Recently we saw Bob Dylan on TV in a commercial for IBM with Watson, and it made us think about celebrity endorsements from the world of music. Do you remember these collaborations?
I guess they needed the money, as rock group Cream did a beer commercial for Falstaff in the mid-60s.
Paul Stanley of KISS recorded a commercial for Folgers coffee, Honda used ZZ Top in 1998, and finally Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin did a wonderful commercial for Coca-Cola in 1969.
David Bowie and Tina Turner appeared in a commercial for Pepsi in 1987.
John Lydon of the Sex Pistols was in a commercial for Mountain Dew in 1996.
Who could forget the Rolling Stones appearing in a Rice Krispies TV commercial in 1963?!
Ted Nugent in 1993 did a commercial with the Energizer Bunny.
