Aretha Franklin nails the songs.

 


"John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd are two brothers with a rockin' blues band and a vision from God to save the orphanage where they grew up in one of the greatest comedies of all time. Blues Brothers, released in 1980." A brief synopsis of an awesome movie.  

   Aretha Franklin: Think


Aretha Franklin: Respect

This was a movie to be remembered, even after 40 years. John Belushi and Dan Ackroyd go on quest and along the way, their adventures cannot be summarized in a short post.  

But, probably the most memorable of the movie's songs are performed by Aretha Franklin.  Her voice is fantastic, beyond description.  She is convincing, acting as well as music, what she really wants from her loser husband is respect and for him to just think.  Don't we all feel that sometime or another.

Can't say more than that.

The letter Y
Has finally arrived! I'm betting on a lot of "Yesterdays" for this one. But I have another song running through this tired brain.
Let's hear it for:

Your Love is Lifting Me Higher...


as performed in Ghostbusters II.
 will always miss Harold Ramis, love Bill Murray, laugh at Dan Ackroyd, and enjoy Ernie Hudson with his talents.
