Trio was a 1987 album featuring country and rock superstars Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt. Longtime friends and admirers of one another, Parton, Ronstadt and Harris first attempted to record an album together in the mid 1970s, but scheduling conflicts and other difficulties (including the fact that each of the three women recorded for different record labels) prevented its release. (Some of the fruits of these aborted '70s recording sessions did make it to the women's respective solo recordings.) When Trio was finally released in early 1987, it spawned four hit country singles -- including the country #1 remake of Phil Spector's "To Know Him is to Love Him" -- and earned a Grammy. The three women later released a second album together, Trio 2, in 1999. Ronstadt and Harris also released a duet album in 2000, Western Wall: The Tucson Sessions.
