Shtick: The ads used Ray Charles’ musical prowess to advantage and portrayed him singing “You Got the Right One, Baby, Uh Huh.” He played a piano while surrounded by dancing models. The song’s title became the drink’s slogan. The ads also showed shots of Charles drinking the Pepsi or the can resting on the piano.
Fun Fact: Ray Charles did Coca-Cola ads back in the mid-60s.
