When it comes to enjoyable types of music, It often has to do with the voice that is singing and the song that is being sung. In many cases, we tend to recognize the singer more than any other facet of the song. After all, they use their voice as an instrument and when they are skilled at doing so, it has the ability to make us feel almost every emotion imaginable. We all realize that singers may differ from each other in a number of different ways but sometimes, they can also come together to be more powerful than either of them could be individually.
Two iconic singers that you are likely familiar with are Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton. They each had very successful careers as individual singers but they also had voices that seem to work well with each other. Perhaps you’re familiar with some of the songs that they perform together, and the most classic of all of those was ‘Islands in the Stream’. It is an iconic song that has been played in numerous movies and more times on the radio than we could ever count. It’s just one of those songs that seem to say what most of us are feeling at some point in our lives.
I’m sure that all of us have likely heard Islands in the Stream many times in our lives, but we may not fully appreciate everything that went into making the song.
