"Islands in the Stream" is a song written and later recorded by the Bee Gees. It was 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.[2]

Damn marjolein !! It's summertime and you are definitely bringing the heat. Amazing Dolly track! You and ricktherhino sound great together. Right now we have a great acoustic cover unless others want to join in. I am currently in the middle of the summer slide...barely picked up the guitar recently. But I'll be back. So happy that you didn't forget about this collab, even though I did. ha

Haha :P Thanks a lot Brian! :) Even though it is June, it's feeling like fall here, with lots of rain, so perfect opportunity to catch up on some collabs! Thank you for the compliments :)

@marjolein: It's been 80 degrees F (26 degrees C), sunny and low humidity here most weekends. Perfect weather. But next week it's going to be about 95 degrees F. A heat wave. I'm assuming you use Celcius where you are?

@brijamcam: @brijamcam: That sounds lovely, I can see that the guitar has less allure then haha :p And in the heatwave maybe also not.. Yeah, everywhere in Europe we use Celcius :) If it was 90 degrees here, we would die xp

So, I finally got to it! Turns out I only knew the male harmony haha.. But I channeled my inner Dolly and recorded the female vocals! @ricktherhino was fun to sing along with you, great track! And @brijamcam your track sounds very beautiful and crisp, awesome work, even if you don't remember ;)

oh oops, i see the 'come sail away with me' part is missing. I recorded that seperately because I didn't know what it was supposed to sound like haha. I'll sent you an updated version now with that part included :)

I don't know if the reservation for Carol was made a long time ago, but I could give Dolly's part a shot?

@marjolein: I have no recollection of this collab but it does sound nice. By all means Marj, please join us! I'm sure Carol won't mind. I'm sure she forgot about this one too.

@marjolein: lol. Great question. I'm just gonna chalk up my memory loss to either too many collabs or old age. You'll be there someday too, but you have a long way to go.

@brijamcam: haha you do have a looot of collabs! I do forgot previous collabs I've done now and then, but most of the time, listening to it does spark some recollection ;p But who knows in 20 years, lol
