Here is an unopened quart bottle of COTTON CLUB GINGER ALE with Big Ginger on the label accompanied by the jingle I had recorded off tv on an old audio cassette from the early 1970's. Brings back the memories. Thanks for watching and listening!

  • How well I remember this sexist ad...it wasn't exactly subtle, was it, guys? "Big Ginger" insisting that you take her home so you can see what she'll "do to your thirst." Oh well, Cotton Club wasn't known for being nonoffensive back then. I mean, they sold that classic drink "Cherokee Red" too. (Slogan: "Honest Injun--it's terrific!")

  • @TruWatcher Wow, you make some really interesting points. It's good to know that some things have changed for the better. Thank you for your insightful comments.

  • I vividly remember the HUGE billboard sign on the top of the building that used ot be on the corner of E. 131st and Miles...featuring the Big Ginger ad for Cotton Club Ginger Ale. She had those big hoop eearings and her hair was flowing like the wind was blowing it. Stuck out because here was White Big Ginger sitting in a black neighborhood. But I LOVED her earrings.

  • @MsTexas73 That billboard would have been great to see. Thanks so much for watching this video!

  • @Tracymmo That is fascinating trivia to know. Thanks so much for sharing. Sorry about the delay in response. I am recovering from a stroke. Thanks again!

  • My uncle worked for Cotton Club, and I remember him saying that Ginger was the wife of one of the higher ups.
