-- Soundtrack from the 1978 Sam Peckinpah film "Convoy," with Kris Kristofferson, Ali MacGraw, Burt Young, Madge Sinclair, Franklin Ajaye, Brian Davies, Seymour Cassel & Ernest Borgnine. - บันเทิง
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 😊
even in 2022 this song is still a beautiful walk down memory lane, that movie defined my childhood love every part of it
Class in its own glass of class
@@markrutter2486 Absolutely 🥰
@@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...
Yeah boy !! I was just 4 years of age when this came out fuck yeah!!😅😭.
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!
He did
so was mine, at his wake a bunch of his trucker buddies arrived
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.
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
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
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
In short -- a masterpiece of filmed entertainment. This film will never get old.
It must have inspired the Canadian Freedom Convoy of 2022.
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.
Convoy, Cannonball Run, Smokey and the bandit: legendary!
Escape from New York.
Pure 100% classics!
But quite unthinkable in todays hollywood...
What about highballin with Jerry reed in it
Absolutely 💯 percent!!!!
i was in 1978 a beginning truckdriver,(and still a Truckdriver) and watch the movie back than (3 times) in the Cinema.
Keep on Trucking 🚛🚛👍👍😊😊
Rest In peace C.W. McCall 1928-2022 may a legend rest in peace you will be missed
10-4 good buddy.
Rip Burt young
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❤️🙏🏻😎
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.
Ali McGraw MY EYES!!!!!!!
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..
My favourite movie of all time growing up as an 80s kid n now an adult still lov it 🇦🇺X🇧🇪
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.
I remember this song playing on the radio when I was a teen. Still gives me a twinge.
Those were the good old days trucking, nowadays it’s hell on the roads, blessings to all the truckers still trucking!
Early 80’s NE England 🏴 every time I went to my grandparents they’d put this on for me ❤
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. 😊
Yeah I agree with ya there, it’s been too many years under the dark of the moon on the 6th of June 😂😂
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.
Another great movie from my childhood
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 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🇬🇧🇺🇲🇬🇧🇺🇲🇬🇧🇺🇲🇬🇧🇺🇲😪😪😪😪😪
Папе светлой памяти! Григорий кубань сам через это прошёл крепись брат.
Wouldn't your ol man be a 'Lorry' driver. God Save the King.👍
God I Remember WE ALL had CB's In house, Cars, trucks! The Whole world was on! Miss that Decade man! Fond Memories...😊😊😊
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.
So true
HOMER SIMPSON PUT ME IN THIS SOUNDTRACK... GREAT!
THANKS HOMO! Doh! 🍾🍷
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.
RIP C.W. McCall, i listened to convoy alot growing up
48 years under the wheel, this brings back lots of memories ;-)
Memories, you say? I hope not such stupid nonsense as in the movie?
Yup, Pops was a diesel Mechanic for Holt Bros in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Got diesel in the blood!!!
Never get bored watching is movie. Remember when it came out in 1978. Great time back in those days.
Ah, I remember when CBs were king in the '70s!
Yes all the trucker movies & trucking tv series of the 70s, there were many, & everybody had cbs, man the good ole days👍✌️
Back in the day dad would crank this up for me. Oh soo long-ago
Ernest Borgnine, Legend
His last movie was RED.
That's Dominic from Airwolf.
@@DuderinoDeux
McHale from Mchale's Navy.
And Cabby from Escape from New York. Ernest just died s couple of years ago, little longer maybe.
He was in his 90's. He was in a lot of movies & TV shows.
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.
@@user-pd2jw3mk4v , 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.
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?
@@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.
RIP C.W. McCall. Over and out
What a Classic Truck Movie!
Great movie, great times, legendary people (and trucks)!
Фильм моего далёкого детства - конец 1980-х годов. Смотрел в кинотеатре "Ударник" в Минске (Белоруссия). Кинотеатр уже давно снесли. Фильм "Конвой" в родном американском прокате провалился меньше 10 миллионов зрителей, но в СССР удачно выстрелил и побил рекорд проката - 35 миллионов кинозрителей! Хотя режиссером числится Сэм Пекинпа большую часть времени съёмок он провёл в своём трейлере, употребляя алкоголь и наркотики. Фильм доснимал его друг Джеймс Коберн со второй группой режиссеров
Мне кажется его крутили в начале 80-х или середине, но не в конце. Да, народ ломился на фильм, по несколько заходов делали.
