Donna Fargo - Biography

 
last update : 07-04-2007 21:42
In the early '70s, Donna Fargo was an unusual country star for a
couple of reasons. She was one of the few female country singers
to write her own material, and one of the few country singers of
any sort to cross over to the pop charts in a big way, which she
did in 1972 with "The Happiest Girl in the Whole U.S.A." (number
11) and "Funny Face" (number five). She never made the pop Top
40 again, but placed over a dozen more singles in the country Top
Ten in the '70s, most written by herself. As an artist, she was
squarely in the mainstream, her slightly lisping voice delivering
upbeat, sweetly produced homilies to romance, home, and
America. She faded after developing multiple sclerosis in 1979,
although she continued writing and performing.
