Trio

Long-time friends and admirers of one another's work Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris first attempted to record an album together in the mid-1970s, but scheduling conflicts and other difficulties including the fact that the three women were all signed to different record labels prevented its release. Finally in 1987, the collaborative effort 'Trio' was completed. Produced by George Massenburg the album spawned four huge Country hit singles - including the remake of Phil Spector's 1958 hit by The Teddy Bears, 'To Know Him Is To Love Him'. The album hit number 1 on the US Country album chart - where it held for five consecutive weeks - and number 6 on the main Billboard album chart. It won Grammy Awards for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal and Best Country Collaboration with Vocals. It was also nominated for the Album of the Year Grammy alongside Michael Jackson, U2, Prince and Whitney Houston.
