Trivia

Best known for her hit song "I Will Follow Him", which topped the American pop charts in April 1963; she was only 15 at the time, and was known as "Little Peggy March".

Has one child, a daughter Sande (born 1974)

Moved to Germany with her husband in 1969 where she began a successful, multilingual recording/performing career.

Her stage name is a combination of the fact that shes only 410" tall ("Little"), her nickname ("Peggy") and the month she was born in ("March").

Her signature tune, "I Will Follow Him", is actually a cover song. It was composed by French conductors Franck Pourcel and Paul Mauriat , and first recorded as an instrumental by Pourcel under the title "Chariot", in 1961. The first vocal version was by Petula Clark , done in French. It was then translated into English and recorded by Miss March, and became a number one hit. In 1976, Pourcels co-writer, Paul Mauriat , recorded a disco instrumental of the song, under the original "Chariot" title.
