The Soundtrak of Our Lives: Linda Soundtrak’s Enduring Okie Appeal

9:48 AM EDT on June 6, 2019

During the 1980s and 1990s, OKC was deluged with numerous memorable commercials—many of which are still unparalleled today—from Tall Paul Auto Insurance to the Credit Jewelers cowboy. When I think back on it, however, few had a spokesperson that many Oklahoman’s remember with as much fondness and irritancy as Linda Soundtrak.

With a deafening appeal, in a time well before Best Buy or Circuit City, Linda Soundtrak mostly gained her local celeb-status by announcing the rock-bottom deals and insane low-prices in the beloved salespitches of the long-gone and much-missed Soundtrak home entertainment stores, often times in a comical-enough scenario where she was parodying a popular movie or taking some part in an area event.
