  • This song and video can be found in quite an abundance throughout the You Tube playlists. It is such a powerfully enticing melody and so I felt it mandatory to add to Great Performers.
    Songwriter, Ray Hildebrand was Paul. "Paula" was Jill Jackson, the niece of the owner of the boarding house where Ray lived at the time. This 1963 song had simple words and a lingering melody however, it was one of those melodies that just 'stayed with you'; so much so that it practically topped every music chart in early 1963.

    I am Paul and my wife was Paula. We were married on Sept. 18, 1971. Paula died on January 17, 2021, eight months before our 50th anniversary from complication of Multiple Sclerosis. "Hey Paula" was one of our favorite songs and invariably, whenever we were introduced to new friends, this song would be their first association with Paula and myself. We had a fairy tail romance for five decades in spite of the MS because Paula had a magical personality full of joy, love, humor, optimism, and hope. She was a high school teacher beloved by all of her students who invited her to every reunion, wedding, graduation, and banquet. We had true love. Moreover she was truly loved by everyone who knew her and we all miss her and will love her in our hearts and souls forever.

She would always tell me to turn it off or she was going to tell on me. Years later we laughed ourselves silly with this memory. I miss her so very much ….she passed away in 2020 from pancreatic cancer.

    I was just a 19 year old Army soldier waiting to board a troop ship going to Korea., from Cal when I first heard this song. I can remember lying in my bunk at night listening to it on a little transistor radio. Wow, what a beautiful song, but a heart breaker for a guy who recently lost his High School girlfriend after leaving for the Army.

      *+dabprod* _"[...] but a heart breaker for a guy who recently lost his High School girlfriend after leaving for the Army."_
      Dude, I can easily understand your feelings! Me, I went overseas after my associate's degree. That had been planned for years, and my girlfriend had been knowing that since our first date. When I had made my exam, she had finished high school and also wanted to go to college. Nevertheless, even that breaking up was very hard though it had been planned for about two years---from the beginning we both had been knowing exactly the date of our definitely last date!
      Some two years later I came back to study medicine, but she was gone. Her mother only told me, she had emigrated to Argentina just some days before I returned.
      Btw, during those two years I had been a soldier, too---a Guardsman of the Washington Army National Guard, and "cause of my junior college degree and the opportunity "Accelerated OCS" even a 2LT...

They always resonated with me on a deep level as if I was not a 90’s kid but a teenager in the time of this music. I feel it with every fiber of my being and hear it with more than my ears. I also enjoy classic movies, even black and white. I’m an old soul and I love that God made me this way.

The true love, morality, civility, and self control we had back then. We were classy, and decent. And it showed in how we treated each other. And how we carried ourselves. We are now a nasty, selfish, vulgar society. Irreversibly damaged by evil. Goodbye America.

    Ray Hildebrand was 82 when he died on Fri. Aug. 18, 2023. He was 22 when this classic love ballad made that year that much more memorable in the pop music scene, now just over 60 years ago! #1 for the first week ending Feb. 9, 1963, and for 3 consecutive weeks. Also #1 on the R&B chart. #1 on the Canadian CHUM chart for 3 consecutive weeks. One of the year's highlight songs. "Paula" was Jill Jackson, the niece of the owner of the boarding house where Ray lived. Ray wrote the song, taking inspiration from Annette Funicello's 1959 hit, "Tall Paul" her highest-charting hit, at #7. The song was again popularized in the movie, "Animal House" (1978), set in 1962/63 when Boon (Peter Riegert) and Katy (Karen Allen) sang it to each other while high. Eric Forman (Topher Grace) sang the song to his girlfriend Donna Pinciotti (Laura Prepon) during a friend's party in "That 70s Show." A timeless classic. R.I.P., Ray Hidlebrand, 82 (Dec. 21, 1940 - Aug. 18, 2023). Jill Jackson survives him, (b. May 20, 1942), now 81.

It makes me remember my brother driving around in his 1956 Buick convertible with his arm around his girlfriend while this song played on the radio. (It was their song.) I was the little sister in the back seat ruining the moment by singing along. R.I.P. to Ray.

    A great song from a time when our country was a lot more innocent. I don't remember when it was a hit but nonetheless have always like it a lot. I read that the song's composer Ray Hilderbrand passed away today and is also the lead singer on the song. So I came to listen to this golden oldie and pay my respects to him.

    Came across this by chance. Makes me feel so emotional. Think it is the innocence and senserity of both of them. The woman that got him is very lucky I'm sure. He would make a wonderful husband.
