Ha! Just surfing clips from the Blues Brothers - having enjoyed this movie a few times over the years - and this is the first time I've ever noticed freakin' Chaka Khan in the choir!
John Landis, the director, were present at the live recording of Aretha Franklin at New Temple Missionary Church, about 1969 and remake in Blues Brothers the same scene with the same song. Here there were James Brown and others (in some frames you can see Diana Ross, Grover Washington Jr and Donna Summer in the choir). Blues Brothers still remain one of my favourite picture.
For years I had thought this was an overdone scene until I went to a couple of churches where other than the open air flips, everything else here was as real as could be -and I realized how respectful to the tradition this move actually is to gospel music and historic churches
@annemartinsen7214 This is my church when I was growing up. without the flips of course. I used to ask why we got to be so extra. Then I kept on living.
I'm so old, I had a video cassette of this movie, so often watched by my friends and me it was all but worn out. It was as if watching it was a mission from God!
Whoever the Bass player is, he deserves a medal. It is INSANE what he is doing!!! I don't think I've ever heard a faster version oof The Old Landmark than this. Just phenomenal. Shout out to Reverend James Cleveland's Southern California Community Choir. James Cleveland is of course the King of Gospel and pretty much created the whole movement/art form.
Thomas Dorsey is the father of gospel music, James Cleveland took it to another level. Thomas Dorsey was the minister of music in the same church that James grew up in.
The whole movie is a giant “thank you” to black American music. They got iconic musicians to play small parts in it. Every “group” of people have their cultural contribution. The black church is no different. Listen to that tempo. A blistering 150 bpm. Yet clapping on the 2 and the 4 never wavered. In this kind of music it’s the repetition that breaks you down. You would struggle to sit still if you tried. And the lead singer James Brown, who brought repetition to modern music is the best representation of it all. Hip hop music is based on “the loop.” Repetitive unchanging cycles. The rapper does all the dynamics but the beat stays the same. James Brown introduced that to popular music. He invented the loop.
Yes it was beautiful, a real insight for the ordinary movie goer (ok some obsessed Blues Brothers ones too) into American black/white culture and music and religion in their role in that culture. The movie was so positive (if a bit cliched), but overall just fantastic!
I can’t help but notice that not only in terms of the music, but the atmosphere and presentation of this church service is both parody and respectful. Like sure parts are heightened and exaggerated, although compared with some congregations it might not be as much, but whoever put this all together was being fairly earnest and did their homework.
The late Alonzo Atkins is the choir director and was also at one time one of the directors of the voices of tabernacle choir a choir that James Cleveland collaborated back in his Detroit days.
Because this is crapping American shit approach to Christianity practice. As simple as that. You make Christianity yours, when it's existed thousand years before USA even was. CAN YOU just for a moment believe YOU didn’t CREATE anything that was not there before YOU?
My biggest regret? I never visited a black church on my many US visits. Too old now but thanks to this wonderful video I still imagine myself there jiving.
@@djjerome wow. I’m jealous. Can I share something with you? I attend a magnificent historic Anglican Church in country Queensland, Australia. Rev Sue became my closest friend after giving me the strength to farewell my beloved husband when he passed. But here’s the good bit. Our cattle dog Dave goes to Church too & is incredibly popular. We’re a very aged congregation & I let Dave roam around & kiss knees. For a bluey he’s very gentle & his contact with our mostly widowed congregation just does the trick. I’m so glad Dave & I can share happiness. But to be honest, I do wish I’d had the intense experience you had. I can feel my feet tapping now. God bless the Blues Bros. & thanks so much for sharing.

