Sharona Alperin modeling for the cover of the Knack’s classic 1979 pop-rock single ‘My Sharona’ off the band’s debut LP ‘Get the Knack.’
Knack frontman Doug Fieger wrote ‘My Sharona’ after meeting and asking out Sharona in 1977, though she initially turned him down because she was dating someone else at the time. Doug and Sharona eventually became a couple from 1978 to 1982, during which Sharona inspired many tracks on the first three Knack albums and was featured again on the cover of their second LP, ‘…But the Little Girls Understand’ in 1980.
The pair stayed in touch after breaking up with Sharona even visiting Doug the week he died in 2010. The website URL for Sharona’s real estate business is ‘mysharona’ and includes the song as background music on the site.
Doug died in 2010 of cancer he was 57
