Peggy March
Peggy March (born Margaret
Annemarie Battavio, March 8, 1948,Lansdale, Pennsylvania)[1] is an American pop singer. She is primarily known for her 1963 million-selling song "I Will Follow Him".[2]
She was discovered at age thirteen singing at
her cousin's wedding[2] and was introduced to the record producer partnership Hugo & Luigi. They gave her the nickname Little Peggy March because she was only 4 ft
9 in (1.45 m) tall, she was only 13, the record she
did with them was "Little Me,"
and her birthday was in March.[3]
On April 24, 1963,[4] her single "I Will Follow Him" soared to number one on
theU.S. charts.[1] She recorded the song in early January 1963 and it was
released on January 22, when she was only 14.[1] March became the youngest female artist with a number one
hit, at 15, in late April 1963, a record that still stands for the Billboard Hot 100. The recording also reached number one
inAustralia, New Zealand, South Africa, Japan,
and Scandinavia. It was a translation of the
French song "Chariot" recorded a year earlier by Petula Clark.[1]
