That's the way I remember it folks, and that's the way it should have been reissued. I'm sorry, but either release the album in its entirety without butchering it up or omitting songs, or just don't even bother. I'm sick and tired of wasting time and money on deceptive and sly business practices on the part of the music industry, and until such time as it cleans up its act, I'll continue to treasure my old records and tapes.
Another misleading title.......2002-07-23
This has become a fairly common marketing trick. Labels will release compilation albums, but give them the title of an original studio album, leading fans to purchase the wrong product. You have to be very careful to not be deceived by this tactic. Usually I am, but this time I got burned. Hopefully writing this will keep this from happening to some of you. A few of my other reviews are of similar deceptive albums.

Most overlooked !.......2004-09-20
Every time CMT has the best 100 song specials i'm amazed there's no Donna songs. Hello!
Authentic and moving.......2003-11-07
Donna Fargo is such a singer and a gifted composer who enriched the pop charts in the early seventies with her catchy songs The Happiest Girl In The Whole USA and Funny Face. Yes, these songs are about the domestic bliss of everyday people but somehow they're special and unique, able to soften even the most cynical of hearts with their exuberance and engaging melodies. In addition, Fargo's voice and/or accent is quite charming, with just a hint of a lisp, which makes her style even more appealing.
Besides the aforementioned hits, I also love You Were Always There, Su;perman, US of A and Whatever I Say. The other tracks aren't quite in the same league but still very enjoyable. This is country music at its best; nothing beats a brilliant song performed with genuine feeling.
Short collection of a great artist's best hits.......2003-03-04
The ABC/Dot singles here, in chronological order, were the biggest hits. After her initial pair of perky mega-hit singles, Fargo wisely added a little sarcasm with her follow-up "Superman." She also effectively merged country and gospel with "You Can't Be A Beacon (If Your Light Don't Shine)". "U.S. of A." provided a patriotic slant, but her predominant theme was domestic bliss. Fargo also, impressively, wrote most of her hits.
Fargo's late '70s Warner Brothers hits remain out of print. While those singles aren't as strong as what is found here, they have their moments. Hopefully, Warner Brothers (or Rhino) will someday put out a retrospective of those follow-up hits.

Beautiful 1970s country.......2005-01-30
None of the other tracks quite match up to these two gems, although they are mostly memorable and tuneful. Superman is an uptempo number and was a country number one like the two aforementioned hits; it reached number 41 on the pop charts. You Were Always There is a sad and gentle ballad, an ode from a child to a loving parent.
Little Girl Gone is about growing up with its excitement and disillusion, a fast paced story song with a catchy tune. I'll Try A Little Bit Harder is a typical slow country song about working to save a love that is in danger of dying, while there is a gospel undertone in the inspiring and uplifting You Can't Be A Beacon (If Your Light Don't Shine), which was also a country number one.
Overall, this is a most enjoyable collection of authentic country songs from the 1970s: melodic and moving music that has stood the test of time very well. Most of these songs made the country top 10 and several reached respectable positions on the pop charts too.

An under rated seventies country queen.......2003-05-25
Donna took some time to make a breakthrough as a singer or songwriter, during which time she worked as a schoolteacher. After she wrote and recorded Happiest girl in the whole USA, things happened very quickly. That song became a top ten American pop hit as well as a country number one. The follow-up, Funny face, did likewise. That was the end of Donna's pop hits, but she had many more country hits during the seventies.
Superman, You were always there and You can't be a beacon if your light don't shine all became country number one hits, while Little girl gone, I'll try a little bit harder, U S of A, It do feel good and Don't be angry provided Donna with further top ten country hits.
Donna's songs were mostly happy and upbeat, but she could do the weepies too - listen to her rendition of Manhattan Kansas (one of the few songs on these compilations that she didn't write). Perhaps the most famous song here is Heartbreak hotel. Donna's cover of this Elvis classic does not match the original, but I enjoy it, although I am aware that some people can't stand this version. You must make up your own mind.
She switched record labels (to Warner) in 1976 and her later recordings are on the Curb compilation (which also includes Funny face and Happiest girl in the whole USA from earlier), with the exception of a gospel album recorded for MCA in 1981, represented on the MCA compilation by Say I do.
Her Warner music is also excellent. I particulary like Somebody special, but Shame on me and Ragamuffin man are among the other highlights.
Donna has never been well represented on CD, but she had a more distinctive style and voice than most. The lady with the chuckle in her voice deserves better.

Donna in peak form.......2005-05-16
Two major country hits (That was yesterday, Do I love you) showed that Donna was in peak form. The album also includes Donna's wonderful covers of A couple more years (Dr Hook) and Mockingbird Hill, which was a huge American hit in 1951 for both Patti Page and the duo of Les Paul and Mary Ford, it was later a top ten UK hit for the Migil 5 in the sixties. Other great songs include I want to learn a love song, Cricket song and Gifts of life.
This is one of Donna's finest albums and it's great to see it available on CD.
