April 27 1963 At 15 years, 1 month and 13 days old, Little Peggy March became the youngest female singer to have a #1 record in the US when "I Will Follow Him" reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100. The record would remain in the top spot for three consecutive weeks and also went to the lead position on the R&B chart. In later years it was reported that, despite the success of the single, she only ended up pocketing about $500 due to questionable management. | Rockabilly Italia
