Convoy, the film from 1978 was based on this song from 1976. How many songs have that going for them? - They were so good they got turned into a film?!
The story of C.W.McCall is a strange one. While working as a creative for an ad agency in 1974, Bill Fries created a character called C.W.McCall who featured in a television advert as a trucker.
He then started writing songs for the character and had huge hit records like this number one and a whole slew of albums. Bizarre.
Convoy also had loads of CB slang which I love...
C.W.McCall - Convoy
Nice! My Dad left me one of these albums amongst his very varied LP collection... so classic!!
