C.W. McCALL, 93
Died April 1, 2022
Country singer known for his 1976 hit song "Convoy."
Also was an advertising executive. Real name was William Dale Fries, Jr.
His song "Convoy" took advantage of the current CB radio craze going on in the United States in 1976 and was a country crossover hit that went to #1 on the Pop Charts.
He also had six Top 20s in Country Music.
His "Roses for Mama" really hithome for me when I heard it on his greatest hits CD as I drove back to North Caroilina for my mom's funeral.
