“What could be more fun over jeans?”
Saks Fifth Avenue goes low brow with “long-sleeved tee shirts.” And is that Bianca Jagger on the right? I wouldn’t bet money on it but it looks a bit like her. Daily 70s Ad #61: Saks Alter Ego Tee Shirts originally appeared in the January 26, 1976 issue of New York magazine.

Previously on Daily 70s Ad: Presenting Datsun 610 (1973)
“Hits you when you’re down…” (Bonnie Tyler, ‘It’s a Heartache,’ 1978)
Welsh singer, Bonnie Tyler released “It’s a Heartache” (written by Ronnie Scott and Steve Wolfe) in the fall of 1977. The song hit #4 in the UK in November ’77 and by June of 1978 had climbed to a high of #3 on the Billboard “Hot 100.”
I can remember “It’s a Heartache” when it ruled the summer radio airwaves (I would have been 11-years-old). It seemed to me like the song was playing every 15 minutes for about a year. I’m surprised it wasn’t #1 – but Andy Gibb’s “Shadow Dancing” and Gerry Rafferty’s “Baker Street” kept it from the pinnacle of the charts.
