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!
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...
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.
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
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
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..
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.)))
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 😅
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.
Now I am on in the right comment box this movie was one of the greatest got to love the look on dirty Lyle face when he realized the duck is still alive
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!
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 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 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🇬🇧🇺🇲🇬🇧🇺🇲🇬🇧🇺🇲🇬🇧🇺🇲😪😪😪😪😪
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.
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. 😊
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 🙏🏻
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.
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 ❤
@@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.
@@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.
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.
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.
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! ❤
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.
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
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.
@@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.

Enough rabble babble from my part.... Rest easy Kris Kristofferson (Rubber Duck). Now you are free to roam wherever you want across the US.
You have no idea how happy this makes me! Mercy sakes alive!
Have you ever seen a duck that can't swim quack quack
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! ❤
Thank you Mr Peckinpah for making this movie
till today and for years, still one of my favourite movie and song🥰
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.
Brings back so many memories....Love the film, love the music....
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
Dnt ever get rid of it… it’s a jewel now… trust me
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.
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!
What is a cab over pls
What. A. Movie. Makes me feel great. Simple flick, but just a treat.
Seen movie & went & got a Ranger CB radio. Had it awhile til I bought a Cobra. Still have it.
Great track started the CB radio craze in the 70s
i love this song but was only four when this song my brother drew a convoy truck and well done
Never gets old .👍👍👍
RIP C.W. McCall. Over and out
One of my favourite movies of all time
god, this reminds me of times when my dad was still alive
Gute Reise Rubber Duck. Ruhe in Frieden.
Bought up on Country Music and these films , Kris was the coolest ever RIEP Mr Duck ❤
This is the only song that I'm addicted to. It is too good!
This has a deeper meaning now during these totalitarian days of the 4th Carter Administration.
I drove for a few years and yep... being in a convoy is an un forgettable ride ride....
Haa, one from my youth. We all wanted to be truckers after this one. Beautiful film, thanks for sharing 👍
