Free Music Review: Better Than Collectables In Terms Of Sound - But Not Content
Hit: 4 Stars
I agree with those observations that put this Taragon release ahead of the Collectables one when it comes to sound quality - but not by any significant degree and at least the other one did provide a few B-sides to her five hit singles. This provides just one.
When Peggy March [born Margaret Battavio] burst onto the charts in 1963 with an adaption of the French song Chariot, she had just turned 15, making her the youngest female singer to have a # 1 Billboard Pop Hot 100 - a record she holds to this day. Not only that, but I Will Follow Him also went # 1 on the R&B charts b/w Wind-Up Doll, both around May 1963. Whether she was the youngest to hold that honour where the R&B charts are concerned is not clear.
Unfortunately, everything else she did paled by comparison. That June her second release for RCA Victor, I Wish I Were A Princess, topped out at # 32 Hot 100 b/w My Teenage Castle (Is Tumblin' Down), and in October Hello Heartache, Goodbye Love reached # 26 Hot 100 b/w Boy Crazy [included here]. She then closed out 1963 with a # 57 Hot 100 for The Impossible Happened, which had Waterfall as the flipside. Her final hit came early in 1964 when (I'm Watching) Every Little Move You Make, penned by Paul Anka, stalled at # 84 Hot 100 b/w After You.
On each release she was billed as Little Peggy March and was backed on all her hits by the Sammy Lowe orchestra. This is a nice Peggy March compilation which could have been a 5-star collection with just the addition of those missing B-sides and the deletion of the Japanese version of her big hit and some of those failed singles (which did not succeed for good reason). It didn't help, either, that she was sailing into a wind known as The British Invasion by 1964.
