Swing the Jingle

Swing the Jingle was a 1965-1974 advertising project that had popular music groups and singers recording the Coke jingle in their own musical style and sound. Have a listen to these groovy radio spots.

The J. Geils Band

On rainy days when I was forced to hang out indoors, I would rummage through my family's albums and play records. I discovered one of the greatest live albums while listening to Full House.



Here is the band in 1973, a year after Full House was released.



Their concert at Holy Cross College in Massachusetts from 1972


The 1962 version of Homework by Otis Rush


1965's version of Homework by Al Perkins and Betty Bibbs

I finally saw Peter Wolf in 2019. One of the best shows I've ever seen.
