Singer-Songwriter. Known for her yodeling vocal skills, she was often referred to as "The Tennessee Yodeler." Born as Betty Lou Miller near Dayton, Ohio, she developed an early interest in music while watching local country television programs. During her high school tenure, she performed as part of a singing trio. She set aside her musical career for the time but obtained a degree in elementary education. After that, she became a Kindergarten teacher. But since singing as a child, she found the pull of music too strong to deny. So it was, eventually, off to Nashville! In 1971, she released her first album, "I'm a Lady," through the Nashville North Records label. Four years later, she signed with 20th Century Fox Records and began performing under the stage name Margo Smith. Her self-titled album found great success, spawning the hit single "There I Said It." 1976's "Song Bird" continued the trend, climbing the Country billboards. The following year, she released the album "Happiness," which featured the hits "Take My Breath Away" and "Love's Explosion." Over the next two years, Smith achieved her greatest fame, releasing the albums "Don't Break the Heart That Loves You" and "A Woman." The former proved a smash success with back-to-back number 1 hit ballads, "Don't Break the Heart That Loves You" and "It Only Hurts a Little While." Smith toured heavily with her band Night Flight during the subsequent years. In 1979, she released "Still a Woman," a groundbreaking anthem for middle-aged women with its sexually charged lyrics. That year, Smith won an ASCAP Award for Country Artist of the Year. During the following decade, she maintained a prolific output, releasing six more studio albums. During the early 1990s, she began recording Christian music in collaboration with her daughter. Three albums in the genre garnered the duo vocal award nominations at the Christian Country Music Awards. In addition to her 1979 ASCAP award, Smith was honored with the CCMA's Living Legend Award in 2001.
