"Every Time Two Fools Collide" is a song written by Jan Dyer and Jeff Tweel and recorded by American country music artists Kenny Rogers and Dottie West.
They began talking about recording a duet, and West suggested "Every Time Two Fools Collide".
Their association lasted three years, setting the trend for a string of country hits, including 1981's "What Are We Doin' in Love".
Although they had not recorded together for some time prior to her death, Rogers and West maintained a close friendship.
In his autobiography, Rogers recalls the last time he saw West was at the hospital after her fatal accident, stating that while she was believed to be unconscious, he nevertheless carried out a (one-sided) conversation with her hoping she could hear him.
