What About Me? is the sixteenth studio album by Kenny Rogers, released by RCA Nashville (see 1984 in music).
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.[1], 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.
The song "The Night Goes On" was used as a love theme for the Eden Capwell and Cruz Castillo characters on the Santa Barbara TV series during the mid-1980s.
