Lou Rawls for Budweiser. (‘Jet’ magazine, August 17, 1978)
“When I’m easin’ into evening, one beer does it best.”
You’ll remember Lou Rawls many Bud commercials on TV. Here’s a lesser-seen print version. Daily 70s Ad #215: Lou Rawls for Budweiser originally appeared in the August 17, 1978 issue of Jet magazine.

As I suspected, there is a commercial that goes along with this ad as well:

And even a different song and ad on Johnny Carson!
Hi Mark,
Yep, I posted the ad on YouTube sometime back & linked to the spot at the bottom of this post. Rawls did a good number of Bud spots in the 70s. Cool find with the Carson vid. =)
Thanks!
