On this day in 1972 {January 22nd} the Hilltop Singers performed "I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing" on the late Dick Clark's 'American Bandstand'... Two months earlier on November 27th, 1971 it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; eventually it peaked at #13 and spent 12 weeks on the Top 100... Was written by McCann Erickson as a 'Coca-Cola' commercial... Also covered in 1971 by The New Seekers; their version reached #7 on the Top 100... R.I.P. Mr. Clark {1929 - 2012}...12 years ago

This song came first. It was produced by David MacKay. David also arranged it. The Coca Cola commercial made it even more famous. David is a dear friend and musical genius.13 years ago

@gospelfan65 I would think this song came first & Coke bought the rights to use it with their CokaCola lyrics.13 years ago
