The band consisted of the studio musicians who made up John Belushi and Dan Ackroyd's Blues Brothers Band, along with other notable musicians, including the late great Yogi Horton and jazz legend Jon Faddis. One of my favorite arrangers, Leon Pendarvis penned the charts and was Musical Director. Husband and wife actors Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee provided the voice-over narration for the commercials.
Recorded in New York at Clinton Studios, it started out as a jingle but ended up a full length recording.
This is the actual video from the recording session. Al was 8 hours late, which is why it's dark when he's arriving. It's a fun-filled sneak peek inside what goes on (or used to go on) in the recording studio. Enjoy!

I was present for this and what an experience it was. Look at the collection of talent who were so willing to do this. I worked at Mingo-Jones for years and at a time when talented artists gladly supported one another as well as a project such as this. I still have my video cassette of this. Lol

A different day and time when artists had class and could really sing.
-
Melba Moore, Roberta Flack, Patti Austin, Denise Williams, Al Green, oh my!

So far as I know, every singer in that room is still with us.😊

Now that's singing, nothing on the radio is seeing this
-
Back when you had to have REAL talent to sing, I miss great music 🎶

More talent in her pinky finger than all of today’s artists combined

Niece's innocence and Al's joy is a blessing to behold.
-
Al Green adds the seasoning to a song ! He sings with so much Love !

High end singers singing a high end song arranged on a high level project. Glorious sound in heaven.

The song itself makes me proud to be who I am but to here it arranged this elegantly and with the "A" listed talent makes me more unapologetically proud to be who I am....BLACK! !!

The 80s. A time in which the mere atmosphere exuded happiness and no pressure. Great to witness this!
