Groovy Commercial: NBC's "Brotherhood of Man"


You gotta love NBC's Super Bowl commercial featuring the casts of 30 Rock, The Office, Parks and Recreation, Saturday Night Live and many other shows singing "Brotherhood of Man" from the 1961 Broadway musical, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. And it's also a fitting show tune welcome to the newest member of the NBC family, Smash, which won its time slot last night with over 11 million people tuning in to the series premiere.

Below I've also included a few other performances of the song - Barbra Streisand on The Dinah Shore Chevy Show on May 12, 1963 (with Shore, Georgia Brown, Sam Fletcher and the Chad Mitchell Trio), Robert Morse in the 1967 film version of How to Succeed, Matthew Broderick and Lillias White in the 1995 revival on the Tony Awards, and Daniel Radcliffe in the 2011 revival on the Tony Awards.
