I found an interesting video clip on Youtube earlier today. Its a commercial from 1996 for Rite Aid. It seems that the background tune sounds almost EXACTLY like Better Than Nothing by Trammell Starks. It's interesting because I had been having a memory of a commercial from about that time that had a background tune that sounded like Trammell, but I thought it was a Sprint commercial, not Rite Aid.
Anyway, take a listen for yourself:

Now, you have the best chance to listen in the first few seconds, as after that vocals come in as does a narrator. Does that not sound like Trammell? :thinking:
-
Yeah that definitely sounds a lot like Fair Weather, except the beat is a bit slower.
-
Yeah it sounds almost exactly like it but slowed down. Weird.
-
I agree
-
Wow, that definitely sounds like Trammell. :blink:
-
I just sent in a request in the form of a comment on their Site, and I am hoping they can ID the song (I included the Vid URL)
-
Whilst I'm very happy that you did that, I seriously have doubts about them being able to tell us anything. That commercial is 12 years old! :biggrin:
-
It sounds like Trammell indeed. Trammell first released his music in 1996, which is the same date of that commercial's airdate.
-
And, according to my CDs, his music was published in 1995.
-
That did sound just like his song :yes:
-
Sounds exactly like Fair Weather,but slowed down. I think they could have slowed the song down.
-
If that's not Trammell it's one heckuva coincidence.
-
Sorry for the bump but can someone email trammell and tell him if that's his song?
-
I thought someone did? Or maybe that was Rite Aid they contacted? But yeah, it'd be neat if someone could contact Trammell about this. :yes:
-
I could do it for you, but IDK his email
-
IDK his email
This information is not allowed to be posted here. It is private. I will PM it to you.

Has Someone Contacted Trammell yet?

Interesting. Looks like they've taken down this video. :no:
This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by RiteAid

Well that's just great, the video had copyright claimed by Rite Aid? Since when would Rite Aid care? :dunno:
