JEFF CHRISTIE ADVERTISING JINGLES

JEFF Christie has written several advertising jingles throughout his career, although his most recognised one is probably the adaptation of Yellow River to publicise The Yellow Pages, which was used without Jeff's permission.
     Jeff was also approached to write a jingle for Coca Cola back in 1971, but had to decline because of heavy work commitments with the band. Many years later, Jeff would cut an experimental jingle for Coca Cola to include as part of his portfolio.
     Here is a list of some of Jeff's jingles that he has recorded over the years, with samples included for a few of them. Some were commissioned pieces, others were roughs done in Jeff's home.
