Blues Brothers

By Reverend Keith A. Gordon, About.com

On A Mission From God:

Conceived on the rowdy set of the famed Saturday Night Live TV series, Dan Ackroyd and John Belushi introduced the Blues to millions of people with this, at first, parody, of two down on their luck Blues musician brothers. Their adventures in two feature movies cast an entertaining lesson in Blues history. With almost a dozen recordings to their credit, the all-star band turned out to be the treat.
