I was surprised to hear he was still alive until this news.

RIP.
Spurred a memory of listening to Convoy over and over again as a kid. Wonder whatever happened to that 45.

The guy poured gasoline into the CB radio fad and lit the match. I was driving truck a lot back then...everyone was putting CB's in their cars and pickups and trying to sound like they were truckers.

Had this album on cassette-tape when I was a kid. (song was released approx 3.5 years before the movie)
