Description: This reel of advertisements for Texas Electric features a chorus of young women singing a jingle named “People Power”. The reel includes several iterations of the ad, some leaving only instrumental music mid-jingle, presumably for a voiceover about the company. “When you flip that switch at any hour, what comes on is People Power . . . You live better, Texas, electrically!”
