Villager Margo Smith and daughter Holly Watson, known as the model/spokesperson for Lexus of Orlando, will perform Sunday evening at Fairway Christian Church in The Villages.
The concert will begin at 6 p.m. There is no admission fee and the event is open to all who wish to attend.
“A love offering will be taken to raise money for food for hungry children,” said Smith, a resident of the Village of Chatham.
Smith rose to fame in Nashville as the “Tennessee Yodeler” in the 1970s and 1980s.
Smith practiced yodeling as a child and that became embedded in her a unique style. She was also a kindergarten teacher who used a ukulele to tame rambunctious children. She had a husband and two children when she decided to try her luck in Music City.
You can see mother and daughter talking about the singer’s gamble in a 2013 interview just before another concert at Fairway Christian Church:
Her gamble paid off and with her first album in 1975, she scored a top-10 hit with “There I Said It.”
