American Pop singing duo Paul and Paula were in fact Ray Hildebrand and Jill Jackson.
Both were attending Howard Payne College in Brownwood, Texas, in 1962, when a local disc jockey, Riney Jordan, of station KEAN, asked listeners to come to the studio and sing their songs to help the American Cancer Society.
The duo sang a song called “Hey Paula,” which Hildebrand wrote; the lyrics were inspired by a friend of his, Russell Berry, whose fiancée was named Paula.
Jordan decided that Hildebrand and Jackson should record the song, and they did.
Shelby Singleton of Philips Records eventually signed the two, but not before changing their professional names.
Singleton reasoned that a pair named Ray and Jill singing about “Hey, hey Paula” and “Hey, hey Paul” did not make sense.
“Hey Paula” sold over two million copies globally, and was awarded a gold disc by the Recording Industry Association of America in 1963.

Hooked on a feeling 
this was written by Mark James and originally sung by Billy Joe Thomas. It caught my attention as the track used an electronic sitar, but the song was made more popular by Blue Suede from Stockholm in 1974.
Incidentally, Blue Suede was originally know as Blablus, Swedish for Blue Blouse and their version was released by Jonathan King he of Everyone’s Gone To The Moon fame
