- Diet Pepsi Ray Charles Uh Huh Girls Commercial 1991
You Got the Right One, Baby, Uh Huh" was a popular slogan for Pepsico's Diet Pepsi brand in the United States and Canada from 1990 to 1993. A series of television ads featured singer Ray Charles, surrounded by models, singing a song about Diet Pepsi, entitled "You Got the Right One Baby, Uh Huh". The tag-phrase of the song included the words "Uh Huh!", which, as part of the ad campaign, were featured on Diet Pepsi packaging. Later, after Diet Pepsi phased out the aspartame / saccharin mix in favor of a 100% aspartame formula, many commercials ended with an announcer saying, "With 100% Uh Huh" replacing the earlier "With 100% NutraSweet".
The advertising campaign was created for Pepsi by BBD&O, a major New York advertising agency, and the song used in the commercials, entitled "Ray's Song" was penned by the team at Sunday Productions, also of New York City.
Another songwriter penned a composition with the same tag-line, and unsuccessfully attempted to receive credit for the commercial.
According to him: The song was written (as a love song) 1989 by Arthur Takeall of Annapolis, Maryland, first performed over radio station WEBB in Baltimore. Takeall has a registered copyright on the song and owner of the Federal Registered Trademark, "You Got the Right One, Baby, Uh Huh".
Prince's recording of his track 'Uh Huh' has often led to the mistaken belief that Prince wrote the jingle used in the commercials.
But the song was written by Diet Pepsi creative director Alfred Merrin and jingle writer Peter Cofield, who tried to tailor the catchphrase "the right one" to Ray Charles' delivery and consequently added "baby". Charles' backing singers The Raelettes then added "Uh huh" after playing around with other two-syllable alternatives, such as "doo-woo".
The song's title quickly became a catchphrase across North America, and was referenced in various television shows and movies of the time, including The Cosby Show, Foofur, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Coneheads and Rookie of the Year. The commercials themselves played on the parodies. One series of commercials showed people who opened cans of Diet Pepsi being thanked by Ray Charles and his backup singers with an "uh huh" (or the occasion "nuh uh" for people who drank diet sodas from rival companies). Another commercial showed unsuccessful auditions with gangsta rappers, heavy metal bands and opera singers participating in a contest all singing "You Got The Right One Baby", in their most original format. A cash prize would be awarded to the best original rendition of "You Got The Right One Baby, uh huh". over 300,000 videos were submitted, to that extent Diet Pepsi awarded 10 first place prizes to the best and most original renditions.

I’m getting old because I remember these commercials so well as a kid.
K Vo same here... hard to forget Ray's jingle
facts, same
born in 86, same here
Bro me too! I remember this being in the first grade back in 91! I'm 34 now..
saaaaammme.
This popped in my head outta nowhere. Gotta love the internet.
Same thing happened to me. I was 5 when I remember seeing these commercials 🤣🤣
Samesies
exact same thing just happened to me too, uh huh!
Me too! Last week out of the blue!
Me too dude. Just walking back to the office from lunch and it suddenly popped in my head.
Rookie of the Year got me here!
Favorite movie growing up^ Henry couldn’t remember his Diet Pepsi adverbs tho
I will never forget Ray's voice in this commercial!!!
He has such a commanding voice.
@@DanRaidersWarriorsSharksGiantsI know (January 3rd,2024 and April 2nd,2024/🙂).
R.I.P. RAY CHARLES ! WE MISS YOU !
I'm 36 years old & the phrase🎶 "you got the right one baby"🎶 has lived in my head since I was 4 years old and even still now. & I find myself randomly saying it when it fits with certain situations 😆. R.i.p. Ray Charles💯
That's what my whole comment was just about 🤣 lived rent free, pulled it out of the recesses of my mind just 5 minutes before I looked this up like it's '91 all over again.
When I was a kid, I'd see these commercials with this old blind black guy playing the piano, gorgeous girls crawling all over him, drinking a diet pepsi and all I could think of was, "That has to be the coolest guy who ever lived." I've been a diet pepsi drinker ever since.
You do realize that's how they get you, right? 😏
I remember this from my childhood. Now, I’m 40 in 2021. Life used to be so simple. We were more able to to live and just be.
i miss the 90s
Prince's version of Uh Huh is dope!
Oh my goodness, this instantly takes me back to being 9 years old.
Go Ray ! ! ! ! I miss this!!!
The first commercial is the one I remember the most from when I was only six around late 1991/early 1992. It was the hottest commercial at the time, and my step dad always loved it, too. Back then, the KFC in Fredericksburg, VA (near the Rappahannock) even had one of those Pepsi cans stuck around the top corner of the door at the entrance, and it played the "Uh Huh" song every time you walked in. I remember my step dad laughing and thinking it was the coolest thing when we first saw it. :)
2020 someone?
Shout out to Jamie French and the buttercream gang .
Well damn, thanks for bringing the flashback smile to my face. This and the Cali Raisins commercials kept me amused for hours as a precocious 11 years old.
So iconic! I definitely remember these commercials from my childhood.
These ads & the song was so popular around that time. Remember that episode of The Cosby Show where Raven Symone's character, Olivia, is helping Bill Cosby's character (Cliff) fix the kitchen sink? He asks for a screwdriver & when she hands it to him, she breaks out in the jingle "You got the right one baby" to which Cliff responds, "Uh huh"
Just one of a few nods to Ray Charles in the series. The other being the use of "It's Not Easy Being Green" in an episode where Rudy wants to wear a dress to a party, but Clair won't let her
Ray Charles was the culture. RIP 🐐
Loved these commercials by Ray Charles
I really miss when RAY CHARLES😎 did the Pepsi commercials!
The fun fact is that Pepsi promoted this like a "young add" but my parents and my Grandparents enjoyed Ray Charles in the 60's and 70's.
Anyways, I still loving the classical Jazz of Ray Charles.
The rock version had me dying! XD
A classic ass commercial. Love it😄😄😄😄
I was born in 1987. This is probably one of the first commercials I can remember seeing as a little kid.
Fresh Prince brought me here LOLLL
'Banks is the RIGHT ONE BAYBAY!' 😂😂😂
I don't know why..... but my respect for Ray Charles just got higher.......
“He can do it, he really can” sent me😂
Banks it the right one, baby. UH-HUNH!!
Lol I remember this commerical
RIP Ray Charles! U were n still r worldwidely loved! 😎 🎹🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
yep, still love this at age 29

