  • I am Paul David Wilson and I wrote the music. With the commercial, "Candles," Emma L. Young wrote a very touching lyrics. Inspired, I composed a melody, underneath accompanying chords progression, and then I arranged and produced the music. We did record at Universal Studios, studio A, in Chicago. My music and contribution was, and is, still meaningful to me and hopefully you too. Dr. Martin Luther King, his dreams still lives.

  • @padavon Thank you so much for all the absolutely fanatic information. I have added it to the keywords for easy searching. I did the same for your cowriter.

  • I have a copy, on audio and not visually, of "Candles" :30R, :60R and :90R on DAT. I have to transfer on hard copy. I have archive copies of some of the commercials on TV video on storage in another place. If it is their in storage, I have to arrange the transfer because, in my memory, it's on 1 inch tape. And the machine tape is not standard now.

  • I was the production coordinator on this commercial and proud to have been apart of it ... :o)

  • I'm glad I found the commercial, but you really need to take that crap off of the end of this clip. Not withstanding this clip, in which it's totally out of place, but it's horrible and stupid. I was going to link to this on Twitter and a message board, but I'll pass now. I'll see if I can find another one.

  • I love this commercial....we need to come together

  • I don't know what that crap is at the end... but this is the best commercial ever- to pay tribute to Dr. King.

  • Thank you!
