Peggy March

Peggy March is one of those names that deserves way more recognition than she gets in her home country — here's a Pennsylvania girl who at just 15 years old scored a genuine million-seller with "I Will Follow Him" in 1963, becoming the youngest solo artist to hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 at the time. That record alone should cement her place in pop history. But what I find genuinely fascinating is how her story didn't end there — while America moved on, Europe, and especially Germany, kept embracing her for decades, turning her into a bona fide continental star through the 1970s. She even picked up a Goldene Stimmgabel award in 1993, proof that her staying power overseas was real and lasting. There's something quietly remarkable about an artist who found a second homeland through her music.
