on Dec 04, 2017 • Updated Aug 14, 2019
“Islands In The Stream” has been regarded as one of country music’s best duets since its release in 1983 by Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton. Written by the Bee Gees, the song, which is named after the Ernest Hemingway novel, was actually written for recording artist Marvin Gaye.
Instead, Rogers released it on his album Eyes That See In The Dark and it quickly reached No. 1 on Billboard‘s Hot 100, Country, and Adult Contemporary charts.
