In 1972 Donna Fargo scored her first number 1 hit with The Happiest Girl In the Whole U.S.A. This was a song that was in sharp contrast with the drinking and cheating songs that were being performed at the time. It hit the air waves at a time when the mood in our family was not very “happy”. But when it played on the radio, it would make things seem a little more optimistic. Donna followed this hit with another "happy" song, Funny Face.

Donna had other hits such as You Were Always There, Superman, You Can't Be a Beacon If Your Light Don't Shine, Little Girl Gone, It Do Feel Good and Don't Be Angry. Other Donna Fargo hits included, That Was Yesterday(her last #1 in 1977), Mocking Bird Hill, Shame On Me, Do I Love You(Yes In Every Way), Another Goodbye, and Somebody Special.
Donna continued with recordings throughout the ‘80s and ‘90s. She has also recorded patriotic and gospel songs.
Donna Fargo would be a great headlining act in Branson with a perfect theater to get “happy” in.
