CW McCall ended up doing some pretty bizarre videos toward the end of his career, as revealed in the past Convoy thread.

Ok, we know from todays threads that you were wilder in the 90s. Now we find that you were what, geeky in the 70s? Were you a closet Leif Garrett or Donny Osmond fan as well?

Actually the record belonged to my dad...I found it a bit after 1975... I got think it was the 80's when I started listening to it.

Just how many times did you give this record a whirl?

It got played so much back then that to this day I'd turn the dial if it were to come commercial radio.

I whirled it a few times....I was alive(very little) when it was popular but I don't remember hearing it played....I got over it fairly fast.

I have the whole C.W. McCall album with Convoy on it.  I used to listen to it a lot and liked all the songs.  Convoy was probably my least favorite song on the album.

I have the movie. For some odd reason it still gives me a woodie. Drove truck for a few years and always have a bug in the back of my head nagging me to go back to it.

CW McCall was born not far from here in Iowa.   CJ5 with a 4 Wheel Drive has a lot of local places and names in it.  The Nishnabotna is a great little river.  Both of them.
