I have so many fond memories of this song from my childhood. I, thank all of you. The key to being rich is not to be rich, just care for everyone in need❤️🙏🏻😎
My father was a trucker for over 30 years and I remember the culture from the mid 70’s! He’s gone now and I miss him terribly! Best father I could have wished for!
So many memories from all the millions of miles I did all over North America. It all started when I was a kid listening to this and had to get a CB radio.
Remember the days movies were made about truckers. Been trucking for 40 years and have 10 to go. Keep On Truckin Truckers 👍🏻. Days of the Convoy are over, but we have to keep going
movies from the late 70's through the 86's Were great, You got Robo-Cop, Smokey and the bandit, Convoy, Top Gun and Dukes of hazard. Most of them were about going against expectations of others and going through a rough patch of life and ending in a good way. I'm glad to see tv before everything went to CGI or Digitally altered media.
I've watched this movie over 100 times just like smokey and the bandit never gets old! I was 5 when this movie was released! Love it! Keep the pedal to the metal good buddy!
I wish Sam Peckinpah's initial two-and-a-half hour version existed before they fired him and edited down to 90 minutes but at this point I'm pretty positive any existing footage from this movie has long been thrown out or destroyed. Studios did not hold onto extra reels like they do now since most everything is digital and I'm not even sure if they still use actual 35mm film cameras anymore
I saw this film at my local cinema way back in 1978 when i was a teenager. Me and my school friends loved it. Listening to this song brings back memories 😊
@@shaunypie99 am just hearing it now boy i wish i could drive this blearting out of the speakers and the traffic jam infront of me clears out for me kris and the convoy speakers load as hell happy new year shaunypie ha ha
@@markrutter2486 yeahhhhhhh thank you sooooo mucH. i don't know what era you are from, but I was 70's and 80's and nothing beats it yet 😄 Keep rockin' y'all...
Big 10-4 to this iconic relic of trucker's Golden Age. So many beautiful cabovers and landscapes -- in the 80s this movie made me not only a fan but also longing to become trucker, too. Ok, life gave me another path of working but still truckers are part of my heart. THANKS to all of you staying 10-8 24/7 mile by mile.
Да. Возможно,это легенда для дальнобойшиков,где показывли фильм. Хороший фильм. Лет в 10 в кинотеатре посмотрел.))) Вот,теперь иногда смотрю в интернете.)))
Watching this video in the sleeper of a semi truck in Wyoming while snowing outside. I saw this movie in the theater in '78 for the first time. I got into trucking years later at 50. Don't regret the dozen years, but like so many other things, govt regs and corporate greed have sucked the fun out of it..
While I'm not a trucker I am on the road quite a bit. Saw a new Mack with that flat black paint and a duck as the hood ornament. Just awesome! This is one of my favorite movies. Each of my children have watched this multiple times on their own.
MACK-это огромнейший красивый корабль. Это сила. Очень хороший автомобиль. У нас,в России пока таких нет. Ну,если только Краз. И то.Он не предназначен на такие длинные перевозки.
I can't remember when but my dad (back in the very old days) used to copy all kinds of movies on to VHS tapes and Convoy was one of those movies. Convoy was (and still is) one of the greatest movies I've ever seen. In my mind back then: ''Fights were cool, trucks were cool, messing around with the cops was cool...¨. Enough rabble babble from my part.... Rest easy Kris Kristofferson (Rubber Duck). Now you are free to roam wherever you want across the US.
Best version (choir has balls, Chip's genius is on full display with those piano strings hitting hard, dynamics open wide), and a great quality audio encoding This is GLORY
I loved the film in my childhood. Every time I visited my grandparents, my grandfather had to put the film (VHS) in^^. That was the early/mid 80s. RIP Kris Kristofferson (Rubber Duck)🧡🦆
Make sure to treasure those memories as long as you can. I used to watch this movie alot when I was a kid. May Kris Kristofferson rest in unbothered sleep 🙏🏻
I remember being with my Dad whilst he was in negotiating buying a new boat listening this to this on the radio (1975) in Fremantle, Western Australia. It's one of the few memories I have of my Dad..., even though he wasn't there at the time. (He wouldn't of like it anyway). 😆 Nearly 50 years later, I can still remember that feeling of the song. 🥰
This movie put the love of the road and trucking in me. I drive log truck because it's easy money that keeps me home. My heart is broken, rest well Kris
i am Austrian, German speaking and born in 1970. As a youth in the mit 1980s i really loved the movie and watched it several times on VHS. Like it up to date and the music, lyrics and the jokes. Sad the movie is hardly presented today and it seems the next generations know nothing about it.
Hallo wir haben uns damals auf VHS Kopie angesehen 😊 mit Röhren tv bin 65 geboren war damals bei Freunden hat mich geprägt..,so etwas glaube ich gibt es nicht mehr schade LG Andreas 😅
As a 🇨🇦Canadian🇨🇦 kid growing up in the 70’s … I thought being a trucker was one of the coolest jobs out there. Especially when “BJ and the Bear” was on TV.
I was ten years old and obsessed with trucks when I saw this. We were in Shakey Town with a day to kill before a flight home to NZ. Me and mom went to this film and watched it 3 times over I was so happy and she was happy to nod off for a few hours - it was too hot outside to do anything - suited me fine I loved this movie! Seeing all the actors again after all these years - its like another world now.
i saw it with 13, our European trucks looked to different and still do... sometimes i drive a truck at my firm, because i am the only one with a license for that... and i am also the only one who can drive a tank ( thx for the draft ) but i never wanted to become a trucker, i drive around in Europe on my motorbike... a real one, not HD crap!
