I guess many people don't realize that 'The Blues Brothers' is an actual band, not just a fictitious band in a movie of the same name.
Their first album came out two years (1978) before the release of the movie (1980) and they are still recording/touring despite the death of a few original members (such as John Belushi, also known as 'Joliet Jake' Blues).
Here is where it all began...
The Blues Brothers - Briefcase Full Of Blues
Hey Bartender by The Blues Brothers From The Album Briefcase Full of Blues

I had that album once. I think Jim stepped in for John at one time.

Dan Aykroyd is a man of many talents. So was John Belushi.

Was never a fan of the Blues Brothers. Never even saw the movie.

@RasmaSandra -- if nothing else, Aretha Franklin doing "Think" will make it worth your time.

They actually had a pair of Top 40 singles before the movie was made.

I remember the movie and seeing the actual band preform on something.

And, as the late, great Donald "Duck" Dunn said in the movie....
