CASH BOX TOP 100 SINGLES
Week ending January 17, 1976
#1 CONVOY C.W. McCall (MGM 14839)

So by your logic this is a good song since it went number 1

Convoy is a great song! You have to listen to it in context: it was a protest of the national 55 mph speed limit imposed by President Ford, causing truckers to network around state trooper enforcement of the limit using the CB radio.

"Let them truckers roll! 10-4!"
