- "Does He Love You?", a song by Reba McEntire from her 1993 album Greatest Hits Volume Two
The Reba McEntire/Linda Davis version of this song was one of the most-awarded songs of McEntire's career despite initial resistance from the record label. MCA Records didn't think a two-woman duet would go over well at radio or with the fans. They also didn't like the idea of an unknown background vocalist singing the powerhouse tune with Reba. The label suggested McEntire approach label-mates Trisha Yearwood or Wynonna Judd as possible duet partners. When both turned down Reba's request, Linda Davis was then chosen to record the song. McEntire's instinct paid off as the song soared to the #1 position on the country charts in the Summer of 1993. It went on to win a Grammy award for Best Country Vocal Collaboration as well as a CMA Award for Vocal Event of the Year and a TNN/Music City News award for Best Vocal Collaboration.
In 2001, after winning the very first American Idol title, Kelly Clarkson sang the song with Reba on a FOX Network special. The video of that performance has been widely circulated on the web via youtube as well as numerous fan sites.
In 2003, the song placed #9 on a list of the 100 greatest Country Duets and was performed on a special concert for the show by Carrie Underwoodand Australian-born songbird Jamie O'Neal.
