[78-L] A Long Long Time

[soundthink at aol.com]

Was the song "It's Been a Long, Long Time" ever used for a Maxwell House coffee commercial? I seem to recall it, during the '60s or '70s, but can't place the product. Anyone know?

What was funny about the "Mama" commercials was the "poetic license" CBS took 
with the Maxwell House coffee commericals. They had Peggy Wood holding up a 
Maxwell House coffee vacuum sealed can, definitely not around in 1912!

 

I met Ms Wood once at the Sharon CT Playhouse. She was well-removed from the 
Mama persona. Quite a grande dame!

 

BTW Miss Wood's voice in "Sound Of Music" was dubbed, I think by Marnie Nixon.
