Little Peggy March - I Will Follow Him [Collectables] (CD)

All Music Guide

Chances are that this will be the only reasonably comprehensive CD of classic '60s recordings by Little Peggy March that we'll ever see, so on that basis alone, fans will have to buy it. There are a few more sophisticated tracks here ("John, John"). But generally, apart from the towering "Hello Heartache, Goodbye Love," there are no great revelations, just pleasant teen-pop, some numbers perkier ("Teasin'") than others. This is essentially the I Will Follow Him album (complete with "I Wish I Were a Princess"), augmented by the subsequent singles "Hello Heartache, Goodbye Love," "Boy Crazy" (which ought to have been used in a movie), "The Impossible Happened," her last hit, "(I'm Watching) Every Move You Make," and her very first, failed single, the novelty-like "Little Me." All of these bonus cuts, except a rather flat "Pagan Love Song," are worthwhile.
