They called her Little Peggy March, but there was nothing little about her voice or this sensational smash hit:

Little peggy march (1963 original Live) - I will follow him

It proved so popular overseas that Peggy also recorded a Japanese version. Evidently she nailed the pronunciation and it was a huge hit on the Japanese charts:

12 LITTLE PEGGY - I WILL FOLLOW HIM

Lulu .. I love this tune ...

LULU: "To Sir With Love"

[Hepcat]

To Sir With Love was a sixties classic! Now here's Nancy with another one:

Nancy Sinatra - These Boots Are Made for Walkin'

[Allhallowsday]

Amy Winehouse .. r.i.p.

Amy Winehouse - Rehab

Amy Winehouse - Back To Black

AMY WINEHOUSE' death was a tremendous loss.  Her first album was great.  Her followup is the type of record any and every artist dreams about releasing... a masterpiece.  Nice selections on the YouTubes, too.

Yes, it was very sad about Amy Winehouse and how everyone watched the 'train wreck' happening but were unable to stop it.

I've seen and been impressed by Germaine Bazzle at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival .. see her if you get a chance ...

I stole this write up from ALL MUSIC

Artist Biography by Michael G. Nastos
One of the true legends of New Orleans jazz, Germaine Potter Bazzle has been under-recognized nationally and internationally through her entire career. On par with R&B queen Irma Thomas, her voice in jazz is as distinctive as any, with a sweet soul to match. Her exploits singing in the Seventh Ward are unmatched, but she has been known primarily as a teacher. Influenced by the greats like Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, and Billy Eckstein, she took on a repertoire of classic jazz, American popular songs, show tunes, and the music of Duke Ellington. Sounds of the church were never far behind, and she sang regularly on Sundays with the Saint Louis Catholic Choir. A graduate of Xavier University, Bazzle chose to stay at home, instructing mostly young girls in choir and music appreciation at Xavier Prep. Her limited discography has her included on the compilation New New Orleans Music: Vocal Jazz and her live document, Standing Ovation. In 2007 she was part of the faculty at the Louis Armstrong Jazz Camp, along with other Crescent City music icons, in particular Edward "Kidd" Jordan."

Better sound here but no video:

Many radio stations in the States refused to air this track because of its cutting edge social commentary.
