Peggy March – I Will Follow Him
An evening pause: This live television performance from sometime in the 1960s, and was almost certainly performed by lip-sync to the recorded album. That audio for this video has been remastered.
Hat tip Tom Biggar.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News
One of my favorite oldies. Thanks.
A great song from the 60’s! Awesome to see the performer on crappy 1960’s technology video…lends a certain authenticity to it. Most on-air performances were lip-synched, e.g. American Bandstand. I moan the demise of live or lip-synched performances on TV today. I was pleased to have enjoyed late night “In Concert” and “Saturday Night Special” broadcasts of the early 70’s! A teenaged guy then could never afford to attend concerts like that without being independently wealth! Networks could have never done it if the artists were commanding the $$$$ they are making today. One episode of “In Concert” would cost ABC billions today.
Also…it is refreshing to see a somewhat refreshing normal-appearing performer singing about an innocent kind of love and commitment that we no longer have. Now we a subjected to threats of violence, abuse and rape in a thoroughly disgusting venue.

Probably denounced as a stalker.
