Biography:
The Bee Gees, originally made up of three brothers: Barry Gibb, Robin Gibb (died 2012), and Maurice Gibb (died 2003), have been successful for most of their 40-plus years of recording music. They had two distinct periods of exceptional success: as a pop act in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and as a foremost act of the disco music era in the late 1970s.
The Gibb brothers were born on the Isle of Man, UK to English parents in 1946 (Barry Alan Crompton Gibb

Islands In The Stream
Bee Gees
Based on the studio version from "Their Greatest Hits: The Record"
NOTE: Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton's 1983 hit was written by the
Brothers Gibb. The Bee Gees released a live version on their 1998 CD
"One Night Only" which kept the country-pop feel of the original
duet. In 2001, the Bee Gees recorded a studio version for their
compilation CD "Their Greatest Hits: The Record." The 2001 version
has an R&B flavor, and includes lyrics they wrote for the chorus of
Pras' 1998 "Ghetto Supastar," a reworking of the original Rogers/
Parton recording. That's the version I charted.
Robin Gibb's vocal on the 2001 version has a lot of reverb on it,
making some vocals indistinct or indecipherable. However, it sounds
to me like he often replaces the 1980s "ah ha"s with "hearts." Listen
closely and you can hear a sibilant "s" which changes "another, ah
ha" to "another's heart." The addition of the Pras chorus, and the
deletion of the "making love" lyrics lend support to the idea that in
this version most of the "ah ha"s have been replaced.
The 2001 version is in the Key of C. Barry Gibb sings it in B in the
live version. I prefer playing it in A with a capo.
