Some background information: Paul Mauriat was born in 1925 in France, he formed his own band as a teenager during World War II, and gained employment with renowned French singer Charles Aznavour, working as an arranger and conductor.

Also arranging for other artists, he started recording instrumental albums of his own in the early 1960s.

Around that time, he also found his greatest international success that he’d experienced up to that point as a co-writer of the song “Chariot,” which became a hit for Petula Clark (then often recording in the French language) in several countries.

One country where it didn’t find success, however, was the United States, where the song was translated into English for another singer to record for the American market. Under the title “I Will Follow Him,” the tune got to #1 for Little Peggy March in the States in 1963.
