The singer, Doug Fieger...25 at the time, fell in love with a girl from a clothing store named Sharona Alperin, 17 at the time, but they were both in relationships. He broke up with his girlfriend and went after Sharona. They were messing around, although she was still in a relationship. They started dating a while after he wrote a few songs for her; including My Sharona, That's What the Little Girls Do and (She's So) Selfish. They were together for 5 years, but broke up when alcoholism took over Doug. They remained friends. Sharona was with Doug when he died of cancer in 2010. Also, Doug stated he wrote My Sharona from a 14-year-old boy's perspective.

Alperin remembers the day when she first heard “My Sharona” — before she and Fieger were an item. “One day, on my lunch break from my clothing store, I went to their [The Knack’s] rehearsal,” she says. “And I saw maybe Berton [Averee] or Doug [Fieger] say, ‘Should we play it? Should we play it? All right, let’s play it for her.’ And I sat down. Cut to: I’m driving back to the clothing store, and I’m thinking, ‘Did I just hear a song with my name in it?'”

Shirley Rose Eikhard (7 November 1955 – 15 December 2022) was a Canadian singer-songwriter. Although moderately successful in Canada as a performer in her own right, she had her greatest Canadian and international success as a songwriter for other artists, most notably as the writer of Bonnie Raitt's 1991 hit "Something to Talk About".

1977....I had just graduated from college and was on my way.

And the Doobies were my co-pilot!

The Doobie Brothers live at WTTW Studios in Chicago, Illinois on November 27, 1977 ("Livin' on the Fault Line" Tour 1977-78). I first restored the video by deinterlacing the footage, doubling the frame rate to 60 FPS. I then added color correction (brightness/contrast, lighting/color levels). I restored the audio by adding a compressor/limiter and EQ.
