@timemachineshow Yes.She seems very uncomfortable right off the bat.I detected a nervous quiver in her voice in the first few seconds of the song

WOW. Such a treat to see this rare footage of Donna Fargo before she hit it big in the '70s
-
i like this wonderful song =)
-
@MightySaturn5 It was pre-"Happiest Girl". This performance was done on the Melody Ranch show in 1967, where she was still a schoolteacher, appearing on TV for the very first time, where she performed 2 songs (see my previous post on details about this performance.)

@rmhand That must have been really great to see. I would love to meet her and see her live. I'm a big time Donna Fargo fan. Got a lot of her records.

@GorgonZa This particular song was never released commercially. It was only performed here on the Melody Ranch show in 1967, where in this particular episode, she performed two songs: Country Singer's Wife (Unreleased), and Daddy (which was released for the first time as a single a year after this performance in 1968. It was re-recorded on her Just For You album in 1979.) Note her particular shyness on this performance and compare it to her Hee Haw performances after getting used to performing.

Although she didn't have any hit singles in the period between 1969-1971, the Academy Country Music, based in Los Angeles, awarded Donna, a U. of So. California graduate, gave her the Best New Artist award. In 1972, after she had the song "Happiest Girl in the USA", Decca Records re-released her Challenge record singles.

Donna wrote most of her own songs including this one.
