So sweet and innocent. I remember seeing them in person sometime after this was released. How much music has changed can easily be seen by our loss of innocence. Those were great days.
I loved that song. Paula's voice was the epitome of sweet, lovely, beautiful, all of that and more. Paul wrote the song and had a wonderful voice himself and the words were pure romantic puppy love blossoming. I was in junior high when it came out and even thought I knew back then that I was gay, I loved the love it represented.
I was 13 when this came out and I remember wanting that kind of love in my life when I grew up and I found it and our marriage has lasted 47 years! Love like this can still happen!

Think I had this on vinyl. Great song. I remember hearing it on the radio way back when. I used to know all the words to this. I think i still do. Great voices, especially Paula's. 👌
This song takes me back to my youth like no other. I was very shy and the first time I danced was to this song. I had a big crush on this girl in my class and when this song played, it gave me the courage to ask her to dance.
this was way back in 1963 on the top 10 chart then, they were just 22 at the time. They pretended to be best friends for selling the record and going on tour. they were on the American Band Stand and made good money, he went back home married and she did some touring and schooling. was a great song.
Family story: my parents had a son, then 6 daughters in a row. Dad’s name, Paul. When he heard the sixth girl had been born, he said, Name her Paula and call it quits. This was their song. She sat on his lap as he sang it to her. Thanks for the memories.
@Shawn and Mel...You guys are the best!...and always make me feel good with your insightful and genuine reactions to such a wide variety of great songs. I wish you could bottle the joy you express and apply it to the currently politically divided America.
I love to see young people react to these songs. I'm only 40. But when I was a kid in 90s I listened to all these old songs with my mother on the oldies station. You guys just gained a sub!
and they kept their voices too, i heard them singing this when they must've been in their 60's or more and they still sounded amazing. Paul's real name is Ray Hildebrand and Paula's real name is Jill Jackson.
I heard Ray sing that song with a band that we had at our District Lions Club convention in Hunt Valley MD on 8/13/2022. It was great to hear him sing that again, still a very nice voice.
From what I've read they never dated and each married other people. However they did remain friends at least into the early 2000's. One thing about music from the 50's (60's and 70's too)...you had to be able to sing. Unlike today, back then, people could really sing.
We really were different back then; far simpler, far safer, & far more trusting. We didn't have computers, smart phones, social media , internet, ect. , all both good & bad. Some things were VERY wrong in our country-------yet, it was a time so much safer . I miss it terribly. -------MJL< 75 y/o
I was 11 when this came out and I thought it was a good song and I started to think about girls I met my wife at 17 and married at 18 and we are going on 52 years now and I love her more than ever ! You two are in love too it is easy to see ! One of our songs was love is all around by the troggs
Never heard this before so great but my friend back in school had a car she called Paula and she would get in it and say hey hey paula lol good stuff❤✌
Roller skating days, 1963. The Dj played this Beautiful song on a slow dance. One of my all time favorite song. The music was amazing!..You had great artist like Dean Martin, Bobby Venton, Johnny Rivers, Barbara Lewis( Baby I'm yours), Brenda Lee... There are to many to list! . My favorite male artist is Gene Pitney( Amazing talent).
I the end you said I wish we could sing to each other like that... but you do, I hear the love you have for each other every time you talk, it's as beautiful as singing. You two rock! Peace from Northern. Michigan..
Paul & Paula (their real names were Ray Hildebrand & Jill Jackson) are a former American pop singing duo, best known for their 1963 million selling number one hit record, "Hey Paula". They had a few follow up hits called "Young Lovers" & "Dear Paula".
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!
That's not true. There was only one set of Paul and Paula, and they remained friends over the years, they would occasionally perform together as well, here they are in 2015: ruclips.net/video/z9q1FFifml0/видео.html
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 RUclips. At one point, Jill married their producer.
I was 6 years old when this came out in 1963 too young at the time to know the meaning of the words and it wasn't until I heard it on a oldies radio show in the mid 70's when I remember hearing it and how beautiful this song and it just touches your heart to hear those words of true love they expressed to one another , we sure could use songs expressing love like this today , we truly need it in these troubled times !

