Some of you may wonder why I call myself Jingleman...so I thought I’d share a 4 minute clip of some jingles I wrote and recorded from the late 70’s through the early 2000’s. The tracks were all created with live musicians along with upgraded electronic keyboards and drum machines...maybe an arranger in there as well. Anyway hope you Enjoy!
Thanks,
Jingleman

Wow! Great work Mitch! You are quite the talent Man! Great originality, energy, and mixes on all these clips! Love the "Beach Boys" sound in the Magic Waters clip. I know that had to be a blast working on these - Wow - sounds like you were in your element - why'd you quit?

Thanks Randy. Business changed and needed health insurance, plus moved to Florida. My brother and I had a difference of opinion as to how the business should run. Anyway...life goes on and if the opportunity comes up to write another jingle...I’m all geared up.

Mitch - totally understand that - one of the reasons I left the military band (which was "almost heaven" while it lasted). Great work!
As we both know, FL is not a bad place to scoot off to.

Great stuff Mitch thank you for sharing. Sounds as good
as any Jingles I hear on TV/Radio today. Get back into it!!

good luck

Thanks Donny...we’ll see what the future holds

That was a hoot, Mitch, very clever.

Thanks Rikki

Good stuff, there Mitch ...
Our niece's husband has been in advertising for years - writing, casting, producing, he's pretty much done it all ... had a couple of spots air during Super Bowls ... but it is a high pressure life ...

Tony, your right about that. The stress of running that business for over 30 years took a toll. I remember being questioned by the Sheriff’s Office when I took that job. They were curious if running my own business would make it difficult to adjust to a stricter schedule. I told them if all I have to do is come to work...do my job...and collect a pay check, I’m in. I didn’t have that for over 30 years. That is stressful.

Mitch, Great work I enjoyed listening. When I think of jingles I can’t help thinking about PAMS the company that produced radio jingles.

Thanks Steve. I seem to remember PAMS, as well TM out of Dallas and Tuesday Productions out of San Diego. They were competition. When we built a fairly large recording studio back in the mid 70’s...little did we know at the time that the digital world would pretty much wipe out the large facilities. Guys were working out of their basements, which made it tough for a commercial facility to survive.

For severals, when in the ad agency biz, I contracted with two guys in Philly who created music beds and custom jingles in the basement of a brownstone. I had access to Pams and TM but not the budgets.

Back in the 60’s and 70’s, Chicago was probably the hot spot for radio and tv jingles. The jingle king was Dick Marx (father of pop star Richard Marx). I remember walking into his Tape library and seeing rows and rows of 2 inch Master tapes with names like Kellogg’s and United Airlines written on the boxes. One of his big ones was “two scoops of raisins in a package of Kellogg’s Raisin Bran”. Even his son, Richard started his career as a jingle singer,”My dog’s bigger than your dog”. His wife, Ruth Marx takes the cake though by singing one word “Quasar”. Netted her a cool 250k.

I do remember that singing with one word, I can still hear it too. Not a bad day’s pay!
