Loretta died Oct. 4 at age 90. 

While the duet was definitely unexpected, Dwayne and Kelly sounded really good together:

During a virtual appearance on the show in 2021, Dwayne recounted his onetime country music ambitions when he lived in Nashville as a teenager.

"I grew up loving blues; hip-hop, of course; but then country, but real traditional country — like, that 'three chords and the truth,' steel guitar kind of country," Dwayne said.

He continued, "When I got to Nashville ... I went down there on [Broadway], and I used to hang out down there and listen to all the acts, and I did have it in my mind that I was gonna become a country music singer."

While his country music career didn't pan out, Kelly did invite Dwayne to join her for a duet next time he was on the show — and that worked out a lot better!

So, in conclusion, is there anything Dwayne can't do??
