Donna Fargo wrote and recorded the 1972 country/pop hit "Happiest Girl in The Whole USA." The song became a pop and country chart topper and won her a Grammy. She followed up with a string of hits, including "Funny Face" and "You Can't Be A Beacon (If Your Light Don't Shine)"

Raised in North Carolina, Donna was a school teacher in southern California when she decided to try a singing career in Nashville. Her sunny personality and upbeat songs put her in the national spotlight, and in 1978 she hosted her own syndicated television series. In 1979 Donna announced that she had multiple sclerosis, but she continued performing and recording. In recent years she has found a second career writing poetry and greeting cards; her books include Trust in Yourself: Thoughts About Listening to Your Heart and Becoming the Person You Want to Be (1997) and To the Love of My Life: A Collection of Love Poems (2002).

In 2008, Donna is back in a big way with “We Can Do Better in America.” The song is being played on several radio stations and is available via her official website

“This was just an inspired song from the get-go,” says Donna. “The response has just been amazing. One radio station DJ faxed us and said that it was one of the most powerful songs he had ever played. Another radio person said his phones were ringing off the hook after he played it.” Donna adds that the song is not political or aimed at any particular political party. “I just hope that it’s making people think a little bit,” she says.
