Legendary jingle singers: 1:52 Barry Manilow; 43:19 Jake Holmes 20:42 Lesley Miller; 20:52 The Ron Hicklin Singers 5:07 This sounds like Bonnie Herman, but not 100% sure.
6:08 - Pittsburgh Paints - Peacock voiced by Stan Freberg, who also wrote and directed the commercial. Cop voiced by Peter Leeds. Women voiced by Naomi Lewis.
21:36 All four of these ABA stars in this Adidas ad: Zelmo Beaty, Billy Cunningham, Mel Daniels, and Dr. J (who was known for wearing Converse in the NBA) are in the Basketball Hall of Fame. 29:45 Martin Kove!
@@jameswillett7186 Yeah. I guess the people who could afford them are the ones complaining on social media about how everything was less expensive in the ‘70s.
Billy Jack promo. I have found newspaper theater ads in the Summer of '73 for this. The ad also said that it had pulled in over $30 million so this is a re release probably to also promote the 1974 Trial of Billy Jack.

@@RandyDubin Actually, Kraftwerk started back in 1970 in Germany. They had a few albums out by 1973.They didn't become well known in the west until their 1978 album "The Man Machine" hit big. It's very possible the person who composed this music had heard one of their early albums.

Tom Bosley for Shasta and Barry Manilow for McDs.
Didn't Manilow write the McDonald's jingle?
I thought that was Mason Adams. Good catch!
@@smichelle65Yes, and he also wrote the State Farm "Like a Good Neighbor" jingle you hear on this video as well.
Barry Manilow was at the opening of the McDonald’s museum and restaurant in North Huntingdon, Pennsylvania.
In the second Bic Banana commercial (15:01) that's Mel Brooks doing the voiceover.
When Joan Crawford flies Pan-Am she checks in Christina in cargo.
Memories are such a surprising thing. Even after 50 years, I remember some of these like a handful of fifth grade classmates.
McDonald’s has been ubiquitous for nigh on 70 years. I wonder what it will take to put those bustards out of business.
9:37 - That's Bob Arbogast, who voiced many animated segments in the early years of "Sesame Street".
35:34 - Westclox - with Terry Kiser (Bernie, in "Weekend at Bernie's").
That's Barry Manilow singing the McDonalds commercial.
Definitely Barry!
The food quality at McDonalds is day and night from then to now!! I miss those days!
Back then, the French fries were cooked in beef tallow.
@@luisreyes1963 yes they were and were better for you if eaten once in awhile. Now it’s scary what they will feed you to save a penny!

@@kmjeffelssmaller menu in those days no Happy Meals until 1979 tho
@@oldradios09 commercial microwaves were out mid 70’s and we had our first microwave in 83’. I do remember some really cool happy meals!
I was 10 years old. I remember the bic banana commercial lol.
18:50 - Hertz - Patti Deutsch as the rental agent.
Richard B. Schull as the customer.
@@luisreyes1963 Skull!
Holland Taylor in that RC commercial. So cool 😎

Don't Miss NBC's New Jack Webb Crime Show, Chase! Premiering One Week From Tonight, Right Here On NBC!
I was 14 in 1974 and never liked commercials but it's cool to see the hairstyles and clothes I used to have.

Eagle eye!
OK, OK I'll buy a '74 Cadillac!
“Wouldn’t you really rather have a Buick?”
These are great Rick, thanks for posting them
Pre-April 3, 1974 Tornado Super Outbreak stuff.
There’s nothing sadder than AMF owning Harley Davidson.
I LOVE GM's big cars of that time- the Buicks and the Cadillacs.
Yeah but most people couldn’t afford them.
@@russellgrimes3491 1973 was a record year for Cadillac.
@@jameswillett7186 Yeah. I guess the people who could afford them are the ones complaining on social media about how everything was less expensive in the ‘70s.
That was AWESOME!!! Thank you sir 😊
Triumph no longer makes cars, they still make motorcycles.
Incredible! Thank you!
10:50 Natalie Wood so lovely.
9-7-73?
31:35 - sounds like Jerry Damon V/O on the "NBC Follies" promo.
44:25 - Vic Roby V/O on the "Police Story" and "The Magician" promos.
7:36: former NFL star Rosey Grier (who did a lot of TV appearances back then). Not sure who the kid with him is; Rodney Allen Rippey?
Shasta soda...I haven't thought about that brand in ages.
Shasta and RC were mixers for many a ‘70s alcoholic. Plus poor people served Shasta at get togethers because it was cheaper than Coke.
I hope y’all will reply to this is that Leslie Nielsen advertising Ghia cars???
You already know!

Can’t miss that laugh of Charles Nelson Reilly’s!

And yet, not a single "Answer Grape" animated ad from Taylor Wines.
34:33 and 47:13 that music sounds like techno.. Crazy..
And that was before Kraftwerk, which were considered the pioneers of techno. (They came along in the late-1970s)
@@RandyDubin Actually, Kraftwerk started back in 1970 in Germany. They had a few albums out by 1973.They didn't become well known in the west until their 1978 album "The Man Machine" hit big. It's very possible the person who composed this music had heard one of their early albums.
@@Foxonian the only thing is this sounds nothing like Kraftwerk especially their early stuff.
59:08 Holland Taylor for RC Cola
Wow, crystal clear. What format were these transferred from? Or did you get your new software worked out?
Sony Eiaj Reel To Reel no I didn't use software on this
@@obsoletevideo6048Do you have more variety shows?
1973 was the last year for cigar TV advertising in the US.
Actually, the early 1980's had cigars last advertised on TV.
I remember seeing cigar, chewing tobacco, and pipe tobacco advertising into the early 80s.
Ink crayons? Doesn’t he mean colored markers?
Makes it sound fancy.
Does anyone know the promo V/O for "Chase"? He was a longtime commercial V/O . . .
Gary Merrill. That is who is providing the voiceover.
47:00 esd that Bill Cosby ?
