She was discovered at age thirteen singing at a wedding and was introduced to the record producer duo Hugo & Luigi. They gave her the nickname Little Peggy March because of her 4'10" height, the fact that she was thirteen, the first record she did with them was "Little Me", and her birthdate was in March.

In April 1963, her single "I Will Follow Him" had soared to number one on U.S. charts. Recorded in early January 1963 and released January 22 of that year, it made Peggy March the youngest female singer with a number one hit at age fifteen. The record also took the number one spot in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and Scandinavia.

Her success also came with financial trouble. March was a minor and the Coogan Law prevented her parents from managing her money. The responsibility was placed on her manager, Russell Smith. It was discovered in 1966 that he had squandered the fortune away, leaving her with $500. Peggy graduated from Lansdale Catholic High School in 1966. She soon had a new manager, Arnie Harris, who became her husband and gave her one daughter, Sande, born in 1974.

Though she is remembered by some as a one-hit wonder, her singles "I Wish I Were a Princess" and "Hello Heartache, Goodbye Love" made the Top 30 in the United States and the United Kingdom. She began making a very strong presence in the European and Asian music markets, and she moved to Germany around 1969. Her commercial success in Germany continued through much of the 1970s. In 1979 she experimented with disco on the album, Electrifying, but it failed to achieve commercial success. By 1981 record companies did not renew her contracts, and she moved back to the United States. A retro fad in Germany brought her some continuing success starting in the mid-1990s. Her song "I Will Follow Him" largely inspired the beat in the Eminem and Dr. Dre song Guilty Conscience, and was also featured in the 1992 movie Sister Act. Currently she works largely in the Las Vegas music scene.

Wir, wir beide sind nicht Romeo und Julia
Die beiden, die man vom Theater kennt
Wir, wir beide sind nicht Romeo und Julia
Bei uns gibt es bestimmt ein Happy End

Wir, wir zwei sind keine Kinder von Herrn Shakespeare
Wir werden alle Sorgen überstehen
Komm, komm her zu mir, mein Darling, überleg's dir

Wann wir Verlobungsringe kaufen gehen

Die Leute in unserer Straße, sie reden von dir und mir
Wenn wir uns verliebt umarmen vor der Tür
Die Leute, sie werden denken, „die kriegen sich nie, die zwei“
Doch ich weiß, das geht im Leben nie vorbei

Wir, wir beide sind nicht Romeo und Julia
Und sind auch nicht zu Hause in Florenz
Wir, wir beide machen Romeo und Julia
In Puncto Tränen keine Konkurrenz
Wir, wir sehen Blumen blühen an allen Wegen
Für uns ist diese Welt so wunderschön
Wir, wir haben Eltern, die sind nicht dagegen
Dass wir uns siebenmal die Woche sehen

Wir, wir beide sind nicht Romeo und Julia
Die beiden, die man vom Theater kennt

Wir, wir beide sind nicht Romeo und Julia
Bei uns gibt es bestimmt ein Happy End

The song “Romeo & Julia” by Peggy March is an uplifting song about the love between two people that is not doomed to end in tragedy as the story of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. The song starts with the lyrics “We, we are not Romeo and Juliet, the two we know from the theater” which is a nod to the classic tale of impossible love. Peggy March then goes on to say, “We two are not children of Shakespeare” which means that, unlike the famous characters, they are not bound by the limitations of the play.

The song speaks about the positive side of their love. They are not restricted by society or culture, as their parents are not against their relationship. They are free to express their love in the open, without fear of repercussions. In the second verse, Peggy March sings about the people in their street who talk about them, but she doesn’t care because they are in love and they know it. She says, “The people, they will think, ‘they will never get together, those two,’ but I know that will never be true.”

Overall, “Romeo & Julia” is a declaration of eternal love and overcoming any obstacles that may come their way. The song is a testament to the fact that not all love stories have to end tragically.
