Duets is a compilation album by Kenny Rogers released in 1984 by Liberty Records, issued after Rogers left the label and signed to RCA Records.

The song "Together Again", a duet with Dottie West was released as a single from this album and reached No. 19 on the US country chart and No. 29 in Canada. It first appeared on their 1979 collaborative album Classics.

The album was eventually certified platinum and gold in the US and Canada, respectively. It reached No. 43 on the US country charts and No. 85 on the pop charts in 1984. It was one of three Kenny Rogers albums to chart that year, the others being new releases on RCA.

Overview

Duets opens with "We've Got Tonight", a hit 1983 single with Sheena Easton. Side two begins with another classic duet, "Don't Fall in Love with a Dreamer" with Kim Carnes from the 1980 album Gideon. All of the remaining eight songs on the album are with Dottie West and come from his two collaboration albums with West, including the 1978 hit "Every Time Two Fools Collide" from the 1978 album of the same name. However, their duet "What Are We Doin' in Love" (a No. 1 country and top 40 pop hit) from 1981 was omitted here.

Also included on this album is Sonny and Cher's "All I Ever Need Is You". Rogers' producer Larry Butler co-wrote "(Hey Won't You Play) Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song" with Chips Moman. "'Til I Can Make It On My Own" and "That's the Way It Could Have Been" are two Tammy Wynette numbers.
