Jake and Elwood drove into Chicago in the summer of 1979 to record The Blues Brothers soundtrack for the movie of the same name. Featuring John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd in the lead roles, it features musical numbers by rhythm and blues (R&B), soul, and blues singers James Brown, Cab Calloway, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, and John Lee Hooker. The soundtrack has gone on to endure, partly because of the respect they showed the music, the musicians and the substance behind the genre, and also because of its tremendous entertainment value. Like every soundtrack or album that has survived for over 30 years, it stands up to numerous repeated listenings. The album was released in June of 1980 and to date, certified Double Platinum by the RIAA.
