Back we go to #1 records from the spring of 1963 with one that was originally an instrumental titled “Chariot” with lyrics added later. Petula Clark had a hit all over Europe as she recorded versions in French, German and Italian. Little Peggy March released the song later in the US as “I Will Follow Him” and the 15-year-old succeeded Brenda Lee as the youngest female with a #1 record. Peggy had considerable success in Europe into the 1970’s. It was originally co-written by Paul Mauriat, who had a #1 instrumental in 1968 with “Love Is Blue.”
