Two years later, Twitty and Lynn showcased their chemistry once again on another country’s bestseller, “Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man.” Since then, the duo had a run of several more country hits and four No. 1 country albums out of the eleven studio albums they released. 

Indeed, the title of their seventh collaborative studio album marked their status in the world of country music: Dynamic Duo. Together, they were named as Vocal Duo of the Year by the CMA Awards from 1972 to 1975. Their tandem also helped Lynn win CMA’s Entertainer of the Year Award in 1972, making her the first woman to receive such an award.

Most of Twitty and Lynn’s songs together were about a relationship’s terrible ending or about falling for someone you shouldn’t. And whenever they perform, their chemistry and strong artistic connection on stage are undeniable. So, it was no surprise when the rumor mill buzzed, and many fans started wondering if they share a real-life romance.

Even after all these years, many are still talking what’s the real score between the two country icons. Were they more than just duet partners? Some even believed they got married at one point in their lives. But Lynn dismissed the rumors, saying that it’s far from reality. “I loved Conway, as a friend, and my husband loved him. Conway was really the only one in the music business that Doo gave a dag-gone for,” she said.
