Talk:Captain (ice hockey)

The proper term is alternate.
From the NHL Rule book (Bolds are my own)

"Rule 14 Captain of Team

(a) One Captain shall be appointed by each Team, and he alone shall have the privilege of discussing with the Referee any questions relating to interpretation of rules which may arise during the progress of a game. He shall wear the letter "C", approximately three inches (3'') in height and in contrasting color, in a conspicuous position on the front of his sweater.

In addition, if the permanent Captain is not on the ice, Alternate Captains (not more than two) shall be accorded the privileges of the Captain. Alternate Captains shall wear the letter "A" approximately three inches (3'') in height and in contrasting color, in a conspicuous position on the front of their sweaters.

(NOTE) Only when the captain is not in uniform, the '''Coach shall have the right to designate three Alternate Captains. This must be done prior to the start of the game.'''

(b) The Referee and Official Scorer shall be advised prior to the start of each game, the name of the Captain and the Alternate Captains of both Teams.

(c) Only the Captain, when invited to do so by the Referee, shall have the privilege of discussing any point relating to the interpretation of rules. Any Captain or player who comes off the bench and makes any protest or intervention with the Officials for any purpose shall be assessed a minor penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct under Rule 41(b) - Abuse of Officials. Should this protest continue, he may be assessed a misconduct penalty, and if it further continues, a game misconduct penalty shall be warranted.

A complaint about a penalty is NOT a matter "relating to the interpretation of the rules" and a minor penalty shall be imposed against any Captain or other player making such a complaint.

(d) No playing Coach or playing Manager or goalkeeper shall be permitted to act as Captain or Alternate Captain."

Now, also working with common sense, an ice hockey captain does not need an "assistant". One does need an "alternate" when they are not available. Unless you have any evidence to assure your point, please stop changing "alternate" to "assistant".Habsfannova 23:26, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

 * And the proper name for the state is "Rhode Island and Providence Plantations," while the name of the city is really "El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles de la Porciúncula," not "Los Angeles." It still doesn't mean people won't call you a cranky pedant for insisting on the accurate and correct terms.  As it happens, "assistant captain" is common and general usage.  Common sense is irrelevant.  Ravenswing 06:06, September 13, 2005 (UTC)

 * If "assistant captain" is common usage, as it does seem from a couple of Google searches, then that is a fact worthy of noting in the article, so I'm putting it in. -- Jao 10:09, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

 * RG, I don't think geographical names, which do change with times, are really relavent either. While I'm not opposed to using the term "assistant" in the article (I admit, I should have put that in there as well, my bad), I was opposed to simply replacing "alternate" with "assistant" without any grounds showing so.  This is an encyclopedia, and we should use the proper terms when necessary.  I also apologize if I came accross as haughty.Habsfannova 15:46, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Curious Reader: If the rules say Alternate, so be it. Say Habsfannova/Ravenswing ,did you guys happen to notice that (correct me if I'm wrong) from the 1975-76 to the 1984-85 Nhl season, the teams did't have alternate captains (Nobody wore 'A's) they had Just The Captain. If you have notice this (in old NHL team photos & games), is there a reason for it having occured? 23 October 2005.

 * Talk about missing something. If anyone still cares about the answer, it's simple: between those seasons, the league abolished alternate captains.  When they reinstated them, they allowed only two per team rather than the previous three.  Ravenswing 03:52, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

==Help Please== Does anyone know for certain if Bryan Trottier ,was the Captain of team Canada in the 1981 Canada Cup? If not Trottier, then who? Mightberight/wrong 17:50, 31 October 2005. :I've watched (December 2nd, 2005) a program about the history, USSR vs Canada (1972 summit series, and the 1976,'81,'84 and '87 Canada Cups all on the NHL network. I've discoverd that, the 1981 Canada Cup Team Canada captain was: Denis Potvin. GoodDay 19:45, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

Buffalo
How can Buffalo have two captains? Bayerischermann 23:01, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Lots of teams in hockey have co-captains, and handle it in different ways. Some have one guy for home and the other for away games (this is how I remember Boston doing Middleton and Bourque as co-captains for a couple years), others trade half-seasons, others do alternate games.  Ravenswing 03:54, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Some teams in the past, have used tri-captains (3 captains). The Calgary Flames used this method 1984-87 (See Calgary Flames captains) & the Vancouver Canucks 1990-91 (See Vancouver Canucks captains). GoodDay 17:27, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

