It's April Fools' Day and we're on a fools mission! A mission from god! Guest Co-Host Terry Hamblin and I delve into The Blues Brothers -- the music & the movie! When original Saturday Night Live cast members Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi turned their passion for rhythm & blues music into a musical act, they became their alter egos, Jake & Elwood Blues, and brought along some of the all-time greatest r&b musicians into a musical act that set both the music charts and movie charts on fire and created a pop culture phenomenon. After a couple of appearances on SNL, Aykroyd and Belushi left the show and along with director John Landis, created one of the greatest cult classic movies of all time, 1980's The Blues Brothers. Along with cameos by r&b greats James Brown, Cab Calloway, Ray Charles, & Aretha Franklin, as well as Blues Brothers band members such as Steve Cropper, Donald "Duck" Dunn, Matt "Guitar" Murphy and Paul Shaffer among others, they pooled their respective musical and comedic talents together and came out with a raucous musical comedy that would resonate years and decades later.
