Margo Smith (April 9th, 1942 - January 23rd, 2024) is an American country music singer. In the 1970's, she was a popular female country vocalist, acquiring two No. 1 hits on the country charts during that time, "Don't Break the Heart That Loves You" and "It Only Hurts for a Little While", both country music remakes of previous pop music standards. She is also considered a "world-class yodeler".
In the late 1970's, after releasing 1979's A Woman album, Smith's image metamorphosed and became more risque in both her costumes and recorded material, like 1979's top 10 country hit, "Still a Woman".
History with the Macy's Parade[]
Margo made her Parade debut in 1978, Where she sang "Don't Break the Heart That Loves You" at Herald Square. Originally, she was scheduled to perform on the Rocking Giraffe, but the Head of the float was stolen before the Parade started, so she sang it on foot.
