The Blues Brothers, founded by comedic geniuses John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd, originally started as a musical sketch on "Saturday Night Live" but quickly became a sensation all their own. The duo, donning their iconic black suits, fedoras, and shades, portrayed Jake and Elwood Blues – two brothers on a mission from "God" to save their orphanage through the power of rhythm and blues.

Their most recent releases like "The Blues Brothers Original Motion Picture Soundtrack" and "Briefcase Full of Blues" perfectly capture the electrifying energy they brought to both their live performances and their legendary 1980 film, "The Blues Brothers." This passion is especially evident in albums like "Made in America" and their live recordings, including "Live - The Closing Of Winterland, 31st December 1978." Combine standout musical talent, a killer backing band featuring some of the industry's best musicians, and a touch of comedic flair, and it's no wonder The Blues Brothers continue to be treasured icons in the world of blues and soul music.