When this movie came out my daddy took me to see it while my mom was shopping. And the best part was we got to set through it twice..LOL! For weeks all I could say was Rubber Ducky, Rubber Ducky anytime someone spoke to me! Miss you Daddy! ❤
@@Lionn8563 At the time (late 70s) it was a nationwide fad with new lingo, music and movies like Smokey and the Bandit and Convoy. It was, to most non-truckers, a novel way to fight back against the new 55 mph speed limit and the scourge of radar. There was a boom in the radar detector market. And it introduced a lot of drivers to the American big truck culture. My long distance driving days are over and the interstates are so crammed now compared to the 70s that cross-talk with endless columns of 18 wheelers seems pointless.
This was my favorite film for me and my late father because he was a British truck driver and the song was played at his funeral and Teddy Bear's last ride. I've got the movie on DVD but I did add it on video but lost it. R.I.P CW Mcall 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🇬🇧🇺🇲🇬🇧🇺🇲🇬🇧🇺🇲🇬🇧🇺🇲😪😪😪😪😪
Sehr geil 👍 Dieser Film hat mich geprägt irgendwie 😂🥰 Ich bin 1979 geboren, also nach dem Film, dennoch ein Teil meiner Kindheit. Haben den Film so oft gesehen, ich liebe diesen Film, die Schauspieler und besonders den Truck ❤
Brings back great memories of when i still hauled cattle and it wasnt nothin for a bunch of us to get together and head west and be 10 or so runnin nose to tail
One night 15-20 years ago I had 3 bull racks pass me so close together you couldn't put a cow sideways between them. Went by me like I was setting still. I was doing 70 mph.
My big wish is that someday they'd revisit this movie and give us the movie a more sober Sam Peckinpah would've given us. Legend has it he shot enough footage for three films but once he was fired and the studio took over, they hacked the film to pieces, re-shot a bunch of scenes and simplified the movie to the point that it really has no story. Any of the socio-political stuff was cut, The Duck's backstory was cut, several scenes explaining why Ernest Borgnines' character was such an asshole was cut.... It almost got the Two-Lane Blacktop treatment. Would love to see the stuff Peckinpah shot.
This film is a cult! I was a truck driver did midle east transports in the 80s! RIP Ernest, Burt...🙏 Duell, Smokey and the Bandit, White lane fever, High ballin, black dog.... loved all of them😛
My fil was a truck driver all his life and at one point he was in a Coma in the hospital but we could see him even in a coma driving his Semi with his body movements. Anna In Ohio
My perfect road song, to be blasted from the radio of the car when I am driving down the highway, no matter where, but it has to be at noon on the 7th of June. 😊
C.W. McCall was William Fries, a commercial artist and musician who worked in advertising. He created C.W. McCall for an Old Home Bread advertising campaign in the early '70s. He wrote the lyrics and sang the song heard in the ad, while Chip Davis, who worked for the same ad firm, wrote the music. (Davis founded the group Mannheim Steamroller in 1974.) The ad was a hit and won a Clio Award, leading to more ads and a series of C.W. McCall singles and albums. "Convoy" was his biggest hit, but he had 5 other singles reach the top twenty or better on the country charts. He died in 2022.
Ali MacGraw in the thumbnail of this video is just gorgeous. (2023 Edit: Just noticed the thumbnail has now been updated to Rubber Duck 😂 Well it used to be Ali as she appears in Raphael’s Silver Cloud, shortly before the fight breaks out. LOL)
No doubt!!! Had to watch the movie on my Roku! Good cast and of course Ali graces her beautiful self all over that screen!! Forgot Sam Peckinpah directed that flick. Been awhile since I saw it which was probably at a movie theater.
Please can we have THIS version on Spotify???? key points, not only is this version the best, but key lyrics in this are far better than the originals on Spotify; "Love Machine", "Bull Dog Mack with a can on the back", "Big Nasty" etc..............
спустя годы -- фильм без сюжета похож на один большой тупорылый комикс...для наивных дурачков в СССР, в США его мало кто смотрел, ибо бред сивой кобылы. За наезд на полицейского и не исполнение требования властей их бы там по крошили в мелкую капусту и замели под коврик.
@@igord1740 Простите, вам имя режиссера "Сэм Пекинпа" ничего не говорит, вот прямо от слова "вообще"? :) Тогда просто справочная информация. "Конвой", который, как вы уверяете, "в США мало кто смотрел", в 1978 году собрал у себя на родине 45 миллионов долларов и занял таким образом девятое место по продажам. Чтоб было, с чем сравнить: первое место взял "Бриолин", "Супермен" третье, "Челюсти-2" пятое. На всякий случай повторю: это строго национальный бокс-офис. Теперь про тупой комикс и бред сивой кобылы: фильм позиционировался как экшен-комедия, и снят на основе текста песни в стиле кантри 75-го года. Круче него в этом смысле наверное только "Battleship", снятый по игре "Морской бой" :) Теперь внимание, вопрос: мне, чтобы найти информацию по продажам "Конвоя" в США, хватило десяти секунд, а вам, чтобы выставить себя невеждой - полминуты, не меньше. Вам не кажется, что узнать правду тупо _быстрее_ и _легче_, чем писать в комментах ерунду? Не сочтите за оскорбление.
@@Jeanie363034 CB short for Citizen Band two way radio. The first had 23 channels, but 77 they had 40 channels. High end had "side bands" channels between normal channels so a 40 channel could have 120 channels. But very few had side band CB. If you were not around then, they were kind of like a cell phone, but you could only talk to people close to you. Channel 19 was a channel people kept tuned to. And 10 codes were used, something similar to police radio code.
R.I.P. The God Of Convoy has passed away...I've spend this legend a little tribute video. Now he rides with Burt Reynolds and Jerry Reed on the most beautiful and endless highway in heaven, under God's grace. Farewell, old boy.
My dad loved Ernest Bordnine. Any movie he was in we had to watch. We saw him one time at the airport in West Palm Beach 77 of 78. This was a big movie when it came out.
I've also watched this film several times in my childhood. The " Convoy" was very popular in Soviet Union as well. It was officially released in cinemas.

