Jazz/Pop Musicians as Pitchmen 2

Champale2
On August 20, I posted a series of YouTube clips in which well-known jazz and pop artists starred in ads. Well, it didn't take long for JazzWax readers to chime in. Here's another round...

Ella Fitzgerald and Nelson Riddle from trumpeter Jeff Helgesen and jazz/blues radio legend Bob Porter...

 

Ella Fitzgerald and Chuck Mangione from Jeff...

 

Miles Davis for Honda from Ali Sleeq...

 

James Brown for Miso soup from Michael Bloom...

 

Harry James for Kleenex tissues from Richard Salvucci...

 

Bing, Louis, Rosie and the Hi-Lo's for Roll-O-Matic from John Cooper...

  

And here are a handful from me...

Diana Krall for Chrysler...

 

Peggy Lee for McDonald's...

 

Tony Bennett for Visa...

 

Mel Torme for the Oldsmobile 88...

 

And Frank Sinatra pitching for Chicago's Pete Epsteen Pontiac...
