SHARONA ALPERIN – REALTOR

Have you heard the song My Sharona? If yes, you should have known that it held the number one spot of Billboard’s Top 100 singles chart for almost 6 weeks. It also held the number one slot for Top Pop Singles year-end chart in 1979. The reason behind that success points out to the inspiration behind the song, Sharona Alperin. Alperin was the girlfriend of one of the band members and t he inspiration behind the successful track.

Their relationship went as far as engagement but didn’t push past marriage. After the dust settled, Alperin decided to become a realtor. She’s now a successful realtor, dealing with mortgages and real estates in Los Angeles. She has not been the reason for that fame but just a mere inspiration. Even though that is the case, she still could take some credits because she helped in her little way to make this song a hit.
