In the 60's, Mattel was experimenting with ways to expand the Barbie franchise. We would see a board game (which didn't last long), and, in this spot, a 6 song album, which would today be referred to as an EP.
Charlotte Austin is the singing voice for Barbie. Bill Cunningham has those chores for Ken. Marvin Miller (ex-The Millionaire), the announcer for Matty's Funday Funnies, is the narrator.
Today, this would fetch a pretty penny on eBay. To think that 25 years later, Mattel would bankroll an animated Barbie & The Rockers, and not reference any of this.