A Request
To the users, who continue to put the names of players they believe will be or should be captains, please stop it. The section 'Current captains' is just that current captains, alternate captains and/or non letter players don't belong. GoodDay 22:36, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Goalie As Captain
Could some information be added as to why goalies cannot be captains? Twice it mentions that they cannot be yet does not mention why.--68.45.76.174 01:43, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Because NHL rules forbid it; it isn't any more complex than that. Ravenswing 05:35, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Lot's of the time in NHL 2004 and NHL 2005, if you traded away a player with a letter, the it would automatically go to the goalie. A glitch, but funny! FogDevil 22:23, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

What about Stevie Y?
I don't know how to insert photos on articles. If I could, I'd put Steve Yzerman's photo instead of Gretzky's. Stevie holds the record for longest serving captain. Stevie would be more appropiate, also (I know this is POV of me), there's more then enough Wayne Gretzky photos throughout the different NHL articles. GoodDay 18:36, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
 * In all fairness, Gretzky is hockey's most recognizable star. That being said, you do have a valid point, and I certainly wouldn't argue either way.  If you can find a usable picture of Stevie Y holding the Stanley Cup, that would be perfect.  Doogie2K (talk) 19:54, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

OHL?
Why does this article feature a list of the OHL captains? Why not a link to the list? It seems very arbitrary that the OHL should have it's list be featured, and not that of the WHL, AHL, QMJHL, etc. I suggest this list be removed, or linked. Sven Erixon 18:44, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
 * If want, you can create a link to the OHL list, or you can add the AHL, WHL and QMJHL etc. What ever you see fit, you have as much right as anyother editor to make those changes. GoodDay 13:14, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Request - captains list
Looking for a list of captains over time for each NHL team. If possible please identify which have won stanley cups and link to the story of their teams cup runs.
 * See all 30 NHL team articles, each has a 'team captains' list. GoodDay 15:49, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Discussion of performance/behaviour of captains
The second paragraph of the section, "Selection process", in its discussion of the performance and behaviour of captains, is mostly opinion and has no sources. Does this type of discussion belong in the article? Isaac Lin 06:01, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

NHL rules on number of alternate captains
The referenced NHL rulebook says that for any given game, there can only be one captain + up to two alternate captains, or up to three alternate captains if there is no captain. Have the rules changed, or is Pittsburgh rotating its three alternates per game amongst four players? Isaac Lin 19:40, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Up until John LeClair was sent down to the AHL (after clearing waivers), the Penguins rotated it's four alternate's on (I believe) a monthly bases. Now that Leclair is in the AHL, they reverted to 3- alternates. GoodDay 18:42, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Multiple Captains
Should we add a section explaining Rotating Captains & Co-Captains, Tri-Captains. This could help explain to unfamilliar viewers, why teams have OR had multiple players wearing the 'C' on the same team during the same season. Example Buffalo Sabres, San Jose Sharks in 2003-04, Detroit Red Wings in 1973-74 & Minnesota Wild since 2000. GoodDay 18:50, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I've added mention of Co-Captains & Tri-Captains. GoodDay 18:09, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Team captains
I've re-listed the team captains, on most of the 30 NHL team pages. I've listed by season NOT by players. Leave your opinon at Talk:Buffalo Sabres. I've posted here, as I'd figured it would be easier to reach many NHL Wikipedians, rather then posting seperately, on all 30 team pages. GoodDay 20:35, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Update, consensus was to list captains by player NOT by season. I've since made the edits called for by the consensus. GoodDay 06:14, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Four Alternates
If you can only have two alternates, how do many teams have four, as well as a captain? Examples (using the List of current NHL captains and alternate captains as reference) are Atlanta Thrashers, New Jersey Devils, and Washington Capitals. Do they rotate? If so, someone should make that clear on that article as it does say "(Rotating)" by Minnesota Wild already. Bsroiaadn 07:43, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
 * The Devils & Thrashers named their alternates for the entire season. The Wild on a monthly basis. The Capitals? have only 2 alternate (Sutherby & Ovechkin) serving under their captain (Clark). GoodDay 22:10, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
 * See the line: Teams need not appoint the same players as alternate captains from game to game, thought they generally do. GoodDay 22:36, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