And THAT`S what our whole Family will watch now🥰
I agree 100%. It got me into trucking and then I realized I was not rebel enough.

Seriously...These two movies were my childhood...I watched both of them countless times one after another...Love them both.
@James Noble it was supposed to be over 2 hours? That's disappointing they made it 90
100 Times? I prefer porn movies.
From watching the dukes of Hazzard and Smokey and the bandit I think convoy wins my most favorite movie ever
I saw this film at my local cinema way back in 1978 when i was a teenager. Me and my school friends loved it. Listening to this song brings back memories 😊
Я за 20 копеек посмотрел данный фильм, сейчас от клипа аж мурашки.
I was 11 years old in 1978 when I saw this movie in theaters.
I saw this at a drive-in in 1979. Good times
In short -- a masterpiece of filmed entertainment. This film will never get old.
It must have inspired the Canadian Freedom Convoy of 2022.
Peckinpah was a true great
One of my favorite 70's movies. I was 6 when this came out. Long live the Rubber Duck and his big, black, and beautiful Mack truck!
Absolutely I born ‘77 love the since I was little boy….the American 🇺🇸 Trucks are so beautiful 🤩 Germany hasn’t this beautiful trucks
Hollywood was so different back then. I hate to imagine if they made Convoy today how it would turn out.
I turned 11 years old in 1978 when the movie came out, saw the movie at the drive-in in 1978.
even in 2022 this song is still a beautiful walk down memory lane, that movie defined my childhood love every part of it

Yup, Pops was a diesel Mechanic for Holt Bros in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Got diesel in the blood!!!
Now , he rides in he SKY, thank you for all
As the son of a long-haul trucker growing up in the '80s this movie and the song were among my favorites.
Thanks Bill and Chip for the childhood memories. A rubber ducker for life!

Escape from New York.
Pure 100% classics!
But quite unthinkable in todays hollywood...
What about highballin with Jerry reed in it
Absolutely 💯 percent!!!!
Convoy saw the movie and even through its a old movie I love the song and the movie too.
I drove for a few years and yep... being in a convoy is an un forgettable ride ride....
Just watched the film a few days ago, RIP Kris. 🖤💙🖤💙🖤

I remember way back then! I met my husband on the CB radio! Good times they were! Such a good movie it was!
My sister first got a CB Radio from RadioShack because of her first boyfriend, and I met my first boyfriend through that CB.
Keep that shinny side up and that greasy side down! - 🚚🚚🚚🚛🚛🚒🚒, cause we got us a CONVOY!
The CB radio era was a blast... getting those Smokey Bear reports from the truckers while traveling to Florida in the late 70's.
Why are u acting like its ended?

