Happy # 84 Jill Jackson (Paul & Paula)


"Hey Paula" was one of the greatest "teen love" pop songs ever recorded. 

They were Ray Hilderbrand and Jill Jackson who met in college in Brownwood, TX.    

Ray was born in Joshua, TX, on December 12, 1940 and died in 2023.   Jill was born in McCarney, TX, on May 20, 1940.

Eventually, they recorded the song and it was #1 in the US for the entire month of February 1963......a real pop classic! 

They broke up a few years later and went on their separate ways.  However, they do get together once in a while to sing "Hey Paula".
