Duet perfection. Two of the true greats of country music. The song was written by the Bee Gees, just one of their amazing catalogue of songs written for other artists.

Thanks for reacting to this song. The story behind this was that the Bee Gees had written it for Kenny Rogers. When Kenny starts going over the song and singing it they all realize it is missing something. They needed Dolly Parton, but neither the Bee gees or Kenny Rogers knew how to contact her. Well someone in the Studio had seen Dolly Parton earlier that day and had got her phone number in case he needed to contact her. Well the Bee Gees tell Dolly they have a song and want her to sing with Kenny Rogers. . When Dolly Parton arrives and hears the song she loves it. She was excited for a chance to sing a bee gees song with Kenny Rogers. This helped .start a life long friendship between Kenny and Dolly. Please react to the Bee Gees singing Islands In The Stream. They sang the song in concerts as well.

This is a great duet sung by 2 country legends Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers. They're both terrific.I would love it if you would explore and react to some of Kenny Rogers song catalog. He is also one of my all-time favorites. First, you need to do a reaction to his song "Lady". It was written by the great Lionel Richie and given to Kenny. It is one of the most beautiful love songs that a man has ever sung to a woman. Other great Kenny Rogers songs include "Through The Years". The Gambler" ":She Believes In Me", "Coward Of The County" and "You Decorated My Life". With Kenny Rogers songs, you'll either get a terrific country story song or a beautiful romantic ballad. I think you'll really enjoy his music.

I love this song!! Originally written by the Bee Gees for Diana Ross with an R&B flavor, they gave it to Rogers instead when he asked them to write songs for a whole album for him, with Barry Gibb, Albhy Galuten, and Carl Richardson producing. The BeeGees were laying low from 1980-1985 because of the backlash against their songs, so they wrote for Streisand, Ross, Rogers, Dionne Warwick a few hit songs for each and albums for all. TAKE THAT, BACKLASH!! The song Islands won PLatinum-- #1 in charts almost everywhere.

Dolly and Kenny had an energy that was infectious, and this was such a successful song. How could you miss with a Gibb song? There is only one performance I like better, and that is the brothers themselves. Take a listen to this song in the medley from 1989's "One for All" concert. Barry and Mo do the verses brilliantly, and Robin comes in on the chorus. You can hear Mo's splendid ability to do high harmony with Barry's warm gorgeous lead. I totally melt when Barry sings "I Was Soft Inside." Thanks for this.

This song was originally written with another singer in mind as a single singer song. The Bee Gees played the demo for Kenny to see if he would like to use it for one of the songs on the album they were working on with him. But Kenny thought it would be better as a duet and wanted it to be Dolly, who said yes. So they rewrote it to fit their voices.

So many songs, bros. Gibb wrote for other great supastars. Even in their younger days in Australia, they did so. Their songwriting is to call enormous. Comes to my mind, 1967-1969, they recorded three albums and one double-album by themselves with big success and had so many singles in Top-Ten hitlists worldwide. Also they were touring over the planet. No time for others? No! There was a group, called 'The Marbles' (friends of them since their Aussie-period) and they needed songs in swinging London. Gibb bros. served them hits with tracks like 'Only One Woman' and 'The Walls Fell Down' and further songs for their albums. For your own pleasure, check'em out.

Check out Dolly's "I Will Always Love You" and Kenny's "Lucille". "Islands in the Stream" is a song written by the Bee Gees and recorded by American country music artists Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton. Named after an Ernest Hemingway novel, it was released in August 1983 as the first single from Rogers's album Eyes That See in the Dark.[2] The song was originally written for Diana Ross in an R&B style but later reworked for the duet by Rogers and Parton.[3] The Bee Gees released a live version of the song in 1998 and a studio version in 2001. Dolly & Kenny also have a great Christmas song "With Bells On". Give it a listen.
