This is a fun album showing just how many recording artists were willing to plug a certain soft drink. It’s interesting to see the different approaches taken. The cuts are short, so I’m including a bunch of them here. There’s really not much else to say here (although I’ll have a few special awards at the end), so let’s see who’s willin’ to be shillin’!

Gary Lewis & the Playboys
Ray Charles
Roy Orbison
Bee Gees
Neil Diamond
The Four Seasons
The Supremes
The Box Tops
Jan & Dean
Jay & the Americans
