find us a new man,"

"I like the way you think," Reba answers with a smile.

Dolly shared a preview of the music video on Twitter Friday.

"Stepped into the shoes of Jolene when @Reba asked me to sing the mistress' verses in 'Does He Love You'!" she wrote alongside the clip.

The track is included on the REVIVED collection from Reba's forthcoming album REVIVED REMIXED REVISITED, a collection of stripped-down re-recordings of some of her hits, including her first hit single, "I Can't Even Get The Blues."

"It turned out really good," Dolly said in an August appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. "I've always wanted to sing with her. I don't know why we never did it until now, but we really sounded good together. I think the fans are gonna like it."
