Loretta Lynn and Conway Twitty were one of country music’s most beloved and successful duos. Throughout the 1970s, the two superstars teamed up for a series of collaborations that turned into chart-topping hits including “Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man,” “After the Fire is Gone” and “Feelins.'” The pair disbanded in the ’80s, yet their friendship continued on until Twitty’s death in 1993. Lynn followed nearly 30 years later when she passed in October 2022 at the age of 90.
