Paul and Paula say Hey, Hey Tom
Ray Hildebrand ("Paul") and jill Jackson Landon ("Paula") were college friends. They sang together occasionally. Jill had her own 15 minute radio program on KEAN radio in Brownwood, Texas, where they both attended Howard Payne University. As a favor to a friend, Ray wrote a song that his friend Russell could give to Russell's girlfriend Paula. Ray told Jill about the song and she invited Ray to sing the song with her on Jill's radio program. They sang the song and it was tape recorded by disc jockey Riney Jordan, who replayed it the following day. The listeners called the station, requesting more air play. Jill's parents took them to a radio station in Ft. Worth on October 6, 1962. As Jill and Ray tell Tom, it became a no. 1 hit for most of February, 1963 and their path through rock 'n' roll history became paved in vinyl.

Yes, this is a TrueType a romantic song. Brings back so many memories. I was 12 yrs. old and a “tween”
Beautiful voices. I'm a 60s girl
Love this song. Sad to hear that they are not really called Paul and Paula.
Thanks! This is the best thing I've seen in a while. Y'all are wonderful (but you know you'll always be Paul & Paula to most of us).
Jill is a absolute Babe her voice made that song extra special 😘

It is amazing to see this couple at this age and knowing how great they sounded in their younger years. i love that song. that one was always my favorite song.grew up singing it in the sixties .
There’s no way I could meet anyone named Paula & not think of this song’s opening line (hi Paula S if you’re reading this 😘). I’ve enjoyed this classic since its inception, & love it even more today. Watching this interview & especially their live performance at the end went straight to my heartstrings. Thanks for sharing . God bless Jill & Ray❤️

My name is also Paul.. funny thing is I've actually never cared for my name as I have always felt it was kinda boring and bland.. that all changed when Jill (Paula) sang my name.. Love it.. you make my heart beat fast Jill.. God Bless you both
USArmy Ft Lewis, Wa. Listening to the radio, heard it and went straight to town to buy it.

Hey tom did anyone get an interview with the late buddy holly widow or ritchie valen girlfriend donna or his family
הצמד הענק פול ופולה. על כל הלהיטים הענקים שלהם. שגם הביטלס העריצו אותם ככל המעריצים שבעולם.
She " is so cute 😍 !"
Hay y'all is Jill Jackson Landon still alive
Does anyone know why the first Paul, Ray Hildebrand left the tour? I always wondered what happened to him
Was 5% on all sales a normal rate for payment of all records sold? How much was a record in those days?
I was 8 yrs old an was in love with girl in grade 3 and her name was lorriane and i got in trouble at school and was in the princal office and the police told me have to take another way home after school in Windsor Ontario
So some one else got rich off their hit song!?!? SMH
