Lesley Gore Sings for Coca Cola
Compiled by JD Doyle

In the 1960's Coca Cola recorded at least 50 commercials with rock & pop stars of the day singing that "things go better with Coca Cola," or variations. These were the big names of the day. Lesley Gore, as far as I know, recorded the "Things Go Better" ad in three lengths: 30, 60 and 90 seconds. The 90-second ad was actually released on a 45 rpm record, given out for promotion. It also featured Roy Orbison, The Drifters and Los Bravos. This was good stuff, and that disc today is usually in around the $40 range. In 1967 more commercials were produced and Lesley got another one, usually called "Her Little Sister," done in 60 and 90 second versions. I do not believe this one or the others done then were pressed on vinyl. I've read that both of Lesley's songs were written by the team of Neil Sedaka and Howard Greenfield, and their sound fit that completely. As I could not find all three of these on YouTube I put them together in this medley.
