When Kenny Rogers paired up with Scottish pop songstress Sheena Easton for &We've Got Tonight,& the hit title track from this 1983 album, one could quibble about Easton's occasionally overwrought and bombastic performance, but there are a few moments of truly sublime vocal interplay. The album provides a little of Rogers' trademark storytelling with &Scarlet,& and quite a bit of soaring balladry as heard on &All My Life,& both of which were hits. You will be forgiven for thinking the albums sounds a bit like Lionel Richie in places, since Richie contributes the song &How Long.& Rogers ends the album with &You Are So Beautiful,& a loving tribute to his legions of female fans, but male listeners may want to cut out early.
