Ford advert

[Scarlett]

i know the song is The Age of Aquarius, but does anyone know who sings the version on the advert?xx

I know it means that you have to be watching for it but if you have subtitles on loads of ads tell you the song and who it's by in the subtitles

[Scarlett]

That's interesting thanks.

I also saw a previous post with various people saying it was by the Mamas and Papas. I would bet a big cake that it is NOT since I have all their albums and have never heard of them covering that song. I also know it's not the Broadway/Hair version, or the 5th Dimension one.

Hi Scarlett, have a look on this site www.tvadmusic.co.uk according to that it's by Ronald Dyson.

Ronald Dyson, apparently from the 1968 Broadway cast.

Lol - My 4 & 5 year old daughters love that advert and go about singing the tune (they just make the words up) but it is a good song.

Scarlett the just searched on soulseek and the mamas & papes did do a version of it apparently.

[Scarlett]

Ned- I still cannot find this anywhere!! Can you send me a link to it, or to anything that shows that the Mamas and Papas covered Aquarius?

it is mamas and papas, I have all the versions and mama cass's deep voice is definately the Ford advert version
