记得在自传里Kenny Rogers曾经说过，when you wake up in the morning, the purpose of your life, if you have one, will let you keep going and going。作为成年人，我们越来会变得越self-supported and self-oriented，所以想要有充实和精彩的人生，还需要自己去设计与把握！
Kenny四十岁成名之后的三十八年时间里开始涉足各个领域。
1985年出品的公益歌曲"We Are the World"和"USA for AFrica"活动至今令世界各国的歌迷们记忆犹新，歌曲由Michael Jackson & Lionel Richie创作，Kenny Rogers不仅是主唱之一。据维基记载，In 1981 Kenny bought the old ABC Dunhill building and built one of the most popular and state of the art recording studios in Los Angeles. Many of the biggest artist and bands in the world including, Michael Jackson, Chicago, Lionel Richie, Rod Stewart and Kenny Rogers, recorded at Lion Share. The song "We Are The World" was also recorded there.[16]
