Donna Fargo's first album, The Happiest Girl in the Whole U.S.A., achieved platinum album status and earned her a Grammy. Donna's credits include seven Academy of Country Music awards, five Billboard awards, fifteen Broadcast Music Incorporated (BMI) writing awards, and two National Association of Recording Merchandisers awards for best-selling artist. Prior to achieving stardom, 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. Her writings appear on Blue Mountain Arts greeting cards, books, calendars, and other gift items.
