Biography
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. Her style found favour with European and Asian audiences and in 1969 March, along with husband and manager Arnie Harris, moved to Germany where the singer enjoyed a number of German language hits. It was a run of success which lasted until the late 1970s and included two runner up results in her bid to represent Germany in the Eurovision Song Contest. The 1979 album Electrifying was an abortive flirtation with disco but its lack of success prompted March's record company to drop her and the singer moved back to the US. She remains active in the music business and in 2010 recorded a new album Always And Forever, her first English language recording for over 30 years.