No captain
It was mentioned before (but was since removed), Teams don't need to appoint a captain. They can have alternate captains only. GoodDay 20:36, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
 * That's still in the article in the alternate captains section. Croctotheface 20:49, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah yes, as someone once told me read the article. GoodDay 20:54, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
 * In fact, they don't need to appoint any captains or alternates--but then they forfeit the right to discuss things with the officials.Djob (talk) 01:26, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

Picture?
we should probably pick something other than the Flames, a team that already has a "c" on their jersy. People might think that the "c" replaces the team's emblem. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.163.128.193 (talk) 18:56, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

No captains on ice
Is it a requirement for a team to have at least a captain on ice?202.180.98.76 05:24, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Nope. GoodDay 18:10, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
 * But if you don't have a lettered player on the ice, you can't send someone over to discuss things with a referee. If a player comes off the bench to talk to the referee, he cannot return to the bench before the next face-off or the team will get a bench minor for delay of game.Djob (talk) 01:30, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

European captain to win the Cup
Trying to avoid an edit war so I'll just say: We need references for it, NHL say Lidström's the first, challenging that means really good and reliable references. --Krm500 (talk) 03:00, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

 * That ref does not say that Lidström is the first European-born captain to win the cup. Saying that he's the first European captain to win the cup is fairly safe, but the fact that another Cup-winning captain was born in Europe is easily verifiable: confirms Gardiner's place of birth, and  confirms his captain status. -- Jao (talk) 10:38, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Ok, but my search indicated that there has been three European born captains to win the cup before Lidström. They should also be included, with refs. --Krm500 (talk) 14:40, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Image
I have nothing against Jarome Iginla or the Flames, but a Flames jersey is probably not the best to illustrate the concept... I'd change it, but I don't know whom to choose. If someone has a free image of Steve Yzerman's Red Wings captain jersey, that might be a good choice? After all, he is the one known as "the Captain". If we keep Iginla, we'd have to tweak the caption to remove any possible confusion. -- Jao (talk) 16:11, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Yea I understand your concern, I'll see if I have any better images we could use. --Krm500 (talk) 22:47, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

question about refs
Re: this edit with WP:ES of "Records: These refs do NOT source these assertions. They either cite WP as a source or require OR to extract the content."

Please provide some additional information about the issues you have raised with the individual citations.

 * Crosby - while I agree that WP may not always be correct, if the starting date for the Pens season is incorrect, then it should be tagged over at 2007–08 Pittsburgh Penguins season.
 * Lecavalier - the game log in the ref was provided as evidence that he actually played in the game in question, which was the first after the team's announcement.
 * Yzerman - Game logs from 1986 are not available online. However, since the player played in every game of the schedule (per a cited source) and the date of the first game of the schedule is known (per a separate cited source), then it logically follows that the player's first game as captain was the first game of that schedule.

Though these references are not the smoking gun style which would have been obviously preferred "Player X's first game as captain of Team Y was Month Day, Year", it seems to me that having some kind of reference for these specific dates is preferable to having none at all. Especially when the question of "youngest captain" is a common one in light of Toews' announced captaincy. And from Google and Yahoo searches, the answers are all over the board. Having documentation here on WP improves both its content and credibility. — MrDolomite • Talk 14:13, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Saying that those sources establish that the players assumed the captaincy at those times begs the question. All of those sources purportedly establish that these players began their captaincies on those dates. All that the sources actually do is show that their teams began their seasons on those days and in some cases that the players in question played in those games.  So, basically, we are assuming the fact that we are purportedly sourcing: that these players all assumed the captaincy on the dates in question.  The only way it makes any kind of sense to say that the source establishes that the player was captain is if you assume he was captain to begin with.  It would be like saying that citing a player's birthday (and nothing else) proves he was the youngest captain when we don't even establish that he was captain in the first place.  Croctotheface (talk) 21:54, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

 * I disagree, but whatever. However, rather than leave completely unsourced information in a section of an article which is specifically about dates, I have tagged them individually as fact.  That way as specific references are found, the dates can be WP:CITEd and the article improved. — MrDolomite • Talk 12:00, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Additional youngest captain reference
Found this Sports Illustrated article from 2000 which has additional info regarding the youngest captains. Not sure what/how much of it needs to be added to the article, but wanted to pass it along, especially as it has information from the 70s and 80s. — MrDolomite • Talk 23:27, 21 October 2008 (UTC) "Youth is serving - Tampa Bay's Lecavalier earns NHL record with captaincy", posted: Monday March 27, 2000 09:59 PM by Ryan Hunt, CNNSI.com at http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/statitudes/news/2000/03/23/lecavalier_youngcaptain/