Americana.
Wasn't some time after this movie that the powers that be made a law no more than 3 or so together. No more convoys.

Never gets old .👍👍👍
I’d forgotten how gorgeous Allie McGraw was . What a Babe!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Sure was !!!!
She was married to Steve McQueen.
"We trucked all day, we trucked all night..." Could be metaphoric.;-)
Love Story. Very profane. But that face speaks an entire story without saying a word.

"Convoy" was his biggest hit, but he had 5 other singles reach the top twenty or better on the country charts. He died in 2022.
Early 80’s NE England 🏴 every time I went to my grandparents they’d put this on for me ❤
This has a deeper meaning now during these totalitarian days of the 4th Carter Administration.
My childhood, which I hope I will never forget.
Ali MacGraw in the thumbnail of this video is just gorgeous.
(2023 Edit: Just noticed the thumbnail has now been updated to Rubber Duck 😂 Well it used to be Ali as she appears in Raphael’s Silver Cloud, shortly before the fight breaks out. LOL)
Thank you. VERY much agree!!!
Haunting and Angie Harmon makes her hard to forget also.
No doubt!!! Had to watch the movie on my Roku! Good cast and of course Ali graces her beautiful self all over that screen!! Forgot Sam Peckinpah directed that flick. Been awhile since I saw it which was probably at a movie theater.
Please can we have THIS version on Spotify???? key points, not only is this version the best, but key lyrics in this are far better than the originals on Spotify; "Love Machine", "Bull Dog Mack with a can on the back", "Big Nasty" etc..............
This film was released in the USSR and was a huge success. I was still in school then)))
я тоже тогда учился в школе,это был хит!
Во время проката я за компанию 4 раза умудрился посмотреть.
@@МихаилМеньшиков-б4у , тоже не раз. А сколько, точно и не вспомню уже)
спустя годы -- фильм без сюжета похож на один большой тупорылый комикс...для наивных дурачков в СССР, в США его мало кто смотрел, ибо бред сивой кобылы. За наезд на полицейского и не исполнение требования властей их бы там по крошили в мелкую капусту и замели под коврик.
@@igord1740 Простите, вам имя режиссера "Сэм Пекинпа" ничего не говорит, вот прямо от слова "вообще"? :)
Тогда просто справочная информация. "Конвой", который, как вы уверяете, "в США мало кто смотрел", в 1978 году собрал у себя на родине 45 миллионов долларов и занял таким образом девятое место по продажам. Чтоб было, с чем сравнить: первое место взял "Бриолин", "Супермен" третье, "Челюсти-2" пятое. На всякий случай повторю: это строго национальный бокс-офис.
Теперь про тупой комикс и бред сивой кобылы: фильм позиционировался как экшен-комедия, и снят на основе текста песни в стиле кантри 75-го года. Круче него в этом смысле наверное только "Battleship", снятый по игре "Морской бой" :)
Теперь внимание, вопрос: мне, чтобы найти информацию по продажам "Конвоя" в США, хватило десяти секунд, а вам, чтобы выставить себя невеждой - полминуты, не меньше. Вам не кажется, что узнать правду тупо _быстрее_ и _легче_, чем писать в комментах ерунду?
Не сочтите за оскорбление.
till today and for years, still one of my favourite movie and song🥰
The 70s - what a time to be a kid.... I was 14 when the song hit the top of the charts. Rushed to Radio shack and got me a 40 channel.
10-4 Good Buddy
I had a 24 channel, also from Radio Shack.
10-4.
40 channel in 1970 ?
@@Jeanie363034
The 70's. Not 1970.
@@Jeanie363034 CB short for Citizen Band two way radio.
The first had 23 channels, but 77 they had 40 channels. High end had "side bands" channels between normal channels so a 40 channel could have 120 channels. But very few had side band CB.
If you were not around then, they were kind of like a cell phone, but you could only talk to people close to you.
Channel 19 was a channel people kept tuned to. And 10 codes were used, something similar to police radio code.
R.I.P. The God Of Convoy has passed away...I've spend this legend a little tribute video. Now he rides with Burt Reynolds and Jerry Reed on the most beautiful and endless highway in heaven, under God's grace. Farewell, old boy.
I'm watching your tribute thanks friend for the condolences he will be missed
What a Classic Truck Movie!
My dad loved Ernest Bordnine. Any movie he was in we had to watch. We saw him one time at the airport in West Palm Beach 77 of 78. This was a big movie when it came out.
R..I.P. Kris Kristofferson and I have always loved your music 🎶 and of course the movies you've stared in!!!

The " Convoy" was very popular in Soviet Union as well. It was officially released in cinemas.
