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.
