The Wiz was mentioned way upthread, remember looking for a video but couldn’t pick one that seemed canonical.

So it is, as well it should be. Not sure how I missed that. I couldn't find a video that seemed canonical, either.

Like they all seemed from too late in the game, all the ones I could find anyway.

Don’t remember this place having TV ads but posting this link anyway. Seem to remember it lasting longer than this date.https://www.nytimes.com/1977/11/27/archives/jimmys-music-world-scratched-high-hopes-of-jimmys-music-world.htmlDid find this Korvettes ad though, which I don’t remember, but it does seem to accurately represent the store:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7i5KdtfJM8

There are a couple of early ones on Youtube now but they're not representative samples. This one has the older jingle, the later jingle I had in mind was more ostentatious. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gc0LZGOoFSA

Korvette's was before my time. I remember the site of the Douglaston Pkwy location as Toys R Us and its record department as Movie World. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2Kc-7CYvTo

I’m still stuck on the Dagostino one. I remember as a kid on Long Island thinking that it was such a real city supermarket. Years later I transferred to NYU and was housed in a midtown hotel during my first semester. The day I moved in my mom took me to a Dagostino to get groceries and I remember thinking - Wow I really live in the city now! Lol.

This is interesting: https://www.nytimes.com/1976/08/24/archives/advertising-rca-shifts-color-tv-strategy.html
Many spokesmen on radio and TV commercials have become celebrities, particularly when they are the principal owners of the businesses they talk about. If you don't believe it, catch the “Midday Live!” program on Channel 5 today at 11:30 A.M.For in addition to what may be considered typical talk show guests—such as Rita Moreno and Jerry Stiller of the new film, “The Ritz”—five “stars” of the world of commercials are slated to appear. They are Frank Perdue of Perdue Inc., Tom Carvel of the Carvel Corporation, Sam Goody of the recordstore chain bearing his name, Leo Wiser of the Automobile Club of America and Sy Syms of Syrns clothiers.What's the story?

I guess that’s supposed to start with “Oh” and I can’t find any intranetz reference to the second part but it seemed to bubble up from some deep cranial fold and out through the brainwaves.
