"I Will Follow Him" is a song recorded by Little Peggy March.

It is a translation of the French language tune "Chariot" recorded a year earlier by Petula Clark, which hit #1 in France and #8 in Belgium and earned Clark a gold record [1]. (Clark's Italian and German recordings of the song also were major hits.)

March's English version, backed with "Wind Up Doll", was released by RCA Victor and hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 on April 27, 1963, making 15-year-old March the youngest female artist to have a US chart-topping single.

The song was featured in the 1992 movie Sister Act. A disco arrangement of the song was recorded by Claudja Barry. Moreover, José Hoebee, a Dutch pop singer, recorded a cover version of this standard which reached the first position on the Dutch^[1] and Belgian singles charts in 1982.

In 1982, Norwegian comedy trio KLM made a popular remake of this song called "Torsken kommer" ("Here comes the cod fish" in English).
