Margo Smith (b. Betty Lou Miller April 9, 1942 in Dayton, Ohio) is an American Country Music Singer. In the 1970s, 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".
However, in the late '70s, after releasing 1979's A Woman album, Smith's image underwent a metamorphosis, wearing much riskier clothing, and recording much riskier material, like 1979's Top 10 Country hit, "Still a Woman". She began posing seductively on her album covers and openly spoke of sex on interviews. However, only a couple years later, Smith would later revert back to her previous "girl-next-door" image.
