Sometimes, you never know what will become a hit. In the late 1980’s the California Raisin Advisory Board created a hit commercial of anthropomorphic raisins that sang old Rhythm & Blues. Actually, it was a phenomenon, which spawned a TV show, merchandise and even a video game. Who knew that a cover “Heard it Through the Grapevine” could do so well?
