Do you remember the Lady Clairol commercial from the mid 1960s that asked: "Is it true blondes have more fun?" It showed a blonde and a brunette on the beach in bikinis and the guys are all around the blonde so the brunette changes her hair color and goes back to the beach and the guys swarm around her.

Guess who was singing the high part, the refrain "Is it true.."?

Glen Campbell!

Guess who was singing the low part of "Look at her go, look at her go"?

Leon Russell!
