6. C.W. McCall Recorded A New Version Of The Song For The Film
It is pretty common knowledge that the movie Convoy was inspired by country singer C.W. McCall’s 1976 hit single of the same title. But what isn’t as well-known is the fact that McCall had to make a brand new version of the song to be included on the film’s soundtrack.
While the movie was inspired by the song, its plot was almost entirely its own, since the song hardly had a plot at all. Once the screenplay was finished, McCall recorded a new version that mentioned plot points and characters from the film.