Such a simple time. Wish I could turn the clock back and live it again.
So sweet and innocent. I remember seeing them in person sometime after this was released. How much music has changed can easily be seen by our loss of innocence. Those were great days.
They are brother and sister believe it or not.thats why sounds so great.
@@RobertSmith-iw2kb Ray Hildebrand and Jill Jackson were never brother and sister.
@@helgar791 thanks I was thinking of someone else.
@@RobertSmith-iw2kb Nino Tempo and April Stevens who did a cover of the song "Deep Purple" were brother and sister.
@@helgar791 oh,that was a nice, cover .I knew it was someone else,getting old. Thanks.
I was born in 1965 and I was named after this song 💜
Ja urodziłam się 10 lat wcześniej 😅 nie mam na imię Paula, ale pokochałam tę piosenkę ❤ Pozdrawiam Cię bardzo serdecznie z Polski ⚘️🍀⚘️🍀⚘️
They tell you what true love is I know I have followed their advice since I got married. I have been married to my sweet wife for 61 years.
One of the greatest love songs ever
thank you for playing this one. Her voice made the hair stand up on my neck
I loved that song. Paula's voice was the epitome of sweet, lovely, beautiful, all of that and more.

I love the sweet, romantic songs of my childhood. Thanks for reacting to great old music.

They were supposed to perform live on American Banstand on November 22nd 1963, but as you can guess, it was rescheduled.
Great choice! Along this line is "Deep Purple" by Nino Tempo & April Stevens
I was named after this song lol! Thank God for Paul and Paula or they'd be calling me Daphne Kay today! 🤣🤣🤣
Not if your Dad's name is Paul lol
This song is very lovely! Ah, innocent love ❤️So sweet!
I still have this song on a 45 record. Loved this song!
One of my favorite couples were Peaches and Herb in 1967. Let's fall in love and Close your eyes. Beautiful love songs!😍
A song somewhat similar in style is a swamp-pop song by Dale And Grace - I'm Leaving It All Up To You.
This song takes me back to my youth like no other. I was very shy and the first time
I danced was to this song. I had a big crush on this girl in my class and when this

Brings back memories back then of school dances and hearing this hit and romantic song and those smooth voices.
They had an interview a few years ago they said they was never involved with each other they were just friends
Thank you so much for playing this song ♥️
Sounds of angels making love, true hearts and true love.
She owned this song!!!
So lovely.
I was 15 when this came out. Perfect dreamy song for a boy-crazy teen to imagine dating her favorite guy.
I always got a kick out of this one, it felt like she was singing to me every time I heard her sweet voice!
Hey Hey, Mel. I've been waiting for you.
Hey Hey Shawn, I've been waiting for you, too.
True love means being together, through all of the years.
Family story: my parents had a son, then 6 daughters in a row. Dad’s name, Paul. When he heard the sixth girl had been born, he said, Name her Paula and call it quits. This was their song. She sat on his lap as he sang it to her. Thanks for the memories.
Kocham tę piosenkę całym sercem 😂 Pozdrawiam serdecznie z Polski 😊 Walentyna 🍀
One of the biggest songs from 1963. It was number 1 for many weeks. I haven't heard this song in many years.
One of the best duets ever!
This was one of the few singles my mother had when we were growing up. Loved it then as I do now.
Awe I love this song brings back memories ❤️
Brilliant song 👌
Yes! Yes! Yes! Such a sweetheart song.
I can't believe your songs you react to, they are my favorites. Please react to The Fleetwoods singing, Come Softly to Me.
@Shawn and Mel...You guys are the best!...and always make me feel good with your insightful and genuine reactions to such a wide variety of great songs. I wish you could bottle the joy you express and apply it to the currently politically divided America.
Of course I love that song. Beautiful
Not if your Dad's name is Paul.
Love this song, so great. :)
Gigantic hit song by a real life couple. Saw them live too
I remember this song form my youth. This is the song that you two remind me of.
I love to see young people react to these songs. I'm only 40. But when I was a kid in 90s I listened to all these old songs with my mother on the oldies station. You guys just gained a sub!

