Billy Taylor wrote the tune and his instrumental version was the theme music for "Film Night" that was shown on the BBC 20-30 years ago. I've never heard the lyrics before, nice stuff

BBC still use the same instrumental today on Film 2017

The actor Bryan Cranston is the voice over on the commercial. That's neat that Ford had him do it.

It's a cool commercial and it isn't even about performance. It's about the things Ford is up to. They show an EV, an autonomous vehicle &, of course, ends with the NGT!

I like the song "I Wish I Knew How I Would Feel To Be Free" & it is on my iPhone & sung by one of my favorites, John Legend. However, the 1967 version on the commercial is sung by Nina Simone. I know when I drive my GT I feel free.

Take my word for it - there a lot of people out there driving that shouldn't. Those cars are made for them! Safer for all!

I wish.... That ship has sailed. Only hope is enough of a cult following where cars like the 911r continue to be produced...

I like the commercial. Certainly much better than the Chevrolet marketing plan of putting boring cars in exciting rooms.

Can't believe I'm saying this....... I liked Kia (save the world)or the Honda (year book) more than the Buick.

Perhaps FMC can get these advertising folks on board too! There is youtube on the making of it.( Quality camerawork, Lots of computer animation it seems.)