Discussion of management selection of captains
Are the examples of management selections notable enough to be included, or do they unnecessarily elevate the importance of some particular captain selections? Isaac Lin (talk) 06:11, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Some captains are chosen by management, while others are chosen by player vote. GoodDay (talk) 15:37, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes -- but the question is if the specific examples given warrant inclusion. I am concerned it will lead to an endless list of examples. Any ideas on how to avoid this? Isaac Lin (talk) 15:40, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Perhaps they should be deleted, as I've noticed alot of citation tags on them. GoodDay (talk) 15:52, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Oops, you put those there. Perhaps you should wait for more opinons here, before you decide to delete info. GoodDay (talk) 16:04, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

 * I have moved the specific examples to a footnote, as they clutter up the main text. All that is needed in this context is references to show that captains are sometimes selected by management. Details of specific incidents are best left in the players' pages. Isaac Lin (talk) 17:25, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

 * I might consider a list instead, but a footnote is no longer necessary due to extra headers. GoldDragon (talk) 21:13, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't understand — what do you mean by "extra headers"? You have not addressed the issue of these examples being given undue importance for this article. There is really no dispute over the fact that captains have been appointed by management, and there are far too many examples to list them all within this article. Isaac Lin (talk) 03:05, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Remove this entirely. If you're going to provide examples of management selecting captain, why not also provide examples of the team voting, or the coach selecting? (Also, why is the Tortorella decision used as an example for management selecting the captain? Coaches are not part of management.) — Twas Now ( talk • contribs • e-mail ) 07:47, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * The teams do consider coaches part of management—note during the last lockout, coaches continued to be employed. (Either way, this does not alter any of the points being made in this discussion.) Isaac Lin (talk) 01:38, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

Since sources are not necessary for statements that are generally accepted and not controversial, I suggest following the proposal to remove the examples of captains selected by management. I welcome any further discussion on this subject. Isaac Lin (talk) 01:38, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

Jim Schoenfeld
Having some trouble reconciling dates for Jim Schoenfeld. From the ref I used, Gerry Meehan, the immediately previous catpain, was captain of the Buffalo Sabres until Oct. 14, 1974, though the other ref said September 1972. Still looking for more details. — MrDolomite • Talk 17:30, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Meehan was Sabres captain until 1974 (he was traded). GoodDay (talk) 15:36, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Goaltender captains
Given that other goaltenders have fulfilled the off-ice captain role without being given the title of captain by their teams, I propose making the following changes to clarify that there still has not been any new official NHL goaltender captains: Any feedback on this proposal? isaacl (talk) 04:12, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
 * In the section "Selection", remove the sentence starting with "Luongo was the first goaltender to serve as captain...", and alter the following sentence to start as follows: "Luongo has since been relieved of his off-ice captain duties..."
 * In the section "Goaltender captains", change the first sentence as follows: "In NHL history, there have been six goaltenders who served as official team captains:" Remove Luongo's name from the list.
 * Bobby Loo was named captain contrary to the NHL rules about goalie captains & alternate captains. I've no probs with your proposal. GoodDay (talk) 15:41, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
 * If there are no further comments, I will implement the proposal. isaacl (talk) 01:53, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Former practices
I believe it may be placing undue emphasis on previous ways of designating a team captain to include the information on the former Soviet Union in the article lead. I think if it is deemed sufficiently notable, it would fit better in the section "Designation on uniform". What does everyone think about (a) the notability of recounting previous practices in this article (perhaps it would fit better in articles about the former teams/leagues), and (b) if deemed sufficiently notable, moving the information to the "Designation on uniform" section? isaacl (talk) 23:39, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

Cross-sport information
Regarding this edit, I'm undecided on the notability of Messier being a captain for two championship teams belonging to different franchises. Can anyone provide citations of independent, non-promotional, and non-routine coverage from reliable sources that can establish the importance of this info? If it is notable, does it best belong in the Captain (sports) article rather than this one? isaacl (talk) 03:48, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

Nasdaq MarketSite

The Nasdaq MarketSite (or simply MarketSite) is the commercial marketing presence of the Nasdaq stock exchange. Located at Times Square in the Midtown Manhattan neighborhood of New York City, it occupies the northwest corner at the base of the 4 Times Square skyscraper.

