Who wrote the hit song “Islands in the Stream”?
Kenny Rogers
Barry Manilow
Dolly Parton
The Bee Gees
Fact: Although “Islands in the Stream” became an iconic duet for country legends Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton, the song was actually written by Barry, Maurice, and Robin Gibb — collectively known as the Bee Gees. Kenny Rogers originally recorded the song solo, but ended up disliking the tune after four days of singing it. Barry Gibb introduced the idea of adding Dolly Parton — who happened to be downstairs at the studio — and making it a duet. Parton was brought into the room and completely transformed the song into the smash hit it remains today.
Correct Answer: The Bee Gees
