Move Ahead With Mercury -1966 Mercury Theme Music

Released in September, 1965, the promotional recording of "Move Ahead With Mercury" is a 15-minute medley of Mercury's new theme music (for the 1966 line of Mercury automobiles). Enjoy, and as the song says... 'let everyone follow YOU'!

A life-long vintage car enthusiast, I'm starting to also upload obscure automobile promos here on my YouTube channel, so let me know if you enjoy them! Also check out my post of the Latin-dance tunes "Double Trouble" and "Bobby's Blues" by Philadelphia-based bandleader Bobby Roberts, from a 1956 45 rpm EP album packaged as a promotional/give-away item for Crisconi Oldsmobile - one of the largest car dealerships in Pennsylvania (the EP sleeve and photos of the dealership are pictured in the video montage).

I also occasionally incorporate the Latin-themed commercial jingles into my weekly radio program. Since 1996, I've hosted "The Latin Flavor Classic Edition", drawing upon my 18,000+ record collection of mid-century mambo and Latin-jazz recordings, live-streaming on www.WPFWFM.ORG on Sundays, 6:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. EST! The bongo-beat is the perfect soundtrack for true "Mad Men"! Tune -in and enjoy!
