Biography

With her first album, The Happiest Girl in the Whole U.S.A., which achieved platinum album status and earned her 3 Grammy nominations and a Grammy, Donna Fargo established herself 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, 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. Together, Donna as the writer and Stan as the publisher, have six Million-Airs Awards and thirty BMI Awards. Her performance on a show at Carnegie Hall interested the Osmond family enough to produce the syndicated television variety show, The Donna Fargo Show.
