Previously on Daily 70s Ad: #100: Gino Vannelli ‘Powerful People’
“It’s a lonely afternoon…” (Gino Vannelli, ‘Powerful People,’ 1975)
This song goes hand-in-hand with today’s Daily 70s Ad, so I couldn’t resist. It’s Gino Vannelli performing “Powerful People” on Soul Train in 1975.
“Powerful People,’ from the L.P. of the same name, wasn’t a big hit, so you’re probably not familiar with it. I wasn’t. Nevertheless, the tune is a jazz-fusion-disco ballad…of sorts and (beyond big Vannelli fans) it’s a mostly-forgotten slice of 1970s musical history. The last minute of the video contains a brief interview. Watch in stunned awe?

“Plop Plop, Fizz Fizz!” (Morgan Freeman (?) and friends, 1976)
Acid indigestion “Relief” weekend continues (and sadly, ends) today. This time around we have Rolaids competitors; Alka-Seltzer (1976) and Tums (1979).
It sure as heck looks like Morgan Freeman in the back of the bowling team in the Alka-Seltzer spot. Unfortunately, the source video is a bit blurry so I’m not comfortable saying it is for sure. What think you?

“A sporty car with everything but a sports car price.”
Yeah. That looks just like a sports car. Hell, it’s practically a Formula 1. Daily 70s Ad #99: Datsun 200-SX originally appeared in the March, 1977 issue of Popular Mechanics magazine.
