Donna Fargo’s Hit Song

The track “The Happiest Girl in the Whole USA” was not even supposed to be the title of the song. Donna Fargo admitted that instead of the USA, it was originally ‘Happiest Girl in the Whole World.’ She then changed it due to difficulty in rhyming the word to other words. The song became a hit in both country and pop charts.

This cemented Donna Fargo’s career as a country artist and it spawned to more music from her.  The track also earned Fargo a Grammy for Best Country Vocal Performance back in 1973.  The song was also well-loved by her fellow country artists. Tammy Wynette, Tanya Tucker, and Nancy Sinatra did their version of the song. Popstar Lana Del Ray was also fond of the track so she performed it at one of her gigs back in 2009.
