Sheena Easton and Kenny Rogers paired up for “We’ve Got Tonight” and delivered a perfectly matched, emotional collaboration. They captured a rare chemistry that helped define early ’80s country-pop and left a lasting impression on fans.
“We’ve Got Tonight” was produced by Rogers and David Foster. It was featured on Rogers' They Don't Make Them Like They Used To album.
However, the song was not an original, but a cover. “We’ve Got Tonight” was first performed by Bob Seger for his 1978 album Stranger In Town. Seger was inspired to write the song after watching the Robert Redford and Paul Newman film, The Sting.

Rogers’ deep voice grounded the track while Easton’s softer tones helped create an intimate dialogue. This helped give the song the emotional pull that contributed to its success.
Rogers said of the song, as reported by Smooth Radio, “Sheena was on Capitol at the same time I was. Jim Mazza had found ‘We’ve Got Tonight,’ which was a Bob Seger song. He said that we should do the song as a duet instead of me trying to compete with Bob Seger. [Sheena] was so hot at the time and so gracious. She sang it so beautifully.”
