George, I also remember this song being used by an airline -- had not known that it was United Airlines. I probably had heard the song playing through my dear mother's ever-present kitchen counter radio -- WJR 760 AM out of Detroit.
Hit song from the 1959 musical stage play "Take Me Along" (based on Eugene O'Neill's 1933 play "Ah, Wilderness"). Starred Jackie Gleason and Walter Pidgeon. BTW, that's the group's leader Ray Charles wearing the airline pilot's hat & uniform near to bottom of the stairway.
I remember when this was a commercial for United Airlines.
Thank you for posting Take Me Along.

Yes George and that ad is uploaded here on UA-cam. It was directed by the late Michael Cimino.

United mailed out a 45 or 33 1/3 record of this to all f the employees back in '68.
Thanks for post, haven't heard this in decades.

Yes. It made two lists in Record World: "Coming Up" and "Non-Rock".
The single was released in 1967.
