They filmed the music video at Pulau Kalampunian Besar in Kuala Penyu, Sabah.

Marsha said: "I am a big fan of The Moffats, and it is great that they are back as Music Travel Love.

"Shooting the music video with them in my home state was truly enjoyable."

Music Travel Love posted a snippet of the video on its Instagram account with the message, "You make Dolly Parton proud Marsha."

The music video on YouTube has received over 1.8 million views.

Islands In The Stream was first recorded by Rogers and Parton in 1983.

Written by the Bee Gees, the country song reached Number One in Billboard Hot 100.

Other singers who have covered the song include Barry Manilow and Reba McEntire, Ronan Keating and The McClymonts, Jennifer Love Hewitt and the Bee Gees.
