Cropper and Dunn, you may not know them by name but you damned sure know them by ear! They were responsible for some of the best music from the 60's and 70's.

This is not only music history -- it's U.S. History.

The blues brothers..best thing that ever came out of SNL.

[@chrisweidner4768]

Those were the days.

[@CaptRich-bi3gp]

Saw them on their limited tour in Dallas; I was just a kid (17, 1980 I think) but loved every minute of it. Great show!

[@OutOnTheTiles]

@@CaptRich-bi3gp I was 14 in 1980 and remember seeing it in the theatre. Was lotsa fun. I believe we snuck in cause it was rated R.

[@CaptRich-bi3gp]

@@OutOnTheTiles I worked at a movie theater when it came out, watched it literally dozens of times. But actually I was referring to seeing them live. Yes, they loaded up all these fantastic studio musicians and did a limited cross country tour. One stop happened to be in Dallas Texas not even an hour from my hometown. Louie Torres and I had a blast even driving to the venue, in retrospect it is almost surreal. The stage had to of been the work of a set designer, it looked like a gas station out of the 1930s. When they came out for their encore, Jailhouse Rock, the entire back curtain opened to reveal floor to ceiling rows of cop lights all of them activated red and blue. It was wild we felt like we were almost in the movie at the end with the giant chase scene. I was 17 at the time, I will never forget it. John Belushi made a very good attempt of a cartwheel coming on stage. Dan Aykroyd did all that crazy dancing like in the film, it was wild. Good times!

[@woody1797]

The reason that SNL deteriorated so much over the years from it's comedy peak in the early years is that Loren Michaels contracted a devastating disease that is chronic and incurable -- CAD ... Comic Alzheimer's Disease. Two other famous victims of CAD are Bil Keane and Charles Shultz.

[@royskuderin2386]

I was at a Blues club in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida called The Musicians Exchange (no longer there, sadly) and in 1986, Matt "Guitar" Murphy was the headliner and I swear to God, Steve, Donald "Duck" Dunne and a few other members of The Blues Brothers Band were on stage with him (sans Belushi and Akroyd, obviously. They rocked the house down and the event was unforgettable.

[@satori03]

I remember the Musicians Exchange..Used to frequent that place in the 80's

[@charliedee9276]

I was 16 when The Blues Brothers came out. That movie and the musicians in it changed me, I have probably seen it 100 times now, it's still great every time. Later in life I teched for a guitar player friend, every show I used a line at the beginning and end from the movie. Pre show, "chicken wire?" and after show, "let's get the hell out of here".

I was a kid when they made Briefcase Full of Blues and the Blues Brothers movie, Animal House etc, might have been a bit before my time but it certainly had an effect on my sense of humor and music choices later, my high school girlfriends older brother in law who was 38 was just as crazy as Belushi and hilarious as hell, he impacted my sense of humor as much as John and Dan did, loved John Candy and the SCTV crew as well, I still refer to the B.B's as the Good Ol Blues Brothers Boys band even though it was the Good Ol Boys they mocked in the movie lol. Still have my BCFOB album, got rid of all my albums from the old days but kept that and Cheech and Chong and Sinatra, Bennett and those types of albums.

Saw the Blues Brothers at the Hollywood Bowl and was taken aback by the 'backup' band because the entire show was done more professionally and was more fun than many of the popular concerts making the circuit at the time. We thought it would be just an SNL goof-off gig, but the evening went by so fast and done so well that I came away with greater respect for how versatile Akroyd and Belushi were. Timing, vocals, dance routines, audience participation...it had it all! Soul Man and Rubber Biscuit.

Steve Cropper is an American Guitar Icon in the same class as Chuck Berry, Jimi Hendrix, etc. His playing is wonderfully soulful, too.

John Belushi stayed at Bobby Dunn's( Duck's brother) house in Memphis doing some pre-production for the movie. My friend, Brad Dunn was a teen. Maybe 13 and was in charge of getting Belushi around to where he needed to be. Belushi drove his Mercedes and Brad rode shotgun.

I've lived and worked in the entertainment industry in Nashville for 21 years and I can say this with the absolute most certainty....There is no name dropped more often by industry insiders than the Colonel...I had a chance to build a piece of audio imaging for a radio segment for Steve...I was in a true creative panic...How can I make a proper introduction to an audience for who is one of THE foundational bricks in Modern Pop Music? I was given a month notice and I worked on it for weeks...Making sure I had the right hooks and drops and Steve to convey the greatness that is Cropper...I have a series of Get Smart doors in my Rock & Roll brain...The more doors you open, the more impressed I am with your knowledge...Steve Cropper is the last door...SO! I make this Segment Intro for "Pickin' with Steve" where he picks game winners for the weekend, tells stories, brings on Dave Mason...shit like that...I'm not at all happy with my results...I didn't think it was good at all...I hated it and wanted to go back and redo it completely...I refused to even listen to it on the air, tuning in after the TOH so I'd miss it on purpose...About a week or so later, I'm playing golf with my PD and he gets a text, asks me if I sent that MP3 of the Intro to Steve...I worried it was to say "THIS SUCKS! DO IT AGAIN!", but I was told that Steve Cropper thought what I made was one of the better produced pieces of audio he had heard and it is now his ringtone...I don't care if he was being sincere, (which if you ever spent time with him, he was) or just being nice, but I no longer care if anything I do in my career is good enough. Ratings or fans will never mean more to me than Steve Cropper having my Imaging as his ringtone.

I was paired with Mr. Cropper as we were out on the course he asked if I could get him some Beer, I suppose the night before he had been out to a handful of bars and tied one on pretty good. I got on the walkie talkies they supplied to us caddies, I called up to the club house, had them bring a sixer down. After the round was over as good gentlemen he tipped me $1000.00 his company and stories where a welcome change to the snobbish pros I had bagged for previously.
