The late Robert Goulet, acclaimed American singer and actor, provides his golden voice to this funny radio commercial for “The Simpsons” TV series. The spot, titled after the singer himself, was written by Walt Jaschek, produced and directed by Paul Fey, for Fox Television and when the show was first launched into national syndication. The campaign of which it was part is now considered the most successful launch of a show in syndication history. Ready to hear the spot? Great. And now: Robert Goulet…

This is also a good copywriting example. Here’s the script.
