Question #2: The founder of Mannheim Steamroller, Chip Davis, also created and produced records under the name of CW McCall, which included the CB craze single "Convoy". True or false?[SOURCE: Fun Facts – Mannheim Steamroller]
A, True, or
B. False.
Davis worked as a jingle writer for a thriving Omaha, Nebraska advertising agency. While there, he and one of the agency’s ad execs, Bill Fries, dreamed up a fictional truck driver named CW McCall for a series of commercials for The Old Home Bread company.
The television commercials were so popular that stations began fielding requests from listeners. Eventually, the Nashville A&R community came calling and Davis and Fries negotiated a record deal to produce recordings for under the name of CW McCall. One of the songs, a single called “Convoy” blew open the popular CB radio craze of 1975. Within two months, 10 million record buyers were singing along and two years later Kris Kristofferson starred in the hit movie by the same name.
