History 101: April 27, 1956: At age 32 heavyweight boxing champion Rocky Marciano retired undefeated, the only heavyweight champ with a perfect record. Unbeaten in 49 pro fights.

Music History 101: Actress Barbara Bach got married on this date in 1981 – she married Ringo Starr.

101 number one song of the day was a big hit for a very little person. That would become a major point of controversy.  Margaret Battavio was born in Lansdale Pennsylvania just 15 years, one month and 13 days before her song reached number one. She remembers being at home doing the dishes and listening to New York’s WABC radio’s nightly countdown when she heard the record you’re about to hear landed at the top. She and her family were ecstatic. However, one thing that Margaret was NOT terribly pleased about was the name the record company execs gave her. It wasn’t the new last name on the record label that bothered her. But at 4’10” tall she was very sensitive about her height but they insisted that she be called “little” – here’s the biggest song in America on April 27^th 1963 for Little Peggy March and the song is “I Will Follow Him.”
