[@ThomasDana-m3s]

That movie is what drove me to drive a truck. I did it over the road , coast to coast , for 47 years. Loved this song and Valerie ( RIP ) AND JAN ( RIP )

[@jeffwoyjcik7882]

I Remember Talking My Mom Into Taking Me To See This Movie When I Was 11 Because I Loved Trucks !!! She Gave Into My Relentless Begging And Took Me To See It !!! She Just Passed Away At Almost 88 Years Old And I Found This Video The Day After She Died !!! That Song Was So Beautiful To Hear And It Will Always Be The Song I Will Listen To And Remember Her By Because I Drift And Dream About Her Taking Me To Watch That Movie !!! That Is Such An Appropriate Song For Me To Be Able To Hear Whenever I Want To Be Reminded Of Her !!!

[@dusann.3025]

It’s too bad they never released the soundtrack of this movie to vinyl. The songs are phenomenal throughout the entire movie!

[@JayKhwaja]

Jan Michael Vincent, we'll miss you always, keep trucking and soaring the skies (1944/5 - 2019) 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@ademirstabury4175]

I saw White Line Fever when I was eight years old back in 1975. I loved the movie back then and still love it now. I just heard Actor LQ Jones died. He played Buck....the guy everyone loved to hate. Live well and keep smiling everyone

[@paulineplittlelady]

Such a good movie with two very good and very popular actors as the mains!!

[@kennethbaber1130]

Such great memories! Loved the movie and the song! Valerie was a backup singer for Jackson Browne. The song "That Girl Could Sing" is about her! RIP sweet girl!❤

[@BlueStarJT]

Best quality on youtube .

[@Robert8455]

I remember seeing this movie at Northwest Mall movie theatre when I was about 13. It made an impression on me then and I still like the movie story line and actors. I was curious about the music and a quick search turned up this gem. How cool. Thanks for posting, really a beautiful song. I keep playing it.

[@frankresendez1928]

Beautiful song

[@jimmason1072]

I saw this movie at the drive in......they made a great looking young couple....she was 21 or 22 here....and he was 29....can't believe live got away from him....to bad....very sad....I've used that "white line fever" phrase several times in my life and it always brings me back to those good old days....and this movie....

Kay Lenz was married to David Cassidy back in the 70's for awhile

Good Movie , Great Song .

[@CueBallRacer]

Man she could sing!!

[@kimsullivan5576]

She was the inspiration and reason of why Jackson Browne wrote + made his hit of "That Girl Could Sing". She was amazing. RIP Valerie.

[@frankresendez1928]

Yes sir

[@frankresendez1928]

Amazing

[@melclark6668]

I don't recall much about the movie, but I sure remember this haunting song.

[@timwakeford8471]

@C. Buck Hyres just speculation; . Val was between A&M (Howdy Moon) and Columbia(?) White Line Fever, Columbia Pictures released in '75. Maybe this as this was part of her record deal? before Just a Stones Throw Away, '77?

[@Anth4044]

@C. Buck Hyres exactly what a waste of a good song I wished it was released but it wasn't I looked everywhere but nope it wasn't ☹️🎶

[@Iambigdaa]

I fell stone cold in love with this song when this movie came out. Holy Cow!

[@blackholeentry3489]

Tibs….Have it on my 'favorites' list and regularly immerse myself in it, usually playing it eight or ten times and never tiring of it. I read in another post about a guy who came to see the other movie that was playing with it, but this movie played first. For the life of him, he couldn't recall the 'other' movie, and because he so fell in love with this song, he saw the movie several more times before it quit playing, and, decades later vividly recalls this song...as do I. Simply magical.

[@Davo-gj7gl]

Great song 👍🏻

[@RichardEKranz]

Beautiful song. Underrated movie.

[@troyvan6952]

Great tune.... wish it was available on iTunes

[@dionst.michael1482]

This song resonated with me from the very first time I heard it. Got to see this with my young parents at the drive-in back when I was still small enough to sneak in underneath my Moms legs when they’d go for the all night horror showings that they loved to attend back in the late 70’s and early 80’s since it was a cheap night out for them. Saw some of the greatest classics of all time! Still one of my fondest memories growing up. I’m pretty sure the ticket booth employees knew what was up since there’d always be a few of us kids on the play structures in the field in front of the big drive-in movie screen before the picture would roll on nights they had restricted horror movies featured but they never once complained being pretty harmless small town fun. They were probably just happy having paying customers. And nothing ever tasted quite as good as drive in movie hotdogs and hamburgers! Mmmm!

[@hulk7272]

I was 15 years old when I saw this movie and I LOVED it so much, I saw it six times!!!! Favorite Scene: When Carrol Jo walked out on that dock, looking like a U.S. MARINE, baby, come to TAKE his load. Then smiling, threw the shotgun to Pop's and said "Let's go!!!". Watching the Blue Mule get up on that interstate. We gone..bye, bye!!! I LOVED the 70s.

Sorry to correct your lyrics, but this of one of my favorite songs. ......... shadows Cast by the first rays of light..... Thanks for the post. Now I don't have to dig the movie out anymore! The version at the end of the movie is even better.

[@av_capture6260]

Thanks. Now corrected.

[@henryjacobs2482]

I have the movie

[@williamcreel624]

I feel that this movie is about to be reenacted here in South Carolina before 2020 is over by myself against the local grain hauling community and the scumbags that call themselves grain haulers!

[@TanoTap12432]

Is this song on Spotify can’t seem to find it

[@emeyer6963]

Was never released as a single.

[@reedlanger5988]

I wishthis movie was as good as this opening credits promises it to be.

[@johnstebbins5463]

What are u talking about? For the year the movie came out it is a true and accurate picture about the trucking industry

[@michaelflinn2791]

I honestly thought this was joan Baez....

[@blackholeentry3489]

Joan Baez's voice is much deeper. While I love Baez's voice, Sandy Denny wins on this one.
