Hardbopjazz Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 Does anyone remember back in the late 70s or early 80s, a TV ad by a singer selling his album? Although he was an unknown singer, he made himself sound as if he had been around for years. I believe his first name was Frank. I do recall reading that he sold 80,000 copies of his album through the commercial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christiern Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 I believe his name was Peter Lemongello and those late-night TV ads were so successful and so much talked about that they inspired others. One, I recall was a very pedestrian painter. The screen zoomed several household names at you: Monet...Picasso...Degas..etc. and then came this guy's rather common name.
