“Is it real or is it Memorex” is one of those marketing lines used in Memorex audio cassette tapes television commercials from the 1970’s and 1980’s that has left a lasting imprint in the minds of those of us who saw the commercials featuring jazz singing legend Ella Fitzgerald…..as she demonstrated breaking a crystal glass with her extended high note recorded on Memorex audio cassette tapes….for this was very effective advertising….as seen in the video herewith…..along with a commercial pitch for the US Navy….where you can “see the world”…..plus a movie promo for the 1979 film The Bermuda Triangle….. which came out at a time when boats and planes were disappearing at sea in and around what is known as the Bermuda Triangle in the South Atlantic Ocean.