@@user-bp6xn9qx5b Было дело, помню.
Блин, так тогда и не посмотрел. По местному кабельному гнали. Прикольно тогда это выглядело. Как-то необычно. Эдакая жёсткая комедия. Тем более сам водилой работал 😌😎
Тоже тогда так и не посмотрел. Ну или фильм не отложился в памяти, что вряд ли. Возможно, он был помечен как "до 16", из-за обнаженки в кадре.
Ведь помню же Кинг-Конгов, Переключая Каналы, Крокодила Данди, Кокон, Шпионов, как мы, Полет Навигатора, Никогда не говори никогда, и прочее старье, бывшее тогда почти свежаком, и крутившееся в нашем сельском кинотеатре наряду с Фантомасами и Зитой и Гитой...
@@evgeniyshamshin9641 , нет чувак, если бы ты смотрел этот фильи подростком в то время - не забыл бы. У нас после просмотра фильма была мода - не отходя от кинотеатра обсуждать фильм всей компанией. Курили, смеялись и цитировали эпизоды.
Этот фильм был бомбой. Чего только стоит связь по рации дальнобоев, которая едва ли стала всеобщей даже в 2000-х в Роисси.
И фильмы которые ты перечислил были позже в прокате лет на 10.
Во время "конвоя" крутились Ангар 18, Спасите конкорд, Игрушка, К сокровищам авиакатастрофы, Легенда о динозавре.
Klasse Film, klasse Schauspieler, klasse Song.
RIP Pig Pen
Amen
You Seriously? Nobody Even Died. (The Rubber Duck Seriously Injured)
Yep... RIP Bobby....
@@Azulejo688 the guy that played pig pen was the guy that played Paulie in rocky. He died recently
RIP Burt Young
Rest in Peace passed away April 1st 2022 thank you for the great music.
Convoy is my Favorite Trucking movie . I Love Convoy ❤️
Getting goosebumps is always an amazing feeling!
Kris Kristofferson😅. Saw him in concert when he was 80yrs young, played acoustic for 1 1/2 hours while standing with no sip of water. Must have played 30 songs, felt he was singing directly to me, masterful storytelling. Have been to a lot of concerts and his was one of the best. He’s a Rhodes Scholar, the man is smart and he’s darn sexy here.
😻
As the son of a long-haul trucker growing up in the '80s this movie and the song were among my favorites.
I,'ts the greatest movie that ever i have seen,GOD bless the USA
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.
RIP Burt Young aka Pig Pen or Paulie whatever you knew the great man as he will be missed 😞😞
Vanlife during the 70s must've been fun as hell. No local restrictions on where to Park overnights.
Look at all those cab-overs. You see one now on the road you have seen a rare sight.
I just seen one a few days ago. Took me by surprise. Freightliner 😎
@@kevinkurtz9889 I see one almost every day on my way home from work. Big chrome visor and a very narrow windshield. It looks like its right on top of you even when its 50 yards away. very cool.
We have plenty of them here in Australia. Kenworths are pretty popular, but we have a lot of European ones here now too..Mercedes, DAF's, Scania's are the most common ones. Freightliner CO's are another one as well.
Thank god! I hated driving those bob tailing bouncers!
Mein Vater hat diesen Film geliebt 👍❤ Leider ist mein Vater 2019 gestorben 😢 R.I.P. Daddy 😢
Great track started the CB radio craze in the 70s
Best MOVIE of the World 😊
Behind Smokey and the Bandit of course
The DUCK can never die
После вестернов, был самый популярный фильм в СССР в 80-х!!!!
И Джигарханян в роли шерифа! )
@@viktorh71 Точно, я и забыл😃😃
Он также был очень популярен в Польше.
Еще был " Лихорадка на белой полосе", тж шёл в кинотеатрах...
Yes westerns were popular here in U.S., but in the 80's, this was more popular here also.
This is my overall favourite Movie of all time.
