Psychedelic Rock, Power Pop The Going Thing was a group assembled by Ford Motor Company in the late 1960s to promote their cars. The group's lineup varied, but included notable session musicians and singers like John and Tom Bahler, Janis Hansen, and Larry Carlton. They released three Ford-centric albums and performed at promotional events. There were actually two groups with the name, one American and one Australian, both put together by Ford. Here's a more detailed breakdown: American Group: This version of The Going Thing was a pre-fab group of session players hired by Ford to promote their youth-oriented ad campaigns. Key Members: Besides the Bahlers, Hansen, and Carlton, other potential members included session singers like Jackie Ward, Sally Stevens, and Gene Morford. Richard and Karen Carpenter were also briefly associated with the group. Focus: The group's music was heavily focused on promoting Ford vehicles, with song titles like "The Warranty Song". They also recorded kitschy versions of popular songs.
