Happy Friday!! I hope you are having a good season. I’m celebrating @JoyDorsey and her cruises with a countdown of songs that have “island” in the title. To absolutely NOBODY’S surprise, here’s today’s song. #3: Islands in the Stream - Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers While Greg runs off to collect his winnings from Vegas for picking this song I’ll indulge the rest of you. If you remember back to The Bee Gees countdown, I used their version of this song….because they wrote it. However, for your dining and dancing pleasure (and for the guys) I’m presenting the BIG HIT VERSION (emphasis on “big” ) this time around. So enjoy this great song to kick off your weekend! Islands in the Stream Written by Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb Recorded by Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers From Eyes That See in the Dark (Rogers album), 1983 You do something to me that I can’t explain:

This one made me rich....And then I lost everything in the slots. I need a new Count Down. Well, there's two left in this one and I expect to make a fortune on them but it won't be enough.

These two do this song so well. I didn't know the BeeGees wrote it. I'm a musical dinosaur.

You’ll have to wait to the #1 song to argue.