Out of no where this popped on my head. Had to check it out!
*9.25.2020*
My favorite Ray Charles song
I remember this commercial
The Buttercream Gang brought me here
Jake S Same dude
the coolest commercial ever. man this takes me back to my childhood. the 90s were best.
This should’ve been in the movie I swear
Song was stuck in my head for like a week! 🤣🤣
We have a home video from 1991 with 7 year old me running around and singing this jingle lol!
Uh huh 😎
Great Ray Charles 🙏🏿
2:26 holy crap they even got Tiny Tim in there as well 💀
So weird seeing this at 11, not seeing it at 12, then seeing it parodied by Animaniacs at 13 but thinking "why are they spoofing that old commercial??"
Now in my 40s, I see a commercial from age 38 and still think it came out yesterday.
I'm a fan of Diet Pepsi in the '90s with Ray Charles! No wonder he's quite the best legend.
I just found out that Ray Charles started out endorsing Coca-Cola back in the day! Haha, I wonder if they were pissed when he made the switch?
"...Because pizza goes great with fries!"
It’s all about contracts and it doesn’t matter once they expire. Celebrities aren’t subjected to one brand name forever
I guess when I drink Diet Pepsi, I'll remember that I have the right one, baby. Ray Charles was a very gifted pianist! Especially, because he could play in blindly. Yes, I know that was his condition.
I seen a crystal clear pepsi on Facebook and immediately ray Charles popped in my head for diet pepsi
1:51 the legend spoke the truth
This definitely just popped in my head lol missing my Grandz this was her commercial 😂😂😂❤
Born 1995 and feeling good educating myself on the not-so-distant past; although, times are really troubling right now.
Prince Sings the original one
R.I.P. Ray Charles! I remember diz commercial tho.
YA GOT DA RIGHT ONE BAYBEE. UH HUHHH WOAH HO
That first commercial is everything. Uh huh.
They spared no expense with this commercial campaign.
Prince actually wrote this song.
Yes!!! Well said Dante ....Prince wrote the whole song and gave it the to Ray Charles. No one knew. Prince refused commercialism (personally), however this one gave it to Ray. @+>
Really?!? I’m a huge, huge Prince fan and I didn’t know this!
Was just thinking about these commercials from my childhood and looked it up. Love Ray Charles and this song!
This song just popped in my head… snippets of the chorus that i.e. … the choir part and the monks😂😍 I haven’t heard this since I was a kid in the 90s!….@2:00 was HILARIOUS 😳😂😂
I was watching the 1990 NFC Championship game here on you tube and this commercial pops up. Takes me back to being 4. lol
The first commercial I ever remember. I must have been 3 years old.
Yeaaaaahhh, uh huh you got the right one baby❤
I got a Diet Pepsi tonight while making a Wawa Run - I automatically thought of Ray Charles! I thought of him going Diet Pepsi Uh-Huh!
I was 6 or 7 when this came out. I love my life in the 90’s!!!!
It had to have caught on, over 30 years later and it popped in my head like I'm 3 1/2 again when it first came out 😂 I just sent a gif of it to my cousin because of something she said. And they fa sho got the right one baby, uh huh, when it comes to this cousin about her kids 🤣🤣
RAY ES LO MAXIMO!!
Anyone remember the Pepsi can that sang this song when you opened the cooler at the store?
I have one and it works.

Makes me want to get a Pepsi with Ray Charles.

Absolutely .
Can't believe its been that long ago...

I keep giving Diet Pepsi a shot, it’s used to subpar next to Diet Coke, but a couple years ago Diet Coke switched up the recipe so i can only drink the zeroes
I cannot believe it's been 31 years since these commercials aired holyshit I'm getting old
