Gene Wilder, singing "Pure Imagination", from the soundtrack of the movie Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
If I am thinking of the same commercial you are, then the song is "Pure Imagination" featured in the 1971 Film, Willy Wonka and the Choclate Factory.
The song in the commercial (the one that says "remember when you were 5? Happy 5th birthday) is called "Pure Imagination" that was in the original Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory movie.
"Pure Imagination" from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971)
AT&T Birthday The song is Pure Imagination From Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
I was told the song in the AT&T wireless commercial comes from the movie "Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory" with Gene WIlder. Actually, Lenny Spinella sang the song. But rest assured. Those who recognized Gene's voice were kind of on the money. Lenny is Gene's first cousin and they grew up together. Their voices sound a lot alike, but Lenny filled in for Gene on the recording date, as Gene was sick with the flu.
That's "Pure Imagination" from the soundtrack of "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" 1971.
