Loretta Lynn's first duo partner was Ernest Tubb. ET could have chosen anyone as a duo partner, but he believed in Loretta and wanted to give her a break, as he did to countless artists. They had a few hits, but Loretta struck gold when she teamed up with Conway Twitty. I believe their first hit duet, from 1971, was their finest musical collaboration. It came to mind recently when hearing an awesome version by Marty Stuart and Connie Smith on the Ernest Tubb Midnight Jamboree on WSM radio.Here's Conway and Loretta's version of "After The Fire Is Gone."
