    CLIP DESCRIPTION:
    The Blues Brothers stop at Ray's Music shop to find some quality instruments and get a toe-tapping demo from the owner (Ray Charles).
    FILM DESCRIPTION:
    Expanding on their Saturday Night Live characters, John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd star as Jake and Elwood Blues, two white boys with black soul. Sporting cool shades and look-alike suits, Jake and Elwood are dispatched on a "mission from God" by their former teacher, Sister Mary Stigmata (Kathleen Freeman). Said mission is to raise $5000 to save an orphanage. In the course of their zany adventures, the Blues Brothers run afoul of neo-Nazi Henry Gibson, perform the theme from Rawhide before the most unruly bar crowd in written history, and lay waste to hundreds of cars on the streets and freeways of Chicago. In case you aren't swept up in the infectuous nuttiness of the brothers Blue, you might have fun spotting film's legion of guest stars, including James Brown, Cab Calloway, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, John Candy, Carrie Fisher, Steve Lawrence, Twiggy, Paul Reubens (aka Pee-Wee Herman), Frank Oz, and Steven Spielberg.

    I remember one time my dad called me out in the living room and this scene was on TV. He only did probably because I loved Ray Charles’ music. That’s where I first heard of The Blues Brothers. Months later, the Minnie the Moocher scene was enough to convince me to watch the whole movie. I did and I loved it. Now, it’s my favorite movie of all time.

    • @jondunmore4268
      @jondunmore4268 Год назад +9

      I believe that Jake notices the cable is not plugged in to any speaker. Same result - the electric piano shouldn't be able to make any noise without going through a speaker via the quarter-inch cable, which isn't plugged in.

      Its a Fender-Rhodes Mk1 Suitcase piano, it will make sound without being plugged into anything, just pretty quiet and unlikely to be heard over other instruments (and, in fact, you pretty much can't hear it anymore once the rest of the band starts playing and Ray starts singing)

    The “failed” movie that grossed 112 million in early 1980s dollars at the box office!
    Middle-aged male reviewers who never listened to blues or rock n roll, hated this film they panned it! The crowds that saw it loved it. It was too long. The car crashes were excessive. The premise didn’t make sense, convents do not pay property tax! It should have been advertised as a movie musical, that’s what it was! A modern day movie musical! Thin on plot. Big on music!
    This movie made millions on cable, vhs, and screens throughout the world from opening day to today! It’s widely considered a classic! We are so glad that we have these high quality filmed song of these classic artists. The Blues Brothers are considered a phenomenon.
    It’s not just the money that the franchise makes. It’s the music. It continues to be enjoyed. The film also is a tribute to classic recording artists and the joy we baby boomers received listening to the radio, records, and tv appearances of a long number of them! But you have to be one of us to have experienced that.

    The location shots for this scene were filmed at 47th Street and Prairie Ave. The building that housed Ray's Music Exchange is still standing, and currently is a pawn shop. The mural is still on the wall as well, albeit faded after nearly four decades.

    Every song in the Blues Brothers is a bad mood buster. If someone is coding on the operating table, the surgeon needs to pop some headphones on the patient and start bumping any song from this movie.
    This is a forever flick. For the old folks out there, make sure the kids have seen the Blues Brothers to keep it going.

      So do I. There’s only a moment between the phrases that make up the intro but they hang there. It’s the same way I feel when I hear the into to ABC by the Jackson 5, I want to dance. But I feel truly alive when he almost yells out those first words. The song is a similar sentiment to Aretha’s ‘Think’ but less angry and more pleading and desperate for expression. The reflection of the keys in his sunglasses makes him look like the coolest man alive.
