This fitting for this thread. He will be missed for what he did the music scene.

Rest In Peace.

Create his own what??? All he does is dance. Man...I hope he can't touch that label.

 

[SoulManX]

He says that he is a fan of the old stuff and it need to be bought back...with him at the helm.

Translation: I can't play an instrument or write a melody. So I want to computerize and bastardize some old soul classics. Then I can't keep my street cred card by getting a rapper to talk over them.

The Blues Brothers are an American rhythm and blues band founded in 1978 by comedians Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi as part of a musical sketch on Saturday Night Live. Belushi and Aykroyd, respectively in character as lead vocalist "Joliet" Jake Blues and harpist/vocalist Elwood Blues, fronted the band, which was comprised of well-known and respected musicians. The band made its debut as the musical guest on the April 22, 1978, episode of Saturday Night Live.
The band then began take on a life beyond the confines of the television screen, releasing an album, Briefcase Full of Blues, in 1978, and then having a Hollywood film, The Blues Brothers, created around its characters in 1980.
After the death of Belushi in 1982, the Blues Brothers have continued to perform with a rotation of guest singers and other band members. The original band reformed in 1988 for a world tour and again in 1998 for a sequel to the film, Blues Brothers 2000. It makes regular appearances at musical festivals worldwide.