I heard Ray sing that song with a band that we had at our District Lions Club convention in Hunt Valley MD on 8/13/2022. It was great to hear him sing that again, still a very nice voice.
Loved this song when it came out, but honestly, every time I heard it, reminded me of music played at ice skating rinks.😂
They just sound so beautifully dreamy. I always get goosebumps when I listen to this. I love seeing you both enjoying their song too.❤
Video on youtube of them singing this again just a few years ago & they've still got it
actually I heard that Paul walked away, and Dick Clark had to sing with Paula on tour. The video is not the Original Paul. He is on the Album cover.
My dad had their album with this song on it. And a mixed couple at that in 1967 waààay beyond their time.
Isn’t that just the sweetest song, and performance? I was probably grown before I heard it, or a big kid, anyway because it came out in the 60s.
She is an earth angel! Stunningly amazing! I’m speechless, lost for words!
I also loved Cher and hubby singing ‘ I got you babe’
Songs like this just make you smile.
Beautiful song. Her voice ALWAYS MELTS ME. SMOOOOTH. ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITES
Wow the talent back then!
Debbie Reynolds is a wonderful singer and actress her song Tammy's in love is a must ....please please
We’re they in their 20’s when this came out? They look so mature mind you I suppose in those days everybody did. Never seen a visual of them before.
From what I've read they never dated and each married other people. However they did remain friends at least into the early 2000's. One thing about music from the 50's (60's and 70's too)...you had to be able to sing. Unlike today, back then, people could really sing.
We really were different back then; far simpler, far safer, & far more trusting. We didn't have computers, smart phones, social media , internet, ect. , all both good & bad. Some things were VERY wrong in our country-------yet, it was a time so much safer . I miss it terribly. -------MJL< 75 y/o
Thank you for reacting to good music. It’s been so wonderful to hear the music of my childhood again. Keep up the great work you’re doing!
I loved this song when I was a kid and just happened to name my son Paul. I used to sing it to him in the morning "Hey Hey Paul!" RIP my darling boy.
I was 11 when this came out and I thought it was a good song and I started to think about girls I met my wife at 17 and married at 18 and we are going on 52 years now and I love her more than ever ! You two are in love too it is easy to see ! One of our songs was love is all around by the troggs
Ray Hildebrand & Jill Jackson , a West Texas cutie who could seriously sing.
Need to hear, "we go together" a real bubble gum song 😅just as sweet, as Hey, Paula 😊
Never heard this before so great but my friend back in school had a car she called Paula and she would get in it and say hey hey paula lol good stuff❤✌
This channel has tapped into those that still believe in True Love , that's what people still want, it's out there.
No auto tune. These two could sing.
Roller skating days, 1963. The Dj played this Beautiful song on a slow dance. One of my all time favorite song.
The music was amazing!..You had great artist like Dean Martin, Bobby Venton, Johnny Rivers, Barbara Lewis( Baby I'm yours), Brenda Lee... There are to many to list! . My favorite male artist is Gene
Pitney( Amazing talent).
This sure takes me back-loved this song back then
I have tried this a few times with a partner at karaoke.
Good old days
LOVE THIS ONE!❤❤! Thanks for reacting!
I the end you said I wish we could sing to each other like that... but you do, I hear the love you have for each other every time you talk, it's as beautiful as singing. You two rock! Peace from Northern. Michigan..
RIP Ray Hildebrand aka "Paul." He died in August at the age of 82.
The radios played this song to death back then.
We sadly lost Ray Hildebrand (Paul) a few days ago. He is now resting in the loving arms of the Lord that he served for so many decades.
Another fav..
Another great hit, when I was 16
This was one of just 2 single discs awarded Gold by the RIAA in 1963 -- though at least half a dozen others sold at least a million in the US.
Love this!! I graduated HS in 1964. Also thanks for both of you. Love your hair this way!!!

You two are awesome couple!!!🎉🎉🎉
The more you listen to this song the more it grows on you. Sometimes I find myself humming this and I think WTH 😂. Love it! Thx
Hey fella, time for you & Mel to put out a vlog of you 2 singing this looking into each others eyes like the original. 🤣🤛🏻🏴
This is real music, this was in the top ten the year I left school,
This was one my favorite songs to sing along with in my youth (I'm 72 now).

I'm 71 also (72 in 6 months) and this also, was a favorite of mine. The one in this video is the original Paula and yes, she couldn't stand Paul.
Really ? Wow that’s funny.
@@AFmedic I never knew that. I was told tnhey were actually Brother and sister team.

I was 13 yrs old when I heard them. And I got to see them perform in person. This was such an innocent love song. Great memories
The way they look at each other ,Paula has the edge in this video.Tony
I slow danced to this many time, back in the day.
Theseday i listen this music so good ^^
Beautiful song, great voices, big hit! Unfortunately no more lovey dovey songs 😍😘 like that anymore. Good memories tho!
❤❤❤❤❤
I remember hearing this first time. A broke Marine Pvt. sitting in the barracks on a weekend.
Thats the song Annie sang before she got killed by Michael Myers in Halloween
OMG 😱
I was 3 and remember it ❤
