"Islands in the Stream" is a song written by the Bee Gees and sung by American country music artists Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton. It was released in August 1983 as the first single from Rogers's album Eyes That See in the Dark. Named after the Ernest Hemingway novel, it was originally written for Marvin Gaye in an R&B style, only later to be changed for the Kenny Rogers album.
Sadly Kenny died a few days ago on 20th March 2020 and I was requested by Phil Manning to record this song as a tribute to Kenny’s great musical career. RIP Kenny.
Played on my Alan Brason Custom Stratocaster fitted with Kinman FV-HMS pickups on mid position through an Alesis Quadraverb Q2 with EFTP patch 0-36.
