Hey - a shout out to you Edd. I was the Editor that cut this piece those many years ago! I was proud to play a small part of the grand resurgence of Cleveland going on at the time. Thanks for giving us such a fabulous piece to cut these videos to! It was joy to work on this project. One of the best tracks I ever edited to. We may have spoken on the phone back in those days but never met. I’m gonna have to check and see what you are into these days. Keep on Creating! - Mark
Every kid and adult who lived on the lakeshore in/around Cleveland in the mid 1990's secretly knows and remembers this song and absolutely loves it. Legendary. Those mid 90's clips of downtown Cleveland, the Lake, and especially the old Stadium bring a tear to my eye. What a powerful piece of art and propaganda. You hit a 450ft grand slam home run with this piece, Mr Kalehoff :)
That's some serious star power right there - including Mr. Kalehoff, whose work I've loved for decades. I lived in Cleveland for over 30 years, and I remember this :)
You had the wrong ''Annie' actress. That's not Quinn, but Andrea McArdle. She and Kalehoff were married, at this point. She also sang, with Curtis King, in the ''We're 4 New York' campaign.
I grew up in Cleveland and this song still gets stuck in my head to this day. A sign of a truly catchy tune. Thanks for posting and seeing all of those news anchors/the feel of the city at that time!
YES! This song is STILL remembered even after 25 years or so. I always LOVED this song when I was a kid. The commercial always had the condensed version but I heard the long version just a few times as a kid and I was always trying to find it and hear it again. Classic song! Thank you so much to those who created it.
Mr. Kalehoff you've always made good music.One of my favorites in the world of local television news. Was WJBK TV2 in Detroit during their CBS era of the station / early FOX years. Do you have WJBK Evening News, Dayna & Eyewitness Primetime on video? One of my favorite themes of yours...👍
The same slogan used by WEWS from 1995-1998 would be used for UK based Channel 5 during pre launch before it launched on March 30, 1997. From 1997-2002, a sans serif circle 5 was used by that channel. A newer version of this logo began to be used by Channel 5 in February 2011 with a red background after the channel was sold by the successor companies of its original owners. That logo was replaced in February 2016 after Viacom purchased the channel two years earlier, allowing Scripps to acquire the rights to it for use by WEWS in September 2016, albeit in a blue color.

Edd Kalehoff also composed a similar jingle for an ad campaign promoting Philadelphia, titled "Philadelphia- Get to Know Us"
The 1995-'96 Cleveland Cavs Dance Team 🖤💙🧡❤💜💛🤩😍
Singers are Andrea McArdle, James Ingram, Carly Simon and Curtis King. Edd Kalehoff is on the Piano and the drummer and guitar player were actors.

Certified banger right here.
On a short list of the five best songs ever, and I can't think of the other four.
I was only a little kid in the 90s but I always fondly remember this commercial
The woman's hair and smile at 1:17 could be taken out of a Christopher Guest Mock-u-mentary. Oh man I am loving her.
Not to sound biased BUT...."Philadelphia, Get To Know Us." is best. "Cleveland Gimme5." is 2nd. The NY jingle is a very distant 3rd.
Too bad I wasn't born yet to witness this fucking masterpiece on television! I wish I lived in Cleveland around this time tbh...
Yes bad luck
90s wow this is amazing
2021 this is cringey
I would care to disagree. This image campaign's musical and lyrical impact is timeless.
James Ingram?
Yes, an Akron native also in the video is Andrea Mcardle
