Sobre el álbum
El álbum Share Your Love, de 1981, marca un punto de inflexión en la carrera de Kenny Rogers, ya que supone su inmersión total en el sonido del R&B y el pop, de la mano del legendario Lionel Richie. Este último produjo el álbum y compuso varias de las canciones. El disco tiene un sonido suave, seductor y eminentemente romántico.
En primer lugar, la producción de Richie es inconfundible. Las baladas tienen un aire de "quiet storm" y los medios tiempos un groove de soul-pop muy característico de su estilo. El sonido country tradicional queda en un segundo plano para dar paso a un R&B sofisticado y adulto.
La balada "Share Your Love with Me" y el medio tiempo "I Don't Need You" fueron grandes éxitos. Mientras tanto, el disco también incluye un dueto con la propia Gladys Knight (sin The Pips), reforzando su conexión con el mundo del soul.
En definitiva, "Share Your Love" es una colaboración estelar, un disco que unió a dos de las más grandes voces de la música popular para crear una obra de una elegancia y una calidad supremas. Es la prueba definitiva de que Kenny Rogers era mucho más que un cantante de country.

Letra
Let's go out in a blaze of glory All good things must end Like two heroes in a story Let's go out like we came in In a blaze of glory Here we are broken hearted We thought our love would never end We fell hard when we got started We're fallin' out like we fell in Let's go out in a blaze of glory All good things must end Like two heroes in a story Let's go out like we came in In a blaze of glory Let's don't lie and hurt each other That would be our worst mistake Once again let's act like lovers One more time for old time's sake Let's go out in a blaze of glory All good things must end Like two heroes in a story Let's go out like we came in In a blaze of glory Let's go out in a blaze of glory All good things must end Like two heroes in a story Let's go out like we came in In a blaze of glory - I Don´t Need You3:27
- The Good Life2:47
Baby, I've made up my mind And take all the good life that I've found I promise myself, if I was to make it I had to do the best that I can Oh, 'cause the good life is all that I am. I know problems will come But I know I can make it with you by my side And every day I was a little harder To be a good stronger feeling man Oh, 'cause the good life is all that I am. I tried chasing rainbow But all I got was rainy day And I tried to find a true love Some harder love will sweep away Now that I found you. Baby I feel like a brand new man Oh, 'cause the good life is all that I am, Is all that I am, is all that I am... - Makes Me Wonder If I Ever Said Goodbye2:29
Letra
She at times still comes around Though she's someone else's now And I can't let down, no matter how I try. If I leave her then I find She's no farther than my mind Makes me wonder, if I ever said goodbye. Night and day it's all the same Pour some whiskey on my flame And burn another memory in my mind. Through the years she's moved up town While I come a long way down Makes me wonder, if I ever said goodbye. Yes, she always says hello The way she used to But Lord, she only said goodbye one time. Heaven knows I live in hell With a barroom for myself Makes me wonder, if I ever said goodbye. Makes me wonder, if I ever said goodbye... - Through The Years4:48
I can't remember when you weren't there When I didn't care for anyone but you I swear we've been through everything there is Can't imagine anything we've missed Can't imagine anything the two of us can't do Through the years You've never let me down You turned my life around The sweetest days I've found I've found with you Through the years I've never been afraid I've loved the life we've made And I'm so glad I stayed Right here with you Through the years I can't remember what I used to do Who I trusted, who I listened to before I swear you've taught me everything I know Can't imagine needing someone so But through the years it seems to me I need you more and more Through the years Through all the good and bad I know how much we had I've always been so glad To be with you Through the years It's better everyday You've kissed my tears away As long as it's okay I'll stay with you Through the years Through the years When everything went wrong Together we were strong I know that I belong Right here with you Through the years I never had a doubt We'd always work things out I've learned what life's about By loving you Through the years Through the years You've never let me down You turned my life around The sweetest days I've found I've found with you Through the years It's better everyday You've kissed my tears away As long as it's okay I'll stay with you Through the years - Share Your Love With Me3:19

Life's winding road is maybe lonely We may never pass this way again So let's be friends. I know our problems come between us But there's one thing you must understand I wanna be your man.

Letra
He was nine years old when his folks left home On a wagon headin' west And his mom and dad knew he'd grow up bad By the mark of the devil on his chest Seventeen he turned up mean He had already made his bid He had a name in the fast gun game And they called him the "Devil Kid" Now the kid's name grew and his gun did too When an old ghost town appeared Sittin' there in the marshall's chair Was the one they called "Grey Beard" "Kid, you better quit while the quittin's good Cus there's always one that's bigger There'll be one guy with a faster eye Who's lightning on the trigger Let me tell you, son, about a real fast gun That every outlaw feared He made his name in this killin' game He's the one they call "Grey Beard" He had a drawin' hand like no other man It was faster than the eye And there were always plenty of kids about twenty Just couldn't wait to die He was a fast gun Lookin' to make a name Quikin' was his virtue Killin' was the game So the kid said, "Tell me, where is this man who never feared a gun?" Grey Beard raised his head and said, "Your looking at him, son." So the kid tried staring Grey Beard down With eyes like ace up dice And Grey Beard's frown turned upside down To a smile as cold as ice So the Devil Kid reached for his gun With a draw as fast as light But he lost the game from a shot that came From somewhere out of sight And as the kid went down and he hit the ground Thought he had lost his mind He heard Grey Beard snicker "I was even quicker before I went stone blind" Fast gun Lookin' to make a name Quikin' was his virtue He was killed at his game
