It has been double certified Platinum and gold certified singles by the Recording Industry Association of America for two million and half a million digital sales in US. It also topped the Country and Adult Contemporary charts. The song reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States, giving both Rogers and Parton their second pop number-one hit (after Rogers's " Lady" in 1980 and Parton's " 9 to 5" in 1981). The Bee Gees released a live version of the song in 1998 and a studio version in 2001. The song was originally written for Marvin Gaye or Diana Ross in an R&B style but later reworked for the duet by Rogers and Parton. Named after an Ernest Hemingway novel, it was released in August 1983 as the first single from Rogers's album Eyes That See in the Dark. " Islands in the Stream" is a song written by the Bee Gees and recorded by American country music artists Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton. For other uses, see Islands in the Stream.
