    This was one my favorite songs to sing along with in my youth (I'm 72 now). BUT, the original Paul and Paula intensely disliked each other, although I think it was more Paula that couldn't stand Paul. As I remember, they weren't very far into their first record tour when the original Paula walked away. Another Paula was located. but that was it for the duo. They were one-hit wonders. I don't believe the girl on the video was the original, but it might have been. Pause a few times and look at her eyes. No love-light there!

      Ray Hildebrand (Paul) and Jill Jackson (Paula) were the original Paul and Paula. They recorded Hey Paula and released it on LeCam Records under the names Jill and Ray. After the recording was picked up by Phillips Records it was suggested they change their names to Paul and Paula. I don't believe there was any "intense dislike" by Ray or Jill. On one particular tour, Ray did walk out on Jill and Dick Clark had to fill in for Ray to complete the tour. Ray couldn't handle the success and wanted to go back to school. That is the original "Paula" in the video. They were not one-hit wonders:...Hey Paula; Young Lovers; Something Old, Something New; Flipped Over You; First Quarrel; First Day Back At School; We Two Forever Shall Be One; We'll Never Break Up For Good; Holiday Hootenanny. Although some of their singles did not make it as far up the charts as Hey Paula, (due to the British Invasion), they were still successful. Three albums: Paul and Paula Sing For Young Lovers; We Go Together; and Holiday For Teens. After the duo disbanded, Ray went on to a successful gospel recording career. (check out rayhildebrand.com). Jill attempted a solo career. (love her version of Born Too Late).You can see various videos of the duo on TH-cam. At one point, Jill married their producer.
