Barry was a very good singer and his brothers there will never be none like him and his brothers he stood by his brothers that's why that he made it so long God extended his life excellent family person and husband and Dad
Indeed! Reminds me of many of the songs he sang lead on, on 1974's "MR. NATURAL" & on 1975's "MAIN COURSE". No one can do falsetto like Barry, however his natural, good ol' fashion Tenor Vocal was just as good and to me, even more smooth & balladeering. BolsaChicaRadio
When I often heard this song on the radio back in 1983 (of course, the Kenny & Dolly version), I did not think too much about it. I was more into rock, pop and synth/techno dance. But then two years ago, I was at a street fair in San Francisco and they had a dance floor laid down on the street. I was about half-a-block away and I could hear this song. I made my way through the crowd towards the music. When I heard the song blaring through large speakers with maybe 24 people country line dancing to it, my mind was changed forever. I am a professional singer/pianist and I have added Islands in the Stream to my repertoire.
Islands in the stream is one of my favorite songs of all time but I only just found out today after watching The Bee Gees documentary on HBO that Barry gibb wrote the song. Cool. That being said I can’t imagine the song without Kenny and Dolly doing the vocals. Even when watching The Bee Gees perform it it sounds like a cover of K&D
Remember the very first time I heard this song in car on way to work in Nashville. Announced as new record by Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton. Immediately sound was turned up...have loved it since that morning.
Barry has such a mesmerizing voice!! Andy did sound a lot like him but Barry was and is the ONLY Barry Gibb!! ( says that and it's hard as I did and will always love A.G)
Barry's wife Linda was a very excellent wife and they both hit it off well because they laughed about everything that's the best way to do it because if you cry about everything it's not good
As we learned in the Bee Gees documentary, they couldn’t get on the air at this time due to the disco backlash. So, they transitioned to writing for others. But I agree, Barry singing this is awesome.
★ Best Wishes to Sir Barry Gibb on Your Happy Birthday ! and Happy Barry & Linda's The 51th Wedding Anniversary !! Wish You and Your Family Have A Great, The Most Peerless and Splendid, Inimitable, and Be Full of Love and Beautiful with Blessed Special Happy Day !! 🎂🙂🎂🙂🎂🙂🎂🙂🎂🙂🎂🙂
I enjoy the version of Dolly and Kenny of this beautiful song..but listening to your demo is so different...so beautiful.Thank you for writing this song..one of my fav. song
Sharon, I actually think this is just Barry singing. They then dubbed his voice singing the chorus twice to make the 3 part harmonies. If you listen closely, you don’t hear Robin’s distinctive voice during the chorus. Forgive me, I’m a bee gees nerd.
Tbh, I believe I was trying to say something else... Lol I totally agree with you and I loved the Bee Gees myself. I heard every song on our family vacations... Lol
CZcams yo 😴 sueño co onoser al señor barrí gibb desde niña me encanta su música 🎶 y nadie meló dijo desde mí niñez lo admiro seguiré soñando tal vez algún día se me ase realidad 😴🤗
I Think its classed as a guide Vocal, for the composer to show/ guide the artist how he wants them to sing the composition. Barry is so good at demonstrating, see also The Guilty Guide Vocals that Barry did for Barbra Streisand...Excellent !
Awesome and beautiful song. I've loved it since I first heard Kenny and Dollly sing it in 1983. Didn't know then it was Barry Gibb's creation. I love Barry's demo even more than Kenny and Dolly's.
an island stranded.. seen but not touched. the love showing up trying to b e the one going to find away … the one.... tha t is real... rides the waves we will fight .. finding us ..
this Demo is soo much better than the BEE Gee"s Re-Recordings ...???? I still can hear Robin Gibbs Voice at the Chorus...???? If Im Wrong ( peinlich ???? ) than Barry does an Amazing overlaid Harmony Version of himself.....
Barry was a very good singer and his brothers there will never be none like him and his brothers he stood by his brothers that's why that he made it so long God extended his life excellent family person and husband and Dad
The Bee Gees were just wonderful
Cool to hear Barry sing with his regular voice, without the falsetto. Ultra talented guy
Indeed! Reminds me of many of the songs he sang lead on, on 1974's "MR. NATURAL" & on 1975's "MAIN COURSE". No one can do falsetto like Barry, however his natural, good ol' fashion Tenor Vocal was just as good and to me, even more smooth & balladeering.

