Flashback To Randy Travis’ 1993 Coca-Cola Commercial

You know and love Randy Travis for his impressive country music pipes — but do you remember when he was a straight-up stud in a 1990s Coke commercial?

The tune featured in the video below was written by Travis himself, who said he was flabbergasted at the amount of work and manpower it takes to film a quick, one-minute-long commercial.

Of the shoot, Travis said, “I didn’t realize the time and effort that went into doin’ a 60-second commercial. It took three days to film a 60-second commercial. And I don’t know how many times we shot each scene.”
