details
Donna Ramsay was born in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, the daughter of Canadian Hall Of Fame radio broadcaster Don Ramsay. Thanks to her father she began singing as a young child and meeting many of the top stars of country music while on their Canadian tours. As a teenager she was already making guest appearances on various TV shows including The Gary Buck Show taped at studios in Kitchener, Ontario. Gary Buck recognized the potential in the young singer and brought her into the recording studio to record her debut album "Cool Green Waters" released on Capitol Records (ST-6346) in 1969. The album yielded three charted singles including the Top 10 hits "Bittersweet" and "Cool Green Waters".
In 1973 Gary Buck produced a follow-up album, "The World Needs A Melody", for Ramsay and released on his own Arpeggio Records label (ARPS-10005), with the Shirley Eikhard-penned single "I'll Be A Rover" reaching the hit charts. Donna Ramsay would continue to record with Gary Buck producing, and in 1976 released the Broadland Records singles "The Familiar Old Way" (BR-2185) and "Before You Say Goodbye" (BR-2216), both earning chart action.
