1984 Kenny Rogers – What About Me?

What About Me? is the sixteenth studio album by Kenny Rogers, released by RCA Nashville.

The album’s title track, “What About Me?”, is sung in trio with R&B singer James Ingram and Rogers’ former New Christy Minstrels bandmate turned solo star Kim Carnes, which is a love song that reached number one on the AC charts and was also a pop and country hit, giving co-writer Richard Marx his first number one hit as a writer. Elsewhere on the album is “Two Hearts, One Love” by Byron Hill, and Mike Dekle, “The Stranger” (a story song in the vein of Rogers’ previous hits such as “The Gambler” and “Lucille”), “The Night Goes On” (a R&B influenced ballad) and “Crazy” (a song Rogers co-wrote with Richard Marx which is in the style of “Through the Years”) that also charted and gave Rogers yet another number-one hit and Marx his second number one hit as a writer.  This album continued Rogers’ long Platinum streak, quickly selling over a million copies
