About The Record:

What About Me? is the twelfth studio album by Kenny Rogers, released by RCA Records. 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, "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. Though this album didn't enjoy the success of his previous albums, What About Me? was a hit with its strongest showing being number nine on the Country music album charts during a chart run of nearly a year.
