Today is the Big 10-4 Good Buddy, October 4th! The day for The government "Bears" FEMA to test the emergency broadcast coast to coast! That's why I'm here! LOL R.I.P. GOOD BUDDY C.W. This is one of my all time favorite songs! Let's them truckers roll 10-4!!!!
Another brilliant #1 hit from the Top 10 on the iconic hitshow COUNTDOWN here in Melbourne AUST. Hosted by The Guru, Ian "Molly" Meldrum. Fun Fact: At one time the Swedish phenomenon ABBA dominated the Countdown National Top 10 Hits (AUST) to the tune of 50% with 5 Top ten hits all ABBA same time. I never saw anything like it B4 or since!!
Hey, in 2017 in the UK Ed Sheeran had 16 songs in the top 20 being every track on his new album! As a result the chart rules had to be changed and now artists are limited to no more than 3 tracks (in the top 40, I think)
Remember here in Australia, just outside of Sydney there was a truck blockage I think in 1979 ? Blocked Razorback Mountain only letting passenger vehicles through.
Shaky Town is also Tinsel Town, and trucking back then was trucking! Now with GPS snooping on everything you do and having to write a book with logs, it's no wonder no one wants to drive any more.
I need some clarification. Years ago, I did CB a lot. I talked to a trucker called the Rubber Duck, and a few years later, the song came out and the movie, I just thought the trucker became famous, but he was real, not a star. Here in Colorado.
Thanks for the info! I'm not from the US so it took a while to figure it out, and I'm quite pleased if that was the only error. I don't think I'm alone in originally thinking that Shaky Town was San Francisco, but when I looked at the route that clearly didn't make sense and I discovered that it is in fact LA.
'Cause we got a little 'ole convoy Rockin' through the night Yeah, we got a little 'ole convoy Ain't she a beautiful sight C'mon and join our Convoy Ain't nothin' gonna get in our way We gonna roll this truckin' convoy 'Cross the USA Convoy Convoy
The long road back began at sunset in Prince Rupert, British Columbia. It is because of these truck drivers and those that rolled from both coasts and all of the other provinces that we are no longer locked down, masking, social distancing, or lining up for hours to get our groceries.
Just FYI: McAll recorded two versions of this popular hit. The version you posted is typically included on cds, but the version that appeared on a 45 rpm in 1976 was better.
That's interesting, I didn't know that. This indeed comes from a CD though it sounds the same as the song I remember from 1976 to me. I also found the 7" played on UA-cam and couldn't spot the difference. Perhaps different versions were released in different parts of the world? I'm in the UK. I've also posted the movie version - I didn't used to like it so much but it's grown on me over the years!
@@loljukebox7263 Apparently I've started a war on this in the last few days. The album "23 Truckin Hits" contains the remake, and credits Convoy to "Tommy Hill Music Festival". While the low pitched beginning vocals ("Dark of the moon on the 6th of June") suggest it was the real McCall who did the vocals for the remake, the fact that the album credits McCall only with the original version suggests that the vocalist in the remake is somebody else. If so, it sure had me fooled!

People today will never know how much respeck in the day ya had as a trucker. Where did it go
When drivers went from being professional to be cowboys. Even other truck drivers lost respect for those guys.
People today still respect real truckers. A lot of stuff wouldn't be where it should without em', and most of us know that.
@@Louie2309 ya l guess your right never looked at it that way. Ya live and learn
It's common sense. Without truckers everything would grind to a halt real quick. Nothing but respect for truckers.
To much dopeing.
Today is the "sixth of June" (2023) that's why I'm here! Continue to rest in peace Mr. McCall.
Same 🎉
Sixth of June 2024 today. Im at Jersey Shore
Hearing this trucker song brings back the good old days....
I was 17 n omw to Arkansas with family n heard this song n FELL IN LOVE!!!❤❤
But, i think he says, "Yea, we definitely got 'the foot to her' good buddy"...not 'the front door!'😅
No disrespect, i just believe thats what it says. 🤷🏾♀️
I'm STILL in love with rigs n Still love this song!!!❤❤❤❤ Thx for putting it on!!!😊
Was a young teen during the trucker/CB craze, so this is nostalgic for me.
That said, I think my IQ dipped about 20 points listening as an adult.😂
A song so good they made a movie.
Great movie!
Hear the convoy is rollin down to Texas this year. Good luck boys
I liked this song growing up! I respect Truckers, they have a hard job! Our Country could't make it without them/!
Paid $0.99 for the 45 when it was popular. Can't remember the B side. CB radio was the closest thing to today's internet chat. We had a blast.
Back then we all played this on our eight track tape players, and we all had a CB radio in our cars
Great memories and my high school sweetheart, which we have been married
43 years now! My dad used to push me from the phone so I go in his truck and hide and get on the CB. Lol.
Rest in Peace, C.W. McCall (1928 Nov. 15 - 2022 April 2). Thank you for this great tune!

Had fun during those CB days.

Thank you! I love the original version (vs the movie).

Yeah, Tinseltown is Hollywood, LA.
I am a big fan of the convoy movie

I fuggin love listening to this sing while taking a huge poo.
Ok
Oh shit
RIP Kris keep your ears on good buddy 10-4
My only complaint is that you had I-10 when he’s singing about Tulsa, when they must’ve already been on 44 since that’s what passes through.

@@loljukebox7263 You got it right , when he was leaving Shaky Town [ L A ] it was via Interstate 10 !
Was thinking the same thing, since I live about 50 miles south of I-10 in far west Texas. Great song otherwise.
GREAT SONG !!! GREAT STORY!!!! AMEN
