    Terrific song writer. So talented. Convoy really took off. C.W. McCall will be greatly missed.

    Interesting props.. An Oscilloscope, a frequency counter, what looks like an old radio shack police scanner, a CB mic.. but no CB..

      @tekvax01 4 года назад +2

      yeah, fairly cringe-worthy banter now in 2020, but the freq counter had Nixie tubes, so it gets a pass!
      one of my favourite childhood songs from back in the day, however!

      If it weren't for the fact that that was CB equipment, I'd swear that was something you'd see in Rampart on the old tv show Emergency.

    *I wonder whether this was Season 1* of _Pop Goes the Country_? Don't remember hearing the Statlers in the overture. Bill Fries bringing up some laboratory instruments for TV performance of:
    *CONVOY / C.W. McCALL*
    *ROUND THE WORLD WITH THE RUBBER DUCK / C.W. McCALL*
    Both Songs by William D. Fries Jr. and Bernard F. Davis Jr. - American Gramaphone, SESAC
    wasn't a particular surprise for the era. My dream films about the Rubber Duck would be new scripts in line with the original song stories plus a new one co-written with the Leylands taking place after the survivors of the Atlantic crossing leave Japan, ideally co-produced by GMI Entertainment and released by Universal Pictures; the first: "Convoy: The 100,000-Mile Truck Drive, Part I," would begin in industrial Los Angeles near the San Pedro city limit before the Duck (ideal castmember: Aaron Tippin) picks up a 54' Thermo-King® reefer full of foodstuffs bound for New York City.

    Thank you so much for sharing this video. There are so few videos of CW Mccall live, the interview part is the best, it is always nice to see an artist when he isn't singing. Thanks again

    The handle is PIG PEN...Not Big Pen's.....And for your second question...It is Jerry Reed and Chet Adkins...I can name most of the stars on the opening credits...Marty Robbins, Jerry Reed, Chet Adkins, Barbera Mandrel,but the man and woman at the beginning and the guy playin guitar setting on the stool escapes me...And of course The Statler Brothers singing the theme.
