  • Ah! The good ol' days when men were the bread-winners of the family and the wives got waited on hand and foot by the man EVEN after a long day's work and the men even still had time for the kids to boot! Progress? Bah Hum Bug!!! ;)

  • @PlanTonto The "progress" of PC-assholes is a step into degeneration. Fuck the modern times !

  • @SpaceCowboy641 You're absolutely correct. The moms today are raising a bunch of pansy men that can't go out and get their hands dirty to make a living. They want to sit in a chair all day. And that's why we have immigrants taking over jobs like plumbing etc...Bunch of pansies

  • @PlanTonto I agree with you in full. You described the situation in the USA. But abroad (especially Europe) it's just the same. And let me tell you this: The immigrants in Europe do often a better job than the "Aboriginies"... BTW: E.g. in Germany it'S very easy to immigrate: You don't have to speak German, could be analphabet. There are laws against illegal immigration, but it's almost impossible to send back an alcohol abusive, analphabetic Turkey or Russian, eben if he speaks no word German.

  • In 1978, Fargo was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Good to see she's still going strong.

  • wow,her accent can't get much thicker.

  • Sine I found "you-tube's" country music I just keep adding songs, where or where will it stop? I don't know but I do know I have a long way to go!

    By the way does any one out there know of or heard a song from Australia, " "The Black crow flying backwards to keep the sand out of his eyes?"

  • @1busybeekeeper Do a search for Gary Shearston, "Aborigine" is the name of the song I think you're looking for: a thousand miles beyond the never-never, (where) crows fly backwards to keep dust out of their eye, the songmen say he who loses his dreaming is lost, is lost and the darkness fills his sky aborigine, where is your sunset? aborigine, where is your sun?
  • I like it!

  • God bless Miss Donna. Sweet lady.

  • she looks like karen carpenter

  • My Mother was told the day of surgery that My Father wanted a divorce. She went into a comma after the surgery and her Granddaughter played this to her every day till she woke up several months after..... So has special meaning to me and my family........ even though my Mother isnt with me anymore think of her when I hear this song.

  • @MiddleMadMen I never sang along with this song..... I sang along with Funny Face. LOL!!! :-D

  • I see 4 people don't know squat about country music, freekin bone heads!!

  • @needtolooselots i know right

  • I read somewhere that this song was supposed to be Tanya Tucker's first single. She passed on it and it went to Donna Fargo.

  • Daveigh Chase sings this in a episode of Big Love and its much better than this. This version is rushed and has no feeling at all.

  • funny how a song that summed up my world when I was 12 seems so corny now.........still brings a smile to my face :)

  • love it me nd my grandma usta sing it nd im 15 lol

  • im 15 and a boy and listening to it. no homo

  • See, here's proof that NOT all Country Music is depressing! :)

    AWESOME Country Music Song! :)

  • Wonderful Donna Fargo!!

  • This is right up there with Lynne Anderson's rose garden, and Helen Reddy's Delta Dawn, this was when country was simpler and from the heart. Thanks for posting

  • BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL.

  • If the nike softball commerical brought u here, like this

  • I had the opportunity to hear Donna live in Nova Scotia in the mid 1980,s in Windsor Nova Scotia at the local exhibition. It was the very first time i had ever heard any singer LIVE.. What a great singer she is.. After the show while eating at my favourite local restaurant, much to my surprise, she came in and sat down at the table across from me.. I have never forgot her beautiful performance that night. Does abyone know where Donna is today? and does she still perform?

  • This is the first time hearing this song. My mom requested that I learn this song on guitar for her. And I LOVE this song now!

  • Ah yes!! 1972 Ft.Leonard Wood. 6yrs. old singing with my brother and mother.

  • I used to sing this song to my husband and we were Canadians!

  • I remember my late mother, RIP, dancing in the kitchen singing to this. Brings back happier days from long ago

  • this is how country music should be

  • That's a good one!

  • she is dressed like some one on little house on the prarie.

  • Yeh, I'm a hard rocker. But I LOVE this song!

  • Lovely song

  • This is back when singers could just sing a song, and not belt out everything, and fill in musical passages with their own riffing. Shut up already, and just sing...the...song, like Donna does here. See how nice that was? : )

  • i cant believe this clip from the grand ole opry was almost 40yrs ago

  • there will never be an era in classic rock like the 60's and the 70's.......no singer songwriters..... the music says nothing .... and no body can play an instrument .......so yes todays  wanna be rock stars suck too...

