I'm an old school country fool, and I love this song! ☺I also love "Funny Face" and Hello Little Bluebird". I remember watching the Donna Fargo Show years ago and thinking what a nice person she seemed. Donna Fargo has one of the sweetest voices I've ever heard.
I was a kid who didn’t much care for country music at the time that this was all over the radio. I couldn’t help but love the undeniable bubbliness and joy of this song.
Donna Fargo is my favorite singer. She has many great songs. Donna is another female country singer who is a singer/songwriter. My favorite song is "That was yesterday."
This was one of my favorite songs as a child in the 70s. My dad called me Sunshine and he would sing that line, shine on me sunshine, to me and I would shout I'm the happiest girl in the whole USA! Thank you for that memory!
For the saddest Donna Fargo song, check out "Sign of the Times". Even happier than "Happiest Girl" is "You Can't Be A Beacon (If You Light Don't Shine)".
One of 2 crossover hits for Donna Fargo! Funny Face was the other one, both gold records. She won a grammy for Her Happiest Girl song, Best Female Country Vocal. 😎
Donna Fargo became my all time favorite singer when this song came out. She was the first female in country music history to have back to back million selling singles with this song and Funny Face. She’s a great singer/songwriter and author. Thank you so much for spotlighting this amazing song!!
I haven't heard this song in decades! A great memory, thanks for choosing it. Another sweet country song for female Friday is "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue" by Crystal Gayle, from the late '70s. It was a big crossover hit to the pop world.
This was ALWAYS my mom's first song of many that she would play to start the day! I was 7 years old then. The loving memories come flooding back with the happy tears. Thank you for playing this beautifully upbeat song ♥

@RonSafreed I think it was 1978 when she formally retired. I saw her at a CB jamboree in 1976, where she autographed a T shirt for me with her likeness on it. Still have it today.

Aww I’m so glad you all did this one! I was a little girl at the retro laundromat while my momma was doing Laundry. They had the old school juke box. I would go stand on my toes to read all the songs and inevitably an adult would walk up and ask if there were songs I wanted to hear. I lived for that!! Anyway this song was on top of my list! Ty guys! ❤
This was covered by a thirteen year old Tanya Tucker on her debut album, Delta Dawn. My mother played that album almost as relentlessly as she did her Elvis Presley albums. This was one of my favorite tracks on that album.
One of those songs I can remember coming out of the radio on the kitchen table, mom singing and swinging around the kitchen while preparing a meal. Thanks for letting me relive a great memory!
Watched you all for a while. I love that you did this song. I first heard it when I was probably 7 or 8. I fell in love with the song and especially her! Miss Donna,
I try not to miss any of your reacts, but I haven't seen you guys react to Tanya Tucker!!! She is AWESOME for 70s era country. She had her biggest hit with her first one, Delta Dawn, at age 13! I hope this gets some thumbs up.
I remember my mother playing this song on the stereo at least one morning during the week while she was getting us all ready, fed, off to school and my dad off to work. I think it was a bit of a subliminal message to my dad to let him know how much she loved him. It definitely made an impression on us kids that our parents loved each other. My sisters and I would sing along and then leave for school "The Happiest Kids in the Whole U.S.A." 🥰
I'm 60 years old...use to sing this song over and over and over as it played on my record player back when I was a young girl...often with my mom singing with me. It's still one of my all time favorites.
I love it when you revisit early '70s country music. I know you love story songs, so you really should check out country singer Tom. T. Hall (whose nickname was The Storyteller). Start with his "Old Dogs, Children and Watermelon Wine" and then "The Year That Clayton Delaney Died."
ILL take T a.k.a. 10RNA of does happiest? I want the happiest HAP Pi EST girl G. R. L and the hounited states of America USA I want the happiest of girl.
Yes "Funny Face" and "Superman" were he two other biggest hits, but "Funny Face" was the song my stepdad used to sing to my mom. It was his song to her along with "Daisy A Day."
I always listened to my area's top 40 pop station as a kid, but then they started playing this country song...and I think it was the first country song I ever loved. Thanks for playing it!
I’m a 62 year old my sitting here crying, thinking of my mom who passed away nine years ago. This was a favorite of her’s. What a great way to end the day, great song and great memories. Love it.
I am crying too because this song reminds me of hearing it at my Grandparents' house when I was 6 or 7 and absolutely loving it. I only wish I had known to appreciate those times more than I did because seemingly a decade later I'm now 58 and my Grandparents are long gone.
my history too. same age as you, but mine passed during the time this song was popular in ;74 mom liked all those country hit from george jones to hank williams, but she also like ccr, paul simon , the carpenters too,
✝️✝️✝️🙏☮️Also Marie Osmond Paper Roses and with Donnie I’m Leaving It All Up To You. I Never Promised You A Rose Garden by Lynne Anderson. Playground in My Mind by Clint Holmes. Into The Mystic by Van Morrison and Freddy Fender with Before the Next Teardrop Falls and Wasted Days and Wasted Nights and also Eddie Rabbit Driving My Life Away! Also Poco with Crazy Love!Our great cherished songs from the 70s!
thank you so much for picking this one, D.F. was one of my moms favorite and i remember listening to her when driving around with my mom in the late 70's early 80's, lost my mom in 82, and now whenever i hear this song i think of nothing but my mom.
Right up there with ABBA’s “Honey Honey” for being the most wholesome sunny song of all time! Ah hell. Getting teary-eyed over a song I haven’t heard in years. 🌞🌞🌞
Enjoyed hearing this again . . .. It's worth buying a Donna Fargo Greatest Hits. I have 6 of her albums. She was born Yvonne and used to be the head of the English Dept at Northview High in Covina, CA, in the mid 1960's. While teaching, she pursued a career in music, took the name Donna Fargo, and had about 15 - 20 great songs including "Do I Love You" in 1977 which I recommend highly. Fun fact: Tanya Tucker also recorded "The Happiest Girl In The Whole U.S.A." in 1972. Both are good. Donna's is the standard.
My dad loved this song. I have such fond memories of driving in the car with my dad and this playing on our way to visit my grandparents. Music is amazing in that it can bring back memories and emotions untapped in years. Thank you!
Fun fact she was from a small town in North Carolina it is the same little town that Andy Griffin was from and that is Mount Airy . Also it is the town that Andy based the town of Mayberry on.
Dolly Parton is who I first think of when someone says cross-over, country. She had country songs that were big hits during the disco era. Try, Two Doors Down. The second name that comes to mind is Bobby Gentry. I heard her song, Mississippi Delta played in the intro to a movie last year. I’d forgotten that song. Edit: I thought Donna sounded quite a bit like Dolly at the start of the song. Dolly also has that country twang to her voice.
I am tearing up, this takes me back to being a little girl spinning circles and singing this song. I was 4 or 5 yrs old. My parents listened to country.
Donna Fargo has always been my favorite singer. She has had so many hit songs with 6 going to number 1. Donna is still releasing new music. Check out her latest song called "One of the Good Guys". It is awesome!
Donna Fargo whose real name is Yvonne Vaughan, is from Mt Airy NC. Her brother, Gale, was a musician himself and played in a band with my great-uncle. My mom and dad went to school with her. BTW Andy Griffith was my 3rd cousin. His mom and my great grandmother were sisters. He was my grandma's 1st cousin and my mom's 2nd cousin and I grew up hearing stories and seeing photos. Andy's big break was a recording called "What It Was, Was Football." Lots of great talent from NC and Donna is a testament to that.
