I was in a Karaoke contest and sang the Blues Brothers version of Cab Calloway's Minnie the Moocher. At the point I sang it there were 20 finalists. Now I'm in the top ten!! First prize is One grand, second prize is five hundred, and third is 250 bucks. I'm doing more songs from the Blues Brothers movie for the finals!!!!!!
I can't get enough of The Blues Brothers music. I think there Hard Core Blues Rockers. I love there music loud and proud. It's a good feeling in my body n soul.
I was fortunate to have seen these guys at the Robin Hood Dell in Philly. What a great show. Akroyd & Belushi were one show & the band was a show themselves. The tightest live band I've ever seen. In my top 5 of all-time concerts.
These guys helped reinvigorate the blues scene in the late seventies and early eighties. I didn't know anything about the blues until I saw these guys on SNL. I went down the blues rabbit hole. Briefcase Full of Blues is a must have, I play this often in my car to this day. Fantastic concert footage.
Had the pleasure of seeing Dan and Jim do their Blues Brothers routine in Vegas one New Years. It was as close to getting to see the original Blues Brothers band live. Jim almost looked and sounded like his brother that you could feel John's spirit there. Wish I could see them again as it was a great concert.
I feel the same way about The Blues Brothers. I love the Chicago Blues. Chess Records Chicago, IL had so many great records of The Blues And Rockin N Rollin Music for me.
I heard this when I was nine years old every night when I was in bed, my seven year older brother was playing this mega load. After a while I knew all the songs and the lyrics (phonetically), I was dreaming about how these shows looked like in the United States as we were from a little village in the middle of nowhere in the south of the Netherlands near the Belgium border. This will always stay with me, thanks JP (my brother)!!
That's what I am talkin' about! I just posted this to my FB page to my old friends from back in the day! You just confirmed it ! Blessings to you for the upcoming Eclipse, may it bring the peace and knowing were all gonna need !
I am Daniel Franco Jr and I am an English teacher and a drummer who likes Rock n Roll Music and The Blues and i am from Blue Island Illinois and we travel to get to Laredo Texas
(Shower Thought) If the Blues Brothers were still with us, you know that they would have made one hell of s Christmas Music Album, eventually, and we would still likely be enjoying it, instead of Mariah Carrey....

The thing was, Was that Dan could play the hell out of that Harp, And John loved the music, so he knew all the words, "AND" How to carry a tune! And you hvae Steve, & Duck, with Matt, Who wouldn't have bought those albums? From a consumer, to business stand point this project was a no brainer!
guessing they were also filming the movie around this time. Great group of musicians all around. Donald "Duck" Dunn played with Booker T and the M.G.s, "Green Onions". Been listening/watching for 40 years. Long live the Blues !
i saw the "blues Brother's band" around 1990 with Eddie Floyd on vocal's. Good concert but sometimes people didn't react because they played classic rythm and blues songs not sing by The Blues Brothers. "Everybody needs somebody to love" was great but "Sweet Home Chicago" was amazing : 10 mns at least with solos off all the instruments longer than the record version.
Magical what I’d pay to hear musicians of this quality today, they just don’t exist sorry I don’t want to cause offence xxxx R.I.P always God Bless Beautiful Musical Angels xxxx
I love blues brothers. What does "pro shot" mean? I'm an Italian man... I know the two words, but not together... "pro-shot". Thanks Bye Elwood and Joliet Jake
so... was he an actor first or a musician? And since this is before the release of the film, were they an actual band that then fictionalized a film off this?
John Belushi was a Actor he and best friend DAN aykroyd created the blues brothers and formed the band as a real band to perform on SNL IN 1978 they performed from 78-80 in 78 they released there first album a briefcase full of blues in 1979 the decided to make a movie on the characters of Jake And Elwood and the band it was released in 1980
@@sadiehallinger1401 On Piano, Paul Schaffer, band director of the SNL, not in the movie because of his contract. From left to right : Steve Cropper on guitar and Donald "Duck" Dunn on Bass from "Booker T and the mg's" known for the hit "Green Onions" and also to play with Otis Redding on tour especially on Monterrey pop festival. On drum's, not Scott Hall drumer from the Stax Records (otis redding, Aretha Franklin, Sam and Dave..) playing in the movie but Steve Jordan known to be now the drummer of the Rolling Stones. And off course on guitar, chicago electric bluesman Matt Murphy, a reference for Keith Richards. The horn section : in the movie they are only three but we can ear the four : Tom Malone, Alan Rubbin and Lou Marini are in the movie, Tom Scott isn't but we can ear him on Sweet home Chicago.
Belushi overdosed March of 1982. The band were all session musicians & as good as you could get in the day. They got back together in the 90's with John's brother Jim standing in. Paul Shaffer on keyboard was the band director & David Lettermans band director. All the others were just plain fantastic players.
