    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.

    When Dolly said sorry to Kenny in the middle of the song, was because Dolly stepped on Kenny’s toes. I love that part, he kept singing and she continued on too.

    Dolly Parton was/is a prolific song writer herself. She was one of the singers Barry collaborated with on his “Greenfields” album. They sing “words” beautifully. Great reaction, ladies. Thank you!

    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.

    from the KENNY ROGERS album EYES THAT SEE IN THE DARK produce by BARRY GIBB, all the songs in that album written by the BEE GEES, other great songs with BEE GEES background vocals are songs such as YOU AND I and I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU, the gibb brothers wrote a lot of songs for other artist one of my favorite is by DIANNA ROSS called I LOVE BEING IN LOVE WITH YOU

    • @gaylaliles4095
      @gaylaliles4095 2 года назад +2

      Eyes That See In The Dark is an awesome album that Barry Gibb produced for Kenny Roger's. All of the songs on it are so so good. Even Barry's demos for the songs were perfection.

  • @AI_Surfer

    'Desire' and 'Everlasting Love' are two great songs penned by the Bee Gees, and performed by the younger brother Andy Gibb (R.I.P.). Definitely worth checking out.

    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.

  • @AlamoDame7
    @AlamoDame7 2 года назад +5

    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.

  • @vandoraginther6421
    @vandoraginther6421 2 года назад +5

    This song started out to be for another artist until Kenny contacted Barry about writing for him. Actually they wrote an entire album for him. The Bee Gees often sang this song when they did their melodies on stage. Our guys wrote many hits for other artists. Love your reaction!

    @trishafaulk2067 Год назад

    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.

  • @bluebear1985

    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.

    Haha I love both of them. Dolly was my first crush as a child. Man that takes me back, my grandma was a huge country fan. Pretty sure Grandpa would have been SoL if Elvis had ever so much as smiled at her lol. As a kid I saw her and just knew that wow... women are not icky and cooties are worth the risk cause my god. Now that she is approaching 80 I knew I was right because she is still beautiful! Ask people who work for her she is very kind to everyone.

    I have a suggestion but be warned, it's a rabbit hole of epic proportion. Also if you do this please get headphones, you really need them for the full experience. Home Free. An acapella group that will blow your mind. Everyone seems to start with Man of Constant Sorrow so that's the one I recommend to get you hooked (personally I like Hillbilly Bone to start but your choice). There are SO MANY more. Please give them a listen, you won't regret it. Looking forward to more reactions from you ☺

    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.