The exterior wall of the eight-story cylindrical tower includes an LED video display that provides market quotes, financial news, and advertisements. Einhorn Yaffee Prescott designed Nasdaq MarketSite's 28500 sqft space inside, which contains two broadcast studios and originally had a second-floor exhibit called the "MarketSite Experience". MarketSite was built in 1999 and debuted on January 1, 2000.

Exterior
Nasdaq MarketSite is located at the northwest corner of 4 Times Square, facing Broadway to the west and 43rd Street to the north, along Times Square in the Midtown Manhattan neighborhood of New York City. It has an eight-story cylindrical facade. At street level is a three-story glass facade. The glass curtain wall was meant to allow clear views of the broadcast studios behind it. Above the studio, the facade consists of a giant LED display, variously cited as measuring 12000 ft2 or 14000 ft2. Measuring 120 ft high, the display was the world's largest at the time of its completion. The display is allowed because 4 Times Square is exempt from zoning rules regarding signs.

The display is made of about 8,200 or 8,400 panels manufactured by Saco Smart Vision. The panels, in turn, are powered by over 800 units behind the screen, which are similar to the size of a shoebox. The LEDs are spaced as closely as 20 mm apart. With over 18 million LEDs, the display can show information at a computer display standard of 1280x1824. The panels are 18 in thick. As designed, the sign was lit every day from 7 a.m. to 1 a.m., displaying advertisements, videos, news broadcasts, and financial and market information. Companies are identified by logos rather than their ticker symbols.

The display is interrupted by thirty square windows. The windows are arranged into five rows, which illuminate a portion of Condé Nast's space. The panels are covered with translucent coating, but water seepage from the windows can sometimes damage the display. There is a 3 ft catwalk and a ventilation space behind the display, which created an effect resembling a tunnel. At 4 Times Square's opening, Nasdaq leased the sign space from the Durst Organization for $2 million a year.

Interior
Einhorn Yaffee Prescott designed Nasdaq MarketSite's 28500 sqft space. The space had a 72-seat auditorium, a public exhibit area, and a pair of broadcast studios below the large LED sign. MarketSite's ground floor contains a broadcast studio with a wall of 96 monitors, measuring 20 ft tall and broadcasting information about stocks and the market. The wall of screens consists of seventy-two screens measuring 40 in across and twenty-four screens measuring 50 in across. Reporters could use images from multiple screens to supplement their broadcasts. The ground floor also has an arc of windows looking out onto Times Square.

The main floor of the broadcast studio has four electronically-controlled cameras; the reporters' booths in the mezzanine above the main studio have six additional cameras. The broadcast studios are illuminated by fixtures on the studio's mezzanine level, as well as fluorescent lights in the reporter's booths. Fluorescent lights were also added to the offices of major television networks within the facility. Speakers are built into the studio's video wall, and the studio itself can accommodate five live broadcasts at once. When it opened in 2000, MarketSite was also capable of displaying high-definition video, even though this was not a popular video format at the time.

An exhibit on the second floor was designed as the "MarketSite Experience", displaying items about MarketSite's history. Visitors rode an elevator from the building's lobby and entered the Information Stream Tunnel, an interactive exhibit that has video displays depicting a "flow" of data using neon lights. Afterward, a passageway sloped up to the Global Connections Theatre, where visitors watched an eight-minute short film about Nasdaq, set in various locations around the world. Visitors were then directed to the MarketSite Game Experience, which contained twelve touchscreen kiosks with an interactive stock-market game, as well as six kiosks where visitors could search Nasdaq's website. The final part of the MarketSite Experience was the "Parting Shot", which took pictures of visitors' faces and displayed them on the large LED sign.

History
The original idea for MarketSite and the data visualizations and graphics came from Enock Interactive (now Percepted) in New York City. The project was 10 years in the making prior to the Times Square launch. The initial installation of the MarketSite was in Nasdaq's former location at Whitehall Street in Lower Manhattan.