  • I'm not sure why this song strikes me as so romantic, but it does

  • @Wortnick It is, in a really simple way !

  • I did love that song and Donna Fargo was southern. That was a good time in country music history.

  • she was my very first crush damn this brings back memories lol i luv it.

  • country today is bs........they all sound alike .......like really bad hillbilly rock bands.......

  • @toothmaker22000 Just passing through. A younger person was showing me Taylor Swift. Never heard of her. So I had to show them who some of the famous country singers were when I was a kid. You know it is funny but classic rock fans say the same thing about today's wannabe rock-n-roll bands.

  • She is a true gem. This song causes me to sing along!!

  • I really wish they still made real country music like this. Wonderful video...thanks for uploading

  • My gay friends love this song and so do I! I heard that Donna is very ill. I hope she gets better.

  • @RImusclebear Ha ha GAYFRIEND .

  • I am so glad to have been apart of this Great Era of classic country music!! Thx for sharing!!

  • do you love wakin up next to me as much as i love wakin up next to you....love that part

  • it"s sad to say  but they will never make country music like this anymore as long as people keep listening to the garbage they call country music now

  • @MrArleigh You just have to know who's really writing and playing it now. Listen to Neko Case. Especially her earlier albums. Trust me. Your faith in modern music will be restored.

  • @MrArleigh And let me emphasize NEVER. I believe I remember my dad listening to pop stations when I was a kid and they would play stuff like this. That was before I realized that I liked country music. I tell everyone who asks me what kind of music I like. I immediately tell them that I hate country. I do hate country...of today.

  • @billmimms i know what you mean. I would've never admitted i liked country music growing up. It was mom's music. Now it just gives me sweet memories of my childhood.

  • @billmimms Well, I love Country. Its the only genre of music that actually has meaning. Pop Rock is awful noise. Rap isnt even music. Its noise. Country is beautiful.

  • @MrArleigh u got that right

  • Man what a crush a teenage boy had in the 70's, and to find out she was a teacher. I never had a teacher with the looks or a voice of a angel.

  • Always puts me in a good mood. Love it !!!

  • I miss real country music .I grow up listening to R&B, Hard Rock and Country . Country music was sang from the hart and the performers were from the country. I was 11 years old when this song came out in 1972 it got a lot of air play .

  • @kombey1.... You and me both, my friend. I was 12 in '72 and I'll be the first to say today's music pales by comparison.

  • This song is all bout being in love. I am. Why oh why can't the world have a singer who makes people feel like this now?

  • reminds me of being in love...thank you dan for showing me this kind of happy is possible...RIP...

  • May my life immitate song.

  • I wish they would make music like this again instead of what there doing now.

  • I am so blessed!!!

  • that was a great time for country music i don"t even listen to the new stuff at all

  • @dimpledick3inch where did you here that bullshit?

  • Iam the happiest girll for hearing this song again!!!!

  • wonderful country music! i enjoy here thank you allen

  • as a kid of the 70's, listening to WMAQ of Chicago with my dad, this song was gold!!!

  • Great song! The year I was born - would love to find a woman like this...

  • love it I have loved her since I was little kid My first love from her was funny face

    GOD bless her/

  • @yellwboxster

    forty years of liberal propaganda

  • THIS IS MY JAM!!!

  • Such a great clip! But, what's up with the backup singers in the dark? Were they the ugliest backups in the whole USA?

  • i used to listen to this everyyear along with a bunch of other songs everytime i was in the car

  • Thanks so much for sharing these videos with us. They always show clips of them when advertising those cd sets but you can't buy the damn videos anywhere. I download them and make my own dvds since they sure won't be seen on tv any more. Great stuff here.

  • Yeah, that was 44 years ago, do I feel that way now? HELL-NO......LOL

  • When I was a little girl my mom would put this on as we cleaned up the house - I grew up with Donna Fargo and still to this day I remember the days growing up with my sisters & my mom spending weekends listening to records together :)

  • @0hItsJai i'm the same way. lol I have been trying to find this song for years. could never remember the name.

  • Does anyone know if this song was written about the man she married and loved? If so is she still with him? Great song either way...thanks for posting!

  • I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE DONNA FARGO. tanks a lot for share us

    T........hank you

  • after 16 years of marraige I looked up this song because I have such a great man he makes me feel like this. Thank you lord!