As a kid, 13 yaers old I was 15!!! times in the movie theatre to watch this movie in germany
In total i saw the movie about 100 times
CW McCall...FATHER of rapped lyrics
Классный фильм из моего детства. А теперь мне 51 год. И двадцать лет я гоняю фуры. Добра всем!!! 👍👍👍!!!
In Soviet Union this movie was a blockbuster. Watched it many times.
I still have and use my old CW Macall CB radio. It a 21 channel Midland convoy buddy it was the baddest radio at the time
It been in probably 20 semi trucks
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 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.
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.
After seeing this every time I saw a few lorries in motorway here in uk 🇬🇧 one after the other I thought its going to be like Convoy film! It would be awesome to see that here in uk!
Convoy was great in the 70s and and this film is still great even in 2022!
Check the "news" about the Canadian Convoy...
One of my favourite movies of all time
very great film .. and a great song as well
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
Show I ran with for awhile always traveled in convoy.... and I kept them from getting lost on at least 2 occasions.
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.
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.
ABC Sunday Night Movie 🍿….when I hear 👂 this sounds that is what I think about…a great childhood memory.
What. A. Movie. Makes me feel great. Simple flick, but just a treat.
This is one of my all time favorite movies and songs.
Two classic beauty's there, that black R series and Ali McGraw
I built two RS700L trucks from gliders that we got from Canada back in the early 80s

29 Years Old And All My 7 Years Of Trucking Have Made Possible Because I Always Respected And Hangout With Old Timers
I Wish I Would Of Been Trucking In This Era
Always loved Ernest Borgnine, he played some great heavies in his time but was always working into his 90's.
good old times with CB radio... it's a great movie, still today
Convoy, Smokey and the Bandit and BJ and the Bear are the reasons I became a truck driver. And the songs from them didn’t hold me back from my dream either
I was 11, when I went to the movies to see this movie. Watch it 3 times. Love the duck
i love this song but was only four when this song my brother drew a convoy truck and well done
Rest in Peace C.W. McCall
My dad was a trucker in the late 70s. Always drew a crowd when he pulled in with his blue and white cabover Pete around our neighborhood, parked outside our house in Sturgis, SD.
My lads, now at the grand old ages of 18 and 20 have always known there was some reason we said Rubber Duck, but they never quite understood exactly what it was about. Tried to get them to watch the film when they were littler and they weren't interested but I showed them this yesterday (after the younger of the 2 installed a rubber duck on his car ariel). The films just got 2 new fans. It'll never be old. 💙
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. 🥰
1978 год. Кто бы мог подумать?. А нравиться.
PIG PEN❤❤❤⚰️⚰️⚰️WE REMEMBER YOU😢
Какое было время!!!!!! Смотрел этот фильм ни знаю сколько раз... Казалось что все происходит в соседнем районе.... Лет то было 8 или 9.... И был СССР!........
The resistance to Jimmy Carter's fuel restrictions and speed downgrades in the late seventies was socially important and was one of the factors that led to Reagan getting elected in 1980. This song reflected a resistance to government overreach.
Still does to this day.
Which is probably why this country is as effed up as it is now thanks to Reagan and misapplied "resistance".
saw this in 78 when my cinema showed it. Great movie and dang Ali MacGraw!!!!!!!
What a movie 11/10
Thats totally different story, still alive dears❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊
'bout to pull the plug on your drain. I love that line. Surprisingly all these years, the ladies like it too. 😮
RIP Burt Young
Still the best Truck movie
One of the first songs I ever got on vinyl (45)...
Did you become a fan of rap music in the 80s? Because this song is arguably a rap song.
Love it. Ali was just a beauty and for being in her 80's still cute. She is by far 1 the most beautiful women to exist.
till today and for years, still one of my favourite movie and song🥰
AMERICAN TRUCKERS ! MOUNT UP, WE HAVE FREEDOM TO DELIVER, DC OR BUST, PEDAL TO THE METAL, TRUST NO SMOKIES
When I saw the movie for the first time I was about 6 years old and really wanted to drive one of these trucks when I grew up. I stood on highway bridges for hours and showed the truckers that they should honk...even today my biggest dream is still to be able to drive an FLD132 CLASSIC XL Freightliner...or rather at least to try it. (translated with google, written from germany) ps.: In fact, today I "only" drive a VW T4...
BADDEST TRUCKING MOVIE EVER
HOW
