Bacon Brothers who? LOL no offense to them - and I LOVE the It’s a Philly Thing video - but THIS song, especially the Patti part, will ALWAYS be my definitive Go Philly sawng. Bill Cosby notwithstanding.
It is excellent that Cosby is in it and it is a shame people who think he is guilty are so stupid. There was no and is no evidence against Cosby for any of the claims against him. The media played small minded people. The claims against Cosby were all about money
What an utter disappointment this city turned out to be. Back then was amazing and beautiful. Every Sunday we would have breakfast the THE NEW MARKET at Penn's Landing. Walk up and down South St, go to Wanamaker's. Never with fear of being shot, stabbed or run into some junkie trash. I work and live in Philadelphia and I miss it I miss the past.
Cities were dangerous back then especially with the 80s crack cocaine epidemic. Major cities always had problems, but the CCE really hit the US hard and very few US cities managed to fully recover from it. :-( It's still going on though the drugs are different. :-(
Take it in the context of the time it was filmed. Bill Cosby in the mid-1980s was a Philadelphia native success story. He had the number one show on television at the time. He was also a huge supporter of his alma mater Temple University. I like seeing him doing a cameo in this ad, along with Dr J, Patti Labelle, the Hooters etc, all of whom donated to their time to appear.
I recall this campaign and from my current perspective, I notice a lack of diversity in the people who are having fun in the video. Guess the strategy was focused on a white demographic.
This is easily the greatest ad campaign ever devised for this city, and one of the greatest videos about us.
Best thing about the 80’s is people in leg warmers spontaneously dancing
@@gregorlandini4328 You don't remember the spontaneous dancers on South Broad? Happened all the time back in '86!
Minute 1:53. That’s the block I was born and raised and watched this be recorded!!
"QUEEN PATTI LABELLE "
I'm not sure what year this came out, but this video makes me nostalgic for the 1980s. What an amazing time
I think I saw this around 1985 or 1986
1986
Was great to grow up in Philly in the 80s! This was def the vibe
@ 2:44 Philadelphia-based band The Hooters make a cameo in this promo
Look like a news promo, which has the feeling and vibe of We're 4 New York from WNBC Channel 4
Edd Kalehoff made that as well
OMG so much hope and light in that.. I so miss that promo....Thanx for making my day!
I'm 38 I was about 6 when this came out. all Smiles
Thank you for this! Hard to find one without the hiss!
Time for an updated version for 2026 bicentennial

Goosebumps for 2:45
Makes my heart feel good
Edd Kalehoff is know for many a game show piece of music, too
So many memories
This is great.
Every time I see the traffic police officer , I think of my Dad ! He was retired almost 10 yrs by then .
Bacon Brothers who? LOL no offense to them - and I LOVE the It’s a Philly Thing video - but THIS song, especially the Patti part, will ALWAYS be my definitive Go Philly sawng. Bill Cosby notwithstanding.
This is so 1980's. I'm for New York, I'm for PA, I'm for (insert 2 syllable noun here).
Hey, Edd. Aren't you that game show composer? My name is Rohan and I was born in Philly. I remember this ad campaign.
Yes it is the same Edd Kalehoff.
Is this a spin off of full house?
2:14 - Grover Washington Jr. going inside The Academy of Music
2:23 he's a nice touch
It looks like one of those travel promos.
It is. There was also "Spirit of Massachusetts" which was aired around the same time this video was.
FLY EAGLES FLY!
The Hooters!?
Song starts at 1:21
You forgot to include the shootings and building fires but other than that it's pretty good. East Philly resident over here btw 👍
This wasn't Philly then, and it sure as hell isn't Philly now.
shame they have Cosby in it...but back then, who knew?
Dick Vitale wanted them to rename Temple's arena after Cosby who graduated from there, but you're right back then, who knew.
It is excellent that Cosby is in it and it is a shame people who think he is guilty are so stupid. There was no and is no evidence against Cosby for any of the claims against him. The media played small minded people. The claims against Cosby were all about money
@@1980Triumph Some of us live in reality instead of a state of denial.
Long live Bill Cosby!!! And Sing it 🎤 , Patti!!
I used to watch Picture Pages (I really wanted that beeping marker) but no one knew in the 80s what was going to happen decades later.
Threedom brought me here
Suzuki Patti goodbye

Philadelphia will never be the same. It’s going to hell
How about edit out Cosby and put Will Smith in instead?
Or Sylvester Stallone

Didn't Stalin do that--erase people from historical photographs to create new "truths"?
How about erase history all together. The Nazi's tried that remember.
Bill Cosby is Philly and this was from 1985. Editing him out would be stupid
I recall this campaign and from my current perspective, I notice a lack of diversity in the people who are having fun in the video. Guess the strategy was focused on a white demographic.
What the hell are you talking about. It’s extremely accurate to the demographics of the city in 1986
