    Wow! I forgot about all of these commercials. She was so much a part of Americana.

  • @jcextranow
    @jcextranow 6 лет назад +41

    She had so much fun doing commericals and the companies that endorsed her saw major sales in their products.

      She certainly did. She hit me hard as a 14yr old, in 1967, in Australia, as the next best thing in music, after the Beatles.She added so many more layers to modern music. Sensational then - sensational now!!!!
      AND lm pretty sure we had the same snickers advert here. Love her heaps.
      PLUS she is an amazing personality as well.

    Wow!! I forgot about most of these. Aretha's voice was everywhere in the 80s & 90s. I wish we could have seen more of her acting skills & bits of comedy. She did do more talk shows 2000-2017. This itself showed how she opened up to her fans. One talented lady, indeed!!!😙

      @joeb267382 6 лет назад +7

      My mother said the same thing. I had told her earlier she was worth 80 million then a couple days later I told her about all the products she shilled for and the first thing she said was "That's why she was worth 80 million"
      My mother always admired Andy Rooney from 60 minutes because he always said he would never appear in commercials.

      A lot of the commercials that she did were for products or places that she would go or buy. And the car commercials were a given since she lived and loved Detroit.

Heaven's choir is rocking with you, Marvin Gaye, Luther, Otis, Sam, Isaac, Barry White, Teena Marie, Lena Horne, Whitney, MJ, Prince, four of the classic 5 members of the Temptations (David Ruffin, Eddie Kendricks, Paul Williams and Melvin Franklin as well as Dennis Edwards), 2Pac, B.I.G., Bob Marley, and the list goes on and on...Rest in heaven to the queen and everyone now in that beautiful choir.

    Thanks for putting of these together in one clip. I have most of them as separate clips. Do you possibly have the commercial (I think it was Coke) with Aretha and her sisters? It starts out with the announcer, "Erma, Carolyn and Aretha Franklin", with a long, upbeat intro before the singing. It was probably from 1968, maybe 1969. Thank you.

      Yes, it was terrific. The announcer had a good build up, announcing their names and leaving Aretha to the last. I used to have that one, but I don't see it on my backup drive for some reason. If I see it again, I'll be sure to let you know. And thanks again for putting this video of commercials together.
