Merry Christmas From The Hillside Singers -SEALED LP Vinyl Record Metromedia ‘72

Merry Christmas From The Hillside Singers - Holiday gold from 1972! This is a vintage vinyl LP record in unopened/sealed condition. See photos for the track listing. The Hillside Singers were an American folk group created by ad agency McCann Erickson to sing the jingle "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing (In Perfect Harmony)" for Coca-Cola in a television commercial. McCann Erickson had sought to have The New Seekers sing it, but that group could not fit the project into their schedule and turned it down, so producer Al Ham put together a group of singers for the project (including his wife, Mary Mayo, and their daughter Lorri). The commercial began airing in July 1971 and was extremely popular, convincing Ham to rewrite the song as "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing" and to record an album and a Christmas record.
