  • Original demo for a Kodak film ad campaign which was initiated in 1975 and recorded by Vicki Carr. This demo's original length is two minutes.
    Other details:
    Kodak initiated an advertising campaign early in 1975 using a tune 'The Times of Your Life', composed by Roger Nichols (melody) and Bill Lane (lyrics) and sung by Vicki Carr. Paul Anka recorded the song and released it as a single in late 1975 which topped the charts in early 1976.
    ORIGINAL LYRICS:
    Good morning, yesterday
    You wake up and time has slipped away
    And suddenly it's hard to find
    The memories you left behind
    Remember, do you remember?
    The laughter and the tears
    The shadows of misty yesteryears
    The good times and the bad you've seen
    And all the others in between
    Remember, do you remember?
    The times of your life.
    Reach back for the joy and the sorrow
    Put them away in your mind
    For memories are time that you borrow
    To spend when you get to tomorrow.
    Here comes the setting sun
    The seasons are passing one by one
    So gather moments while you may
    Collect the dreams you dream today
    Remember, will you remember?
    The times of your life.
    Times of Your Life lyrics © Roger Nichols Music Inc.

    As a kid in the 70s I remember my Mom taking pictures with her kodak camera. Beautiful memories

    My grandma, the farm, the way we were. My mom is now older than her parents, as is dad. Mom started needing Oxygen. It's all just Kodak pictures now. What are left.

    The irony is that in 1975, this couple were on the verge of their golden years with their son having graduated college- yet had evidently gotten married at the tail end of World War II. Yet, 49 years later, the son would be a retiree- and there are getting to be few folks who personally remember World War II much less having served in it!

    A bittersweet gem. Thank you for the memories from a magical time. I wish we could go back. I prefer the Anka version, the best of all.

    In real life the old couple had to abandon the house for peanuts because the neighborhood got so bad they had no choice.
    Detroit, Chicago, the East Coast sprawl, Los Angeles, Ft Worth, on and on. Beautiful homes and hoods rubble. Only the memories exist. With the CIA and cartels dropping drugs are not the nation
    Lot of Kodak moments like that. In the end Kodak would abandon their workforce also. The Kodak moments.....God help our nation.

    A 2-minute long commercial for Kodak. I wonder what programs this aired on.

    • @oscosavonalumni
      @oscosavonalumni  Місяць тому

      This two minute extended cut was only for internal Kodak meetings.. The one version which initially aired is here: ua-cam.com/video/kVHJwMXlbrw/v-deo.htmlsi=E_lWGvfNCUDdr1vO
      Kodak later used the Paul Anka version for later TV spots.

    I like Paul Anka's version better. It's his song he wrote it. No one does it like Paul Anka.

      Song was composed by Roger Nichols (melody) and Bill Lane (lyrics). I liked the Parul Anka version, but the emotion in Vicki Carr's version with her beautiful voice is unsurpassable. It brings you to tears.

      Hello,
      Nope, Paul Simon did not write the song in this commercial. Paul wrote the Kodachrome (ua-cam.com/video/N4ltLp30KVs/v-deo.html) song - not intended nor ever used in a Kodak commercial!

    • @kevinclark8549
