“Islands in the stream, that is what we are…”
Written by the Bee Gees, Islands in the Stream brought together two country icons for one of the most beloved duets of all time.
Released in 1983, the song topped charts around the world, including right here in New Zealand, where it reached number 2.
Originally written as an R&B track for Marvin Gaye, the Bee Gees reworked it for Kenny and Dolly, and the message is clear... it's the real thing!
