70s Spots: Foster Grant Sunglasses (Johnny Bench) & Gabriel Shocks (Roger Miller, 1974)

Posted on by

It’s Johnny Bench behind those Foster Grants.

“The looks, the lens – we’ve got it all.”

Here’s two good celebrity spots from 1974 for your Saturday. First, we find Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame’r Johnny Bench for Foster Grant sunglasses. The commercial aired in October of ’74.

After that, Roger “King of the Road” Miller for the interestingly-named, Gabriel “hi jackers” Shocks. The commercial aired in December of ’74.

Miller is one of my favorite recording artists and if you haven’t explored his humorous and unique musical back-catalog, I highly recommend it. I’m a late-comer to Miller’s genius, having only gotten wise about three or four years back. But that’s one of the great things about art and entertainment – it’s usually never too late to catch on and catch up!