Barry Gibb is Love ❤️
What a songwriter. What a singer. What a song. What a recording - simple and pure.
Recently Washington Post published that Bee Gees being the best songwriters in the last century.
@@robmill292 - I'd have to disagree with the Post on that one. Barry Gibb is good, but the best?
Barry is a genius

Totally agree!
The Gibbs are the greatest songwriters of all time.
Yes, besides writing songs for themselves, they wrote so many hits for other musicians
Amazing, , but still not as good as the Beatles..
geniuses, once in a generation talent
@@andrewwian4921 They are better.
Thats a fact
beautiful, lovely and brings so much joy! Thank you Barry!!!! 😊💓💓
Wow! Barry is simply amazing!
AWESOME SONG ❤❤❤❤

I love Barry’s version of this song.
....Original version of this great hit is from Bee Gees , the best pop & disco group in the World !...
Barry has always had so much range to his voice....this is truly beautiful along with his songwriting x
Just pure talent
Love this...their demos were sometimes better than actual releases by other artists.
Barry's wife Linda was a very excellent wife and they both hit it off well because they laughed about everything that's the best way to do it because if you cry about everything it's not good
Barry the best👍🇧🇷
Barrys voice is so hot. He should have sung this song.
As we learned in the Bee Gees documentary, they couldn’t get on the air at this time due to the disco backlash. So, they transitioned to writing for others. But I agree, Barry singing this is awesome.
@@michaelkelley1168 This is my new favourite after watching the documentary.
Most definitely! Would have also been a number 1 if The Bee Gees released it.
Beautifully sang...love this song

I love this song
Me too.
Eu amo muito Bee Gees e já estou idosa mas o amor é maior ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
So far this is my favorite version I've been able to find on CZcams. I have multiple CDs I could find the best version on but I'm too lazy lol.
perfect
Demo? this is better than a lot of A sides, brilliant song!
You just can’t top those harmonies....
love this song
wow ......you are the best.....
Maravilhoso BarryGibb você vive naturalmente atualmente escutando música lindíssima vídeo obrigada Porto Alegre RS Brasil
Beautiful 💖
Contrary to what some believe this is all Barry. Just his own voice overlaid for the harmonies.
Thank you. I was trying to explain this in response to another post, but you said it much better than I did.
I could swear I hear Robyn first chorus...so alike
Ayayay q me encanta esta cancion como las demas 😘😘
I love his version
I Love Alll versions!!!
Buenas noches familia gibb desde el salvador 💛❤🤍
Never the demo to this song, which is one of my favorites, The Bee Gees sound GREAT

Wonderful! Thank you!!
Hi Alice where are you from?
SIR Barry of the beegees was born i England but moved with the family to australia,then returned to England later they also was in the U S A.
My favourite version.
It’s the second best version to the live version from the one night only in Las Vegas.
Bellísima esta canción 👍👍👍👍
It was originally written for Marvin Gaye in an R&B style, only later to be changed for the Kenny Rogers album.
Is there a Marvin Gaye version? 🤔
@@remcovanengeland9494 I think he never did it.
Que vos tan sentimental wuao cómo me encanta esta canción 🎶 😘
Perfect !
Feliz noche de miércoles y de luna llena saludos desde el salvador
Precioso tema!!
My favorite version
Goosebumps thinking of my wife of 15 years. Lyrics say it perfectly and those harmonies.... I love you babe x
Very polished for just being a 'demo'!
I Think its classed as a guide Vocal, for the composer to show/ guide the artist how he wants them to sing the composition. Barry is so good at demonstrating, see also The Guilty Guide Vocals that Barry did for Barbra Streisand...Excellent !
💥💥💥👍👍👍💃💃
Buenas noches de 😴😴❤
Beautiful demo! I also hear Robin and Maurice on this.
schöner Song von Barry gefällt mir sehr
Minha época o melhor de todos ! Barry voz corpo rosto alma , lindo amo tu meu eterno amore, muitos anos de vida pra tu beijossss

Smooth & relaxing

esta voz me reanima y.....me enamora al escucharla
Buenas noches 😊😴😴
Cool song

It’s Barry’s voice overlaid, not Robin.
