| | The Blues Brothers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Blues Brothers' television debut was as the musical guest in the April 22, 1978 episode of Saturday Night Live, often cited as one of the best-ever SNL episodes. | | | Despite the name of the act, most of the songs performed by The Blues Brothers throughout their existence were soul music or RandB classics rather than actual blues music. | | | Their style was fresh and in many ways, different from prevailing musical trends: a very raw and "live" sound compared to the increasing use of sound synthesis and vocal-dominated music of the late 1970s and 80s. |

| | Blues music, which evolved from African American spirituals, work songs, shouts and chants, has been a massive influence on modern Western music styles. | | | Blue Boy has the sort of fine writing and outstanding melodies expected from Ron Sexsmith and its live ambience reveals another side of this much-admired singer. | | | This album is their heaviest recording so far, adding dark, brooding guitar sounds to the band’s usual hypnotic/reflective/quiet character. |

| | Thier album, "Briefcase Full of Blues" was released December 5, 1978 and went straight up to the top of the charts. | | | John was more into heavy metal at the time, but by the third season he'd become a rabid blues fan and had gotten into the habit of jumping up on stage at clubs and singing a few impromptu songs with the bands. | | | He worked up a couple numbers with Dan and the SNL band and musical director Howard Shore suggested the name "The Blues Brothers". |

| | VH1.com : The Blues Brothers : Biography |
| | Joliet Jake and his silent brother Elwood -- was among the most popular groups of the late '70s; what started as a skit on the hit NBC television sketch comedy series Saturday Night Live quickly snowballed to become a true phenomenon, complete with hit records, a sold-out concert tour, and even a feature film. | | | The Blues Brothers' band included top Memphis session men like guitarist Steve Cropper and bassist Donald "Duck" Dunn, who together appeared on many of the original Stax label recordings of songs in the group's repertoire; later incarnations also featured notables like bluesman Matt "Guitar" Murphy. | | | In 1981, The Best of the Blues Brothers was released, further solidifying their massive popularity; however, on March 5, 1982, Belushi died in Hollywood of an accidental drug overdose, and the Blues Brothers' saga was effectively over. |

| | Review: Blues Brothers 2000 |
| | The difference between the two Blues Brothers movies can be summed up simply: the original 1980 release worked as a musical and a comedy; the 1998 installment functions as a musical masquerading as a comedy. | | | His partner, Jake (played by the late John Belushi), died in prison, so now it's up to the survivor to find a new lead singer, re-form the group, hit the road, run from the police, and end up in a band competition to end all band competitions. | | | (Apologies to those I have forgotten -- and there are a lot.) Playing everything from familiar standards to new songs, Blues Brothers 2000 has something for viewers of almost any musical persuasion (standout numbers include "How Blue Can You Get" and "New Orleans"). |

| | The Blues Brothers |
| | The music in this film can be divided into three parts: the music contributed by Elmer Bernstein during the "see the light" sequence, the blues numbers by the Blues Brothers and their band, and finally, the numerous numbers contributed by other musicians such as Ray Charles and John Lee Hooker. | | | There were no discernable problems with audio sync, save for occasional moments where the musical performances seemed slightly out, but this is quite usual for all films of this type, at least when we're talking about real music. | | | Both as a film, and as a monument to a time when musical talent was necessary to get a record deal, The Blues Brothers is a righteous classic that not only warrants, but demands multiple viewings. |
