When a celebrity as beloved as Olivia Newton-John passes away, it's not just a loss to their family but to their entire fanbase. But the beloved singer and Grease actress left one final mark on this world and a gift for people like Ree Drummond, who grew up listening to the icon. Last Friday, the Olivia Newton-John estate released a posthumous album that's pretty much *guaranteed* to bring you to tears.

The album, "Just the Two of Us—the Duets Collection Volume One," features previously unreleased recordings of the late singer. It's a star-studded collection and a must-listen for fans.

Of course, one of the most exciting songs included on the 17-track album is her final recording, a duet with Dolly Parton on the hit "Jolene." Olivia and the Queen of Country had been friends for years when the singer passed away in August 2022.

After the album dropped, Dolly shared a heartfelt press release about working together. "My first memory of Olivia was when her song 'Let Me Be There' was a hit. I have loved her ever since," she said. "We had many occasions that we got to share together, either backstage or performing on the same shows, and I loved every moment that I ever got to spend with her. I've always been inspired by her grit, tenderness, willingness, and determination."

"My last memory of Olivia was when I sang with her on my song 'Jolene.' I cannot wait to hear that album, and Olivia, may you rest in peace," Dolly added. "You left a spot that no one else will ever fill."

But Dolly isn't the only collaboration heard on the album! The gorgeous duets feature singers like Mariah Carey on "Hopelessly Devoted to You," friend John Travolta on "Take a Chance," and her daughter Chloe Lattanzi on "Window in the Wall."

It seems that the legendary singer had an impact on all those involved in the production. As Carey said in her own press release: "This is a moment I will never ever forget."
