About Donna Fargo With her first album, The Happiest Girl in the Whole U.S.A., which achieved platinum album status and earned her a Grammy, Donna Fargo established herself in 1972 as an award-winning singer, songwriter, and performer. With her second single release called “Funny Face,” Donna became the first woman in country music history to have back-to-back million-selling singles, both of which she wrote. Many hit singles and albums followed. Some of her credits include seven Academy of Country Music awards, five Billboard awards, fifteen Broadcast Music Incorporated (BMI) writing awards, fifteen BMI publishing awards, four ASCAP awards, and two National Association of Recording Merchandisers awards for best-selling artist. She has also been honored by the Country Music Association, the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, and the Music Operators of America, and she was the first inductee into the North America Country Music Association’s International Hall of Fame. In addition to the Robert J. Burton Award that she won for “Most Performed Song of the Year,” her most coveted awards as a writer are her Million-Airs Awards, presented to writers of songs that achieve the blockbuster status of one million or more performances. Her performance on a show at Carnegie Hall interested the Osmond family enough in 1978 to produce the syndicated television variety show, The Donna Fargo Show. World tours and more hits and cds followed during the 80s and 90s. Recently, the state of North Carolina named a highway after her and she was inducted into the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame. Prior to achieving superstardom and becoming one of the most prolific songwriters in Nashville, Donna was a high school English teacher. It is her love of the English language and her desire to communicate sincere and honest emotions that compelled Donna to try her hand at writing something other than song lyrics and melodies. In the 1990s, Donna began writing greeting cards and books and other items for merchandising for Blue Mountain Arts. Some of Donna’s inspirational books include Trust In Yourself, To The Love Of My Life, I Prayed For You Today, 10 Golden Rules For Living In This Crazy, Mixed-Up World, and I Thanked God For You Today, all of which are available at DonnaFargo.com. Currently, My Prayer For You and her seventh book, My Prayer For You, My Friend, along with her 2018 calendar, My Prayer For You, My Friend, are available on Amazon.com. Most recently, Varese Sarabande Records released a 16-song cd of Donna’s hits on Warner Brothers called That Was Yesterday, also now available on Amazon.com………..Stay tuned.
