      www.smoothradio.com/features/the-story-of/islands-in-the-stream-dolly-kenny-lyrics-meaning/
      With disco on the way out by the early 1980s, the Bee Gees found their style going out of fashion.
      Instead, they turned to writing for other genres and particularly other artists.
      Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb decided to write this song as an R&B tune for Marvin Gaye, but it later transformed into a country-pop crossover.
      "The story is the producer and the writer on the song was one of the Bee Gees, Barry Gibb," Kenny told People magazine.
      "And we had been singing this song in my studio in L.A. for four days. And I finally said, 'Barry, I don't even like this song anymore.'
      "And he said, 'We need Dolly Parton.'
      "I said, 'Well, why not, you know?'. And Ken Kragen, my manager said, 'I saw her downstairs.' I said, 'Well, go get her.'
      "And Dolly, in her inimitable fashion, marched into the room and the song was never the same."
      Amazing.

    The Bee Gees wrote this song. Dolly herself is a prolific songwriter. You probably know one of her songs she wrote... "I Will Always Love You" which she wrote and released in the 1970s and was later covered by Whitney Houston.

    You should listen to them singing "We Got Tonight" at a concert. They had best onstage chemistry. He originally sung that with Sheena Easton. Oh, and if you haven't reacted to Kenny Rogers "Lady," that would definitely make your wedding playlist. Lionel Ritchie wrote it for Kenny.

    It’s still hard to listen to Kenny Rogers without tearing up a little. He was such a special man and always had a special place in my heart, as he was the first artist I ever saw in concert when I was 5 years old. I was particularly lucky to see him again not long after touring with none other than Dolly Parton herself. Not only were their voices so beautifully compatible, but you could see the genuine friendship and affection between them. I loved whenever they would team up together, like the Christmas special they did in the 80s called A Christmas To Remember. The accompanying album, Once Upon A Christmas is a must play every year in my house for the holidays. Another artist he sounded great with was Dottie West. Every Time Two Fools Collide is a great example.

    "Real Love"

    3. Reba and Kenny - This is your girl, Reba, with Kenny, when they were on tour in Australia, together!!
    (You can stop it at 4: 10, when they step-up to the podium, because they present an award to someone no one's ever heard-of, in the states.)

If you listen to it check out the version he did alone and then he did a performance of it with Lionel Richie. Other songs by kenny are coward of the county, the last 10 years, the gambler, through the years, and buy me a rose. Just to name a few.
