Hey Paula / Bobby Is the One (1962)

This debut release paired their breakout hit 'Hey Paula', which climbed to number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in early 1963, with its B-side 'Bobby Is the One'. It captured the wholesome, lovestruck sound that made them a brief but genuine phenomenon in early 1960s pop.

All of Hey Paula / Bobby Is the One
Artist

Paul & Paula

Paul and Paula were a pop singing duo from Texas, made up of Ray Hildebrand and Jill Jackson, who met while attending Howard Payne College in Brownwood in the early 1960s. Hildebrand wrote their signature song after the pair performed it on a local radio station, and it quickly caught enough attention to land them a record deal with Mercury Records. They recorded sweet, romantic pop music aimed squarely at the teen audience of the era.