In 1998, Nasdaq leased some space for a marketing center and TV studio at 4 Times Square, which would replace its facility in Lower Manhattan. Nasdaq proposed a large sign on the northwest corner, though it did not show plans for the sign to Condé Nast, the building's flagship tenant, until January 1999. Condé Nast objected to the sign, citing a clause in its 500-page lease. According to Condé Nast, the sign would block the windows of its art department and that it protruded too far from the facade. In response, Nasdaq said the sign was within the terms of its own lease and that, in any case, Condé Nast's graphic-arts department did not need natural light. The dispute was decided in an arbitration proceeding, where an arbitrator ruled in favor of Nasdaq. The display ultimately cost $37 million and started illuminating on December 28, 1999.

Nasdaq announced a partnership with Reuters in 2006, in which companies could display advertisements across both MarketSite and the Reuters Building at 3 Times Square across the street. Advertisers could choose between splitting their advertisement across the two buildings, running the same ad across both buildings, or displaying different messages on either building.

In 2018, Nasdaq signed a 145,000 sqft lease at 4 Times Square, extending the MarketSite lease while also moving the company's global headquarters to 4 Times Square. Nasdaq expanded to 180,000 sqft at 4 Times Square in May 2019.

Donna Fargo

Donna Fargo (born Yvonne Vaughn; November 10, 1945 ) is an American country singer-songwriter known for a series of Top 10 country hits in the 1970s. These include "The Happiest Girl In The Whole U.S.A." and "Funny Face", both of which were released in 1972 and became crossover pop hits that year.

Fargo has won major awards since her debut in the late 1960s, including one Grammy Award, five awards from the Academy of Country Music and one award from the Country Music Association.

Early life
Fargo was born Yvonne Vaughn on November 10, 1945, in Mount Airy, North Carolina. She sang from her early years, but never thought about singing professionally. Fargo attended High Point College in North Carolina, then earned a degree at the University of Southern California (USC). After graduating from USC, she became a teacher at Northview High School in Covina, California, eventually progressing to head of the English Department. While still teaching, Fargo started pursuing a music career, performing in local clubs in Southern California. In 1966 she met Stan Silver who became her manager and, in 1968, her husband.

Career discovery
Vaughn soon started to appear around Los Angeles, California, while teaching. She went to Phoenix in 1966 and adopted the name Donna Fargo, which she has continued to use since. As Donna Fargo, Vaughn recorded her second single, which was also her first using her new stage name. (When she had recorded her first single, Fargo had used her real name of Yvonne Vaughn.) Her first major concert was with Ray Price, and she began playing in Southern California.

She recorded for a few small labels in the early 1960s, including Ramco and Challenge, but songs like "Who's Been Sleeping on My Side of the Bed" were not successful. Although her original singles were not successful, the Academy of Country Music Awards named her the "Top New Female Vocalist" in 1969. In 1972, Fargo recorded a single for the Decca label before achieving her breakthrough that year.

Music career
In 1972, one of Fargo's self-written and self-composed songs, "The Happiest Girl In The Whole U.S.A.", was picked up by Dot Records. Fargo was then signed to the label, and the single was released the same year. She was one of the few female country singers to write and compose her own material at the time, and one of the few country singers to cross over to the Billboard Hot 100 pop chart in a big way, which she did in 1972 with "The Happiest Girl In The Whole U.S.A." (number 11). The song peaked at No. 1 on the country music chart. An album of the same name was released following the song's success. The album was certified gold by the RIAA in early 1973, selling over 500,000 copies. The follow-up single, "Funny Face", also peaked at No. 1 on the country chart, and became a bigger pop hit than her previous single, peaking at No. 5. Both singles were certified gold by the end of the year.

Though Fargo never made the Top 40 in pop music again, she placed over a dozen more singles in the country Top Ten in the 1970s, most written by herself. Fargo's second album, My Second Album, was released in 1973, peaking at No. 1 on the Top Country Albums chart, as well as spawning the No. 1 country singles, "Superman" and "You Were Always There". The songs both charted on the pop chart. That same year, Fargo's All About Feeling, her third album, was released. The album spawned two Top 10 Country hits "Little Girl Gone" and "I'll Try a Little Bit Harder". The same year, the Grammy Awards gave Fargo the Best Female Country Vocal Performance award for "The Happiest Girl In The Whole U.S.A." She was also named "Top Female Vocalist" by the Academy of Country Music Awards.

