Her career received a huge boost when rock legend Roy Orbison chose her to record a duet of his standard, "Crying". Instead of being overwhelmed by the power of Orbison's three-octave voice, the two blended their tremendous vocal ranges into a riveting collaboration that won them the Grammy Award for Best Country Collaboration with Vocals.

No. They briefly worked together, as zbeck's site points out, but they were not related. She is, by the way, a Canadian (Alberta) girl; he was a Texas boy.
