Beautiful Cover of Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers’ ‘Islands in the Stream’

A group of musicians turned in a beautiful and absolutely fantastic cover of Dolly Parton and the late Kenny Rogers’ hit “Islands in the Stream.” No one will ever reach or top Kenny and Dolly’s classic duet performance, but this cover comes close. This is an awesome rendition that deserves several listens.

Dolly and Kenny are legendary entertainers. Both enjoyed careers that spanned decades, including dozens of beloved hit songs between them and numerous appearances on television and the big screen. Their evident and well-documented talent helped to catapult them to heights most people in the entertainment field can only imagine.

By themselves, Dolly and Kenny are responsible for a handful of iconic, memorable tunes. Who could ever forget “Jolene,” “The Gambler,” “9 to 5” and “Coat of Many Colors?” However, some may argue that their best performances came when the two superstars joined forces, which they did several times. But none of their duets is more prominent than “Islands in the Stream.”

In a clip posted on YouTube, the Middle Aged Dad Jam Band performed the iconic Dolly and Kenny tune, “Islands in the Stream.” Actress Kristen Bell, likely best known for voicing Anna in the “Frozen” films, joins the group for the rendition. Kristen and fellow actor Ken Marino provide the sweet-sounding vocals.

“Islands in the stream

That is what we are

No one in between

How can we be wrong?”

Again, this is not Dolly and Kenny singing, but this rendition is good. Dolly and Kenny would likely give their wholehearted approval. Even those who are diehard Dolly or Kenny fans will have to agree that this is likely one of the better covers you will ever come across of this song. The amount of talent in this clip is off the charts; both Kristen and Ken sound outstanding.

Colossians 3:16 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”
