"In July 1971, the McCann Erickson advertising agency debuted its ""Hilltop"" spot for Coca-Cola and made advertising history. In the ad, young people from many nations sing that they'd ""like to buy the world a Coke and keep it company."" The song was commissioned for Coke but crossed over and became a bona fide pop hit: A version reached No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on January 15, 1972."
