"I Will Follow Him" is a popular song that was first recorded in 1961 by Franck Pourcel, as an instrumental titled "Chariot". The song achieved its widest success when it was recorded by American singer Little Peggy March with English lyrics in 1963. The music was written by Franck Pourcel (using the pseudonym J.W. Stole) and Paul Mauriat (using the pseudonym Del Roma). It was adapted by Arthur Altman. The completely new English lyrics were written by Norman Gimbel.

Haven’t heard Peggy’s version of the song in quite a while. It’s the version I used to listen to on my record player when I was a kid in the ‘60s (almost 70 now).

So great to hear and see this ... music from my childhood! Her voice is so strong and beautiful. The next year ... the Beatles ... and then the British Invasion that changed everything! Thank you so much for your hard work bringing this to life again! God bless you.

❤I fell in love with this song the very first time I heard it. I love it still and I am 70. It represents how I feel about my husband of fifty years. Who by the way I fell in love with at the moment I first saw him. Wonderful song.
