Standing at only 4' 9", 13-year-old child prodigy Margaret Annemarie Battavio was nicknamed Little Peggy March by her record company. Within two years she'd topped the Billboard 100 in April 1963 with the single I Will Follow Him and in the process became, at the age of 15, the youngest ever artist to do so. It's a record which still stands to this day. Although I Will Follow remains her biggest selling single, March enjoyed further chart success in the States with three more top 30 hits one of which, Goodbye Love also made it into the UK Singles Chart.
