Boogie music! Horns and everything! (Composer Issac Hayes before his gig on South Park.)

The very best music of its kind. That any of us took Belushi seriously as a frontman for an R and B group is a testiment to how badly he wanted to be one. "I hate Illinois Nazis!"

This one and Hold on I'm Comin' were two greats by Sam and Dave.

Can't hear this without smiling. There should be more things in life that elicit that kind of response.

First time I heard "soul music" was as a country bumkin attending The Cheeta in NYC. Never forget the impact. Music was never the same :-)

Thank you, thank you, thank you for playing this instead of the fun, but inexplicably more frequently played, Blues Brothers cover.

Is this meant to be funny? I sure hope so. |

Borrowed from 'ce' below,
simple, pure, emotional and fun.
That perfectly sums it up.

Very true, and the BB know it and acknowledge it in the movie.
Early in the BB movie, there is a closeup shot of a BB-hand putting a cassette of Sam & Dave (I think it was a "Best of") in their car stereo, and the next scene has S&D music.
That brief closeup was there as a small tribute to Sam & Dave, a little "I thank you" from the BB.
(Yes, I've seen that movie many, many times)
I agree with the tribute idea, but I'm pretty sure it was a close-up of an 8-track. ;)

The Blues Brothers could have never been without the likes of Sam & Dave. I think theirs was done with respect to the original, yet playfully parodying the genre. I like both versions.

Having said that, Sam & Dave's music is a little "rough around the edges". That's partly because it's about 40 years old now, but I think it's also because it was never intended to be slick and smooth. It's simple, pure, emotional and fun.
Glad to see some real/old soul on RP these days. A few years ago there was very little. |
