Has he been in the RADD(Recording Artists,Actors,& Atheletes Against Drunk Driving) like commercials or Stop The Aids Epidemic commercials ya know stuff like that?

There was a rare commercial that featured P singing LRC , it was for the new Chey conv. truck. It was from the Sign O times movie. P musta yanked it fast, it wasnt around long. anyone else c this? "It aint me, its da tea"

I remember Tina Turner doing an ad for Target (?) singing some Prince song...
Baby, I'm A Star (?)

Prince was all over print ads last year for Chevy's Little Red Corvette anniversary.
Actually, it was just some lyrics to LRC....still cool.

Prince wrote "Uh Huh", gave it to Ray Charles, who in turn used it in the famous
Pepsi commercials.

Prince reportedly wrote a Coca-Cola jingle...(Always Coca-Cola?)

I don't think Prince has officially been in any commercials. But "Baby I'm a Star" was sung by Tina Turner for Target. And FOX Japan is using a techno-esque cover of "I Would Die 4 U" on its new show promo spots.

he wasn't in the commercials, but he wrote the Uh-Huh! song Ray Charles sang in the diet pepsi commercials.

There were those Prince spaghetti (sauce?) commercials during the PR era that quickly got yanked.

Prince sued, claiming the pasta company was cashing in on his fame...lol, this
company had been around WAY BEFORE Prince was conceived. Oh silly man.

I only remember PRINCE actually being in that chevy commercial singing LRC. It was around for awhile but on channels like CNBC, not much on mainstream tv.

Does anyone remeber(1985) the Fruity Pebbles commercial with Barney Rubble imitating Prince on the motocycle?

I remember seeing this too . . . it was the SOTT-movie clip of LRC . . . they also played a couple other Chevy-related songs (like American Pie) . . .

There were Emancipation commercials that ran in 1996, right around Christmas time.

Yeah I saw a Billboard on the highway for a Corvette Ad with a quote from prince which was just his lyrics from Little Red Corvette

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
commercial 4 the Album

Yeah, saw that one, I started a thread about it wayyy back, I think maybe last year.

Prince never sued anyone over this. His management team, at the time, asked the noodle company to stop making their commercial look like an advertisement for a Prince concert. They may have threatened to sue, I don't know.

Prince didn't know anything about it until after the fact and thought the commercial was funny.

Oops.... I went off topic. Prince has never been in a commercial, ever. His music may have been used whether directly from one of his recordings or a cover by someone else, but I'm sure the owner of those masters were behind all of that.

Prince's image may have been used in commercials, like the trailers to his movies, or the "Best Of Prince" CD, but he himself has never been seen pitching anything. The trailer for Purple Rain, never showed him saying: "hey, come see me in Purple Rain."

Okay thanx ya'll. Yea I imagine many commercials use his music or his 'likeness' in them..hmm.. he should be in a commercial as hisself or playin' sumbody(witta big role) If Prince did decide 2 start bein' in commercials what kind would ya'll like 2 see him in?