Fargo ultimately became the fifth most successful female country artist of the 1970s, according to Billboard Magazine, behind Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, Tammy Wynette, and Lynn Anderson. For a better part of the 1970s, she rated high on the charts with songs like "It Do Feel Good", and "Mr. Doodles".

Fargo had another successful album with Dot in 1974, releasing Miss Donna Fargo, which spawned three Top 10 hits, including "You Can't Be a Beacon If Your Light Don't Shine". This song peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Country Chart. In 1975, she released Whatever I Say Means I Love You (ABC/MCA), her fifth and final album for the DOT label, that included "What Will the New Year Bring?"

Dot Records was acquired by ABC and there was a noticeable drop-off in chart placings for Fargo, and in 1976, she moved to Warner Bros. Records. Fargo came out with the On the Move album, which spawned two Top 20 hits. The next year her next album, Fargo Country was released. The album spawned her first No. 1 Country hit since 1974, "That Was Yesterday", followed by another Top 10 Country hit, "Mockingbird Hill", which peaked at No. 9 on the Billboard Country Chart in 1977. Fargo's 1978 album, Shame on Me also yielded two Top 10 hits, the title track and "Do I Love You (Yes in Every Way)", which peaked at No. 2.

Recognized as one of the leading country songwriters of the era, Fargo's songs have been recorded by Tammy Wynette, Sonny James, Kitty Wells, Tanya Tucker, Jody Miller, Marty Robbins, Dottie West and other artists. Additionally, for years she wrote almost everything that she recorded, although by the latter half of the 1970s she was also recording covers of songs from writers as diverse as Stonewall Jackson, Vaughn Horton, Bill Enis and Lawton Williams, Paul Anka, and Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil; those covers also became successful hits for Fargo.

Fargo had her own musical television show (produced by the Osmond Brothers), which ran for a year, beginning in 1978. Fargo is one of only five country female vocalists to have her own television series. Kitty Wells was the first, in 1968.

1979: multiple sclerosis
In 1978, Fargo was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. She experienced a brief illness, but with medical treatment and her husband's help, Fargo made it back to full health, returning to a more limited schedule in 1979 and another Top 10 hit. For the next few years, the successes came at a lower level. Although this serious neurological illness caused a deep decline in her promotional work, Fargo vowed not to allow the disease ultimately to get to her. In 1979, she recorded a new album, Just for You, from which the biggest hit was the No. 14 hit "Daddy", a new version of a song that Fargo had recorded in 1969. The follow-up, "Preacher Berry", peaked outside the Country Top 40.

1980 – present: current music career
Fargo released one more album with Warner Bros. in 1980 before switching to the smaller Songbird label in 1981. She recorded a well-received gospel album in 1981 for MCA/Songbird, and in 1982, she moved to RCA. Fargo singles charted off RCA in 1983 and 1984, and she recorded one album for the label in 1983. She recorded a single for Columbia in 1983, and for Cleveland records in 1984. By now, Fargo's career had begun to decline in terms of album sales and chart placements. After several other label changes, Fargo signed with Mercury, and began another upswing. She recorded an album with the label, Winners, which resulted in three singles spawned from the album, including a Top 30 hit, "Me and You". Fargo also dueted with Billy Joe Royal for her next single, "Members Only". The song became a Top 25 country hit in 1987, peaking at No. 23. In 1991, she released the song "Soldier Boy", a reference to the Gulf War which was going on at the time. The song was Fargo's last charting single. After several years without a full-length recording, in 1992, Fargo began work on her autobiography. In 2008, Fargo released a new single CD, "We Can Do Better in America". On February 4, 2022, PrimaDonna Records announced the release of Donna Fargo's new EP, "ALL BECAUSE OF YOU".

Writing career
Fargo has pursued other ventures outside of the music business, writing eight books and more than 2,000 greeting cards. She has since established a successful line of greeting cards in The Donna Fargo Collection through the Blue Mountain Arts Poets and Artists series. She released her fourth book in March 2010, entitled I Thanked God For You Today. Previously, Fargo had released another series of poetry books, including Trust in Yourself, To the Love of My Life, and Ten Golden Rules. In 2021, she published her eighth book, "Everything Is Possible with God", also with Blue Mountain Arts.