하나님께서 받으시는 예배가 되어야지. 당신네 같은 사고 방식을 가진자들이 교회에 나가면 하나님은 떠나십니다. 뭘좀 알고 씨부리세요. It should be a worship that God accepts. When people with the same mindset as you go to church, God leaves. Know something before you start talking nonsense.
I love this part of the movie , because this is the kind of churches that I go to ! Not afraid to let loose and praise God!!! I've had this movie for years and have watched it a MILLION times 💃🕺💃🕺💃🕺💃🕺💃 👣👣👣👣👣👣👣👣👣 🥁🎸🎹🎺🎷🎶🎤🎵 💒😇🙏✝️🛐
Reverend James starts his Gospel, musicians start playing music, People start Warming Up, then Jakes start to Shake and finally the Sun Comes In Illuminating Jake like an Angel fall from Heaven....Simply Genius!
I love blues brothers movie this is such a funny comedy musical movie I love this movie forever thanks mom for showing me this movie thank you mom my sweetheart me and my mom watch this movie every weekend because it makes us laughing all the time I see this movie
What a scene. I watch it from time to time, and every time I see it, it is like the first time. I love the Blue Brothers movie, but this and the Somebody to Love scenes are to me, the best in a great movie.
Face it guys, God has a huge sense of humour, he is a true Lord, he wants us to have fun nuts...very sad that we have to lose those who make us feel so good but such shootings raise them immortal, we could never forget such great performers...ever🎉❤🎉
God wants us to come to Him as servants to become His sons. These depictions and their real life counterparts, while humorous, are divorced from the church that Christ established. Look at what an Eastern Orthodox divine liturgy looks like to see what true worship of God entails.
That was no stunt double; John Belushi actually did those flips and cartwheels. I saw them tour way back in the eighties - he executed those acrobatics flawlessly. It was a daaammm good show all around. 👍
James Brown is one of only 7 people who appeared in both this and second movie, the others being Dan Aakroyd, Kathleen Freeman, Frank Oz, Steve Larence, Aretha Franklin and Jeff Morris.
This is one of my favorite scenes part of this movie I love this movie me and my friends always start laughing when this church scene part comes on TV my mom start laughing so loud this is so funny me and my family and friends would love to come to church everyday every Sunday for church to see how people act in this church this church will be making us cracking up laughing Everytime I come to this church every Sunday lol 😅😅😂
Gotta say this. With a couple of tears. No guilt trip. The people that made this kind of music were living under the most horrific of realities in a country where everyone else was free but them! Singing and dancing were one of the only undisturbed activities they could participate in. “Let them sing at night so they could work in the morning.” This song “The old landmark” was written by a guy born in 1897. He saw rough days. Our story is nothing short of a miracle. We became president of that very same country that once held us hostage. Amazing.
Listen …many Bk people STOPPED believing in a god but went to church BECAUSE of the strong culture. This was meant to be comical but it hit hard in ways they writers and producers didn’t expect being outside the community. Since then they’ve made it comical in ways that ARE DEGRADING and disrespectful. They LEARNED from this movie. 😢😢
This is one of the greatest scenes in cinematic history. Here is a a good Reverend addressing his flock while two "men in black" stand in the back of his church. He speaks of the weeping of the thousands of lost souls wandering the Earth for who it is too late. "Don't be lost when the time comes." For Jake and Elwood, their time has come. They have received a calling.This is their moment of destiny. They are on a mission from God. Will they embrace it? Will they take hold of the moment and do what is right or will they end up like the lost souls for whom it is "too late! Toooooooo late!"
I am 64, and I can still remember sitting in the theatre watching this
70. Can't remember my name. I mean, me, too, in the theatre.
😂❤🎉
Saw it with my dad when it came out originally. I was 12. Had the soundtrack on 8 track!
I'm 71 and love the Blues Brothers
58 here went to see it with my mom it was like a concert
One of the greatest musical productions ever. So glad R&B is being rediscovered ... and the Gospel roots ...
Ha! Just surfing clips from the Blues Brothers - having enjoyed this movie a few times over the years - and this is the first time I've ever noticed freakin' Chaka Khan in the choir!
Shared w/my Family this Easter morning.That’s right.Sending my Family to Church. Hallelujah.!Amen.🙏🏾😁
And I’ll be back for afternoon and evening services😂
Its not just a worship service - is a full fitness program
Have you seen the light?

I could swear I saw Chaka Khan in there a couple of times. Wouldn’t be surprised since she is from Chicago.
Aretha’s version is amazing too.
That's Her!

Today's society couldn't handle this movie along with any of Mel Brooks' movies!😊
One of the best movie scenes of all time indeed.
Hallelujah
I can't believe they made movies like this
Why, it was a spoof
I don't understand what I said
Why???

The bass player would be Donald "Duck" Dunn. The band did all the music, but re-recorded for the soundtrack album.
Come to Pentecost and you’ll experience it live 🙏
They got so many musical legends to be in this brilliant movie.
It is a pure joy to watch Belushi and Ackroyd dance.
RIP Reverend James Brown the godfather of soul.
those slide moves - a trademark . .
I saw him live at the Apollo Theater in about 1974. I’m white. I went with a group of black friends and it was a blast. What a showman.
Saw Mr Brown in concert once in Indpls . Wow !! Is all I can say ❤
I get goosebumps every time I see this.
Call and response music is so infectious to human beings.
one of the all time greatest scenes ever
Compared to today's music, this is outstanding music
This is outstanding regardless

Boom boom boom boom 😊
I remember the thrill of seeing James Brown in person! Quite exciting and mesmerizing for a 17 year old White girl.
Well, loop-dee-la. James Brown had talent the rappers will never know.
He did not however invent PCP use. He just took it to a new level.
I'm 42, from 🇦🇺, I absolutely love this movie. This needs to shown to the younger generations, make them appreciate how society should be. ❤
I was watching this when I was like 6 . I’m also 42
Yes so I absolutely love it ❤❤❤❤

the Greatest Church Musical Scene in Movie History
Let the Spirit move you.
I beg to differ. I would put this up against the opening church scene from the fighting temptations.
@@_donald.harrison04 no worries some say that Scene in the 1985 movie the Color Purple in the Church can Move U too

Best on screen preacher ever.
Love it❤I would never miss church with that music😊
This was one of my favorite scenes. I saw this movie at the movie theater.
James will save your soul, and sing some soul while he's doing it. Praise the Lord.
Shut your trolling ass door hater have a blessed life
There is no way that you can sit still during this ... WOW ...
That dude on the bass guitar is KILLIN' IT!
Seriously.....friekin jelly fingers

great music just never dies does it ?
When I woke up this morning. Brilliant James brown.
I am 67 and adore this movie. Soul, heart, and grace.
The late Alonzo Atkins is the choir director and was also at one time one of the directors of the voices of tabernacle choir a choir that James Cleveland collaborated back in his Detroit days.
“Slide on down to the Triple Rock Church and catch Reverend Cleophus” …. Great stuff !!
My favorite scene
All Star Choir! (in some frames you can see Diana Ross, Grover Washington Jr., Chaka Khan and Donna Summer in the choir).
Why couldn't church be this fun when I was growing up?
Join any southern church down south. Trust me lol
