Anyone know where I can find any footage of the old Leadco Vinyl Siding commercials? My wife is from the Memphis area and she wasn't fortunate enough to grow up with Jerry Clower or Ebb doing the Leadco shuffle. And I need to hear "One eight hundred, five three oh seven, six six five" one more time.

Added picture to make is sports related.

Man, thanks for the memory there! Those Saturday (or maybe it was Sunday) afternoon westerns, brought to you by Leadco, were the best way to spend a rainy Saturday while I was growing up. I searched google and came up with nothing. There's a lot of Magic Bait commercials and some Sutherlands and Ambush commercials, but I can't find "Leadco" or "Lead Co." Would like to echo the OP in asking for help to find a video of those commercials.

Jerry was a customer at our shop for years and years. He'd come in and light up a big cigar after leaving the VA visiting patients up there. If the walls could talk.

True story on Jerry. Flying from DFW back to Jackson, as I was boarding noticed Jerry in first row by the widow. Took my seat in second row. A beautiful older lady with a low cut blouse had the seat next to Jerry. She took her time taking her seat and bending over in front of us exposing all. A few minutes, Jerry gets up moves to the seat next to me, says " I can't deal with that."

After scouring the Internet, they’re nowhere that be found. Probably the only place they exist are on some master tapes that have been archived by WLBT, WAPT, etc. Maybe whoever inherited Clower’s estate has access as well. Sure would like to see them one more time. Love me some Jerry Clower.

Jerry Clower was total class. When he was at MSU he was in the same fraeternity as my brother(Class of 1982) but did not talk a lot about it. It was a little upsetting to my brother that Mr Clower did not embrace his fraternity publicly. But in 1990 I was working in McComb and met Mr Clower and told him my brother was fighting leukemia. I did not find out until after Mr Clower's death that he had given $10,000 to help cover some of my brother's medical expenses. Unfortnately my brother passed in 1990, but it ure made him much better in my eyes.

BTW that was the 1980 Sun Bowl... I knew one of the pictured cheerleaders real well...
