Eyes That See in the Dark is an album by Kenny Rogers first released by RCA Records in 1983. This was Barry Gibb's third production project of the 1980s outside of The Bee Gees. Gibb wrote most of the songs that were more reminiscent of Kenny Rogers's days with the First Edition. At first, "Islands in the Stream" was not a duet and Rogers was not happy with the recording and only after Dolly Parton was brought in and recorded the song as a duet did the song take off. It became a #1 hit on both the Billboard pop and country charts. Elsewhere on the album is "Buried Treasure", a single which was a top 3 country hit, the track "This Woman", which reached the top 20 on both the Billboard pop and country charts, while the title cut "Eyes That See in the Dark" also charted on the pop chart.

Notes
The version of "I Will Always Love You" featured on this album was written by Barry and Maurice Gibb, and is hence not the same as the more famous song of the same name, which was written by Dolly Parton. However, Kenny Rogers had also recorded a version of the Dolly Parton song for his 1996 album Vote For Love. The song "Buried Treasure" is not to be confused with Rogers's 1978 song "Buried Treasures", which appears on his album Love or Something Like It.