  • Thanks for posting this. It was my favourite song when I was about 5 or 6 years old. Sure brings back all the old memories of the times when singers had god given talent like Donna Fargo and Karen Carpenter.

    Having a wonderful love.

  • goodone. lmao.

  • what a precious, encouraging song ;)!

  • I remember when this came out....I listened to it for hours and hours & drove my family crazy....good song by a pretty lady

  • im in a dancing place called rythm n motion and this song is for a recital song. the people wearing the costumes in the recital look like lemonade drops. : )

  • I was a teenager when Donna Fargo came on the scene, i just love her songs and her voice.

  • Did you know her real name is Yvonne Vaughn,..from Mt.Airy,N.Carolina,my mom went too high school with her..but you only hear about Andy Griffith around here./ i read larry cable guy's book he had a crush on her./ have a blessed Christmas.

  • She was my freshman English teacher in Covina, Ca. She was Yvonne Silver then. Fun teacher-I loved her.

  • @Beetsbaby That was Northview High School wasn't it?

  • @exceller22

    Yes. She was one of my favorite teachers.

  • This song makes want to cry for some reason. It reminds me of my ex-husband.

  • dont cry you are the happiest girl in the whole world

  • EPIC

  • Once when I was talking with Ralph Emery, he said, "When Donna Fargo came out with that 'Happiest Girl..." song, I thought it would never make it. Country fans want tear jerkers that reflect the sadness in their lives. Boy, was I wrong!" Just goes to show that there are folks like VenusBlue's dear parents (and my own) who were happy. Thank you, Mother & Daddy for giving me a childhood that prepared me to be one of the happiest girls in the whole USA.

  • i feel somewhere in the forest all alone

  • I love this song. I use it to wake up my little bro in the mornings

  • A lot of adults say that teenagers would rather listen to rap/rock but I'd take this song (or Dolly Parton!!!) any day

  • AMEN to that!!!

    i love all my Country Queens.

    And, I, am only 23 : )

  • @tacotacosauce1 It's cool tobe different... and Dolly's awesome!

  • @tacotacosauce1 .....im 28 yrs old and this my all time fav. music!!!!!

  • @tiffini83 you got good taste. I was 12 years old when this song came out.. I would love to be 28 again so enjoy it time goes to fast.. take care and good luck..........

  • AI am 70 yrs old, I heard all of the "classic country" songs after 11 pm from Wheeling, WVA. How lucky was I? I lived on Long Island in NY. I am truly blessed.

  • Don't tell me, Luggy-WHN 1050AM in NY. That's where I learned about country living on Long Island myself.

  • Perhaps the most underrated. See her wiki entry. Awesome.

  • VenusBlue: What a sweet comment. To be able to say that is such a blessing in life. Your posting made me smile.

  • God this reminds me of my parents...they were so happy.

  • A Beautiful woman, i was able to see her perform at Elmendorf Air Force Base in 1976 as a young service man. It wasn't popular to be in uniform at that time, but she gave us a wonderful show and thanked us for our service.

  • What a talented woman. Too bad her career was cut short by Multiple Sclerosis, Donna was one of the best of her era. As a child, I was fortunate enough to have the chance to see her perform at a small amusement park(can't remember the name of the park) somewhere in the Pocono Mountains.

  • shes hot

  • Mar Kjartansson Thangs For posting!,,My favorite Country  70s Song

  • I'm only 16, but I love this song. I can picture myself singing this around the house while getting my kids up for school...okay that sounds kind of corny, but whatever, I do.

  • it's not corny, I'm glad to hear that young people like yourself likes good country music like Donna Fargo, I'm 34 & i remember listening to this song on 8 track,, that's way before your time LOL

  • I'm 36 and I actually do that sometimes. LOL! Dreams do come true every once in a while. You'll have a happy family if you really believe in this song and it sounds like you get it. ;P

  • The thing I remember most of this song was KOMO AM 1000 (ABC) in Seattle used to play this alot back in the 70's and it never left my memory bank!

  • Man what memories. I was 4 years old in 1977 when i first heard this song. My mother loved Donna Fargo. Please post more of her great music. What a legend.

  • Great song... I was six in 1972 , and I remember it coming on Radio

  • I'm 39 and I was a little kid when this song first hit the airwaves. One Hell of a song, that's for sure.
