At 49, country performer and songwriter Dottie West seems to be filled with boundless energy, both on and off stage. After a recent concert, she enjoyed a brief moment of relaxation on her bus. The bright red, skin-tight cowgirl outfit she wore on the stage has been replaced by a pair of slacks, a sweater and a blazer. But the flaming red hair, pearly white smile and flashing eyes were the same. �In 1980, I did 320 concerts, and 170 of those were with Kenny Rogers,� she said. �Last year, I did tours with Eddie Rabbit, the Oak Ridge Boys, Mel Tillis, the Gatlin Brothers and a lot with just us-me, my band and my vocalists.� Miss West is a songwriter with several Grammy nominations and one Grammy Award to her credit. She also won an award for a jingle she wrote for Coca Cola. �You will probably be hearing some of my own songs in the future,� she said., �but I�ll tell you, for the past four years especially I have really concentrated on being the singer and my concerts. I�m staying so buisy with concerts and travelling that I really haven�t taken time to write that much.� Miss West has been a country music performer for quiet a while, but her popularity has never greater. She has Kenny Rogers to thank for her greater visibility. �I think there was magic the first time we ever sang together and that was on �Every Time Two Fools Collide.� Dottie recalled. �We all felt that the chemistry or the mix or the blend of the voices was just magic.� Miss West has accomplished a lot, but she has goals for the future. �I would like to be a country entertainer of the year of the year,� she said. �And there�s time. I don�t say that I�ve got to do this in 1982 because I don�t want that kind pressure on me. But I really hope it happens because I�m just the kind of person who likes to be No.1 in whatever I�m doing. And I would still like to write some NO.1 songs and more awards as a writer.�
