I hope you guys enjoy these classics. I have been carrying them around for almost 40 years. There's a story behind each commercial. These represent the creative work of David Schackmann, Denny Christine, Denny Grayson, John Lyons, & Paul Saas as creative directors. The trade-outs are pretty obvious. Paul Nugent is probably responsible for those. There's a lot of Bill Ramsey in there. My favorite is my "dancing sofa beds" spot in which Ramsey did the choreography and Tom Von Hoene did the editing. (Von- Hoene- A-Tech.) The production managers were Tom Silberman, Denny Grayson and Bob Wolpert.. I think Wolpert shot the Glen Este film. The work of Bob Stothfang, Ty Clear, Rene' White, Rhonda Kramer and Larry Glazer is all in there. (Rhonda is the model and spokesperson in case you don't recognize her).
Also, check out the take on John Lyons when Cathy leaves the set in the "Passport to Pleasure" spot. And, of course, the dulcet tones of the greatest announcer and audio producer ever, Greg Eversull. They called him "Mario." I never knew why. Please comment freely on what you remember about these times. It was a "gas."
