Saw her down in Branson recently. For a lady at her age she looks great. If any of us old geezer's had a woman past 60 that looks that good we'd be so lucky.
Her first song and #1 in 1963 to boot. Then, strangely, it was downhill from there. It's tough (and lucky?) to hit #1. Amazing how many "great" artists only had one or only a few hits. You would think that if they could do it once, they could do it again and again. Must be the "luck" part.
Music like this is iconic to our age. Richland High 19 66 Fort Worth We were on the way to Vietnam, children of the 60's loving all the girls, listen to Peggy, Sherills, Beatles, Stones, Seasons, and the many other ourstanding groups. What a time to live. Daphnee Greer, I still love you Remember Mike Mclure's party 1964 Lord of Merc y. Thanks for the memeory
@coyotesong A hit record becomes an iconic memory of the era in which it was recorded. Little Peggy March had a "monster" hit with this song in 1963. This is HER song, now and forever. Two months ago I saw her in concert in Pennsylvania. While istening to her sing this song, all of the people in the audience became teenagers again and, for us, Little Peggy March was 15 again. This song belongs to 1963 and to all of the people who were alive then to enjoy it! Obviously, you weren't!!!
@kurtsupreme You said it very WELL Kurtsupreme. I've never been able really put into words what these beautiful songs mean to us. Yes, I for one agree that for 2 in Half minutes we've become teenagers again. Wow, that's what it does to us. Wow, what a feeling. We had a very good simple and innocent life in our youth. Everything seemed so much simpler and innocent.. So many great tunes. So many great times. Thanks for stickin' up for us kurtsupreme.
@greggc3po You're welcome! When I met Little Peggy March a few months ago, we had a good laugh about the people who think that this song originated in the movie, "Sister Act." I guess having to deal with people from a younger generation who weren't there to experience something is what everyone has to go through when they get older......oh, well! I guess as older and wiser people, we're supposed to understand that............it's still hard to deal with these "kids" (even WITH that knowledge!
The song is a translation of the French language tune "Chariot" recorded a year earlier by Petula Clark, which hit #1 in France and #8 in Belgium and earned Clark a gold record (Clark's Italian and German recordings of the song were also major hits).
The FABULOUS Donna Groom of the Skliners is on your left as a background singer. This young lady has done so so much in the business....you would surprised. She is a star in her own right....in Youtube type her name in the box and watch what comes up!
I love this song and Little Peggy March; however, I was disappointed to hear her perform her legendary hit in this manner. The recording was always a cha cha; however, it was the instrumental and vocal backup that provided the cha cha beat. She sang it straight on the recording holding her notes in a distinctive way that is missing here. I think that she is used to performing this song alone without the full orchestra and vocal accompaniment. I wanted it to sound like the original recording.
The lovely gal on the extreme left is Donna Groom, from the Skyliners (Since I Don't HaveYou,This I Swear). she replaced the original female after her passing ,Janet Vogel. These girls helped these songs to become immortalized. Donna has several solos on youtube....amazing voice.
She was "Little" Peggy March because she was so YOUNG, not because she was small in stature! In case you haven't noticed, many of the songs from the late fifties/early sixties were very lovesick, romantic, codependent, masochistic,and stalkerish. We used to call them "throw yourself on your bed and kill yourself" songs! As a romantic, lovesick teenager, those songs "hurt so good!!!" Romance is what is missing from today's music! In that regard, they WERE the good old days!
this magnificent version turns her original teen song into an awesome anthem..........i love her vocal styling here. she completely raises the bar 5 notches with this version. she shows she is actually a terrific singer..............very rare to see the original by the original artist done so much better the second time!
I agree johnnyrockin...she really just works with this song, makes it a torch instead of a little girl, 50s thing..though I loved that one too. and it does not look like she had work done and I love that as well.
Little Peggy March great tune
