“#ClassicDuet – Dolly & Kenny | Islands in the Stream (1983 Hit)”
Travel back to August 15, 1983, when country-pop legends Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers teamed up on the first-ever recording of “Islands in the Stream,” a Bee Gees-penned single that dominated Billboard’s Hot 100, Country, and Adult Contemporary charts—and was later named CMT’s #1 country duet of all time l.
Originally intended as a solo track, it wasn’t until Dolly wandered into the studio that Kenny, after days of frustration, finally said: “This song was never the same. She lit it up.”
Their chemistry on that legendary chorus—“Islands in the stream…”—remains unmatched nearly four decades later. ????
