Jake had a vision. It was his, the only real one he'd ever had, and he clung to it. It had always been the blues. Even back in the Rock Island City orphanage (that sweaty kid factory) Jake and Elwood were saved by the music. Actually, saved by a gray-haired janitor everybody called Curtis. He wore sinister midnight shades, a narrow black tie and a porkpie hat that he kept pushed back on his head. Curtis wrapped his waxy brown hands around his guitar neck and played the most dangerous blues this side of Robert Johnson. The nuns scorched the brothers’ days with holy threats and Curtis rescued them by night. Down in the coolness of his basement he taught them the blues and set in motion their mission: to live the healing message of music.
Silent Elwood never did put more than two sentences together, but all those lost words burned from his Special 20 blues harp. And Joliet tore that voice from some hidden darkness, twisting his chubby body, snarling at the heavens, a born sinner. They used the basement because it was secret and because the echo gave them a nice dirty sound: Howlin’ Wolf and Little Walker, slapping like a bad dream around the chilly room. And then one night, Jake brought in a gleaming E string he said came from Elmore James’ guitar. He held it tight and as it glowed in the bulb light, Jake sliced Elwood’s middle finger and then his own. Now the solo boys with soul in their blood were brothers. Jake and Elwood Blues … the Blues Brothers.

Watched a documentary on John Belushi this morning. This song plays at the end of it. Such a brilliant actor. Gone too soon.

Greatness is never meant to last in this Universe...we simple beings are only worthy of the slightest caress of Their potential...
@@nickm1815 Isn't that the sad truth. Those that reach for the stars reach heaven a bit sooner.
hits home with me, I loved him. I'm still crying. Goddammit Danny why didn't you help him.
The cruel irony of a crowd cheering the "Got some cocaine" lyric...
John was a man of many appetites, and priceless talent.
So grateful for the work he left us.
Joe Cocker changed the lyrics to "got some bad news from a friend".
It was too dark by that time for cocaine.
Saw a Blues Brothers show in Columbia, MD in 1980. Belushi knocked this song out of the park. If we had any inkling as to how this described John's life, I think we would've been in tears.

Keep in mind that the pianist is the great Paul Shaffer from Letterman fame. He was their piano player years before late night TV (he also worked on SNL).
This may be one of the best covers of all time. It exudes pure emotion.
came here from "Belushi" doc.This song is literally my life.God bless you John.
Smmingly sad life. Seek Christ. Just knock, brother.
"Takes a whole lotta medicine Darling for me to pretend I 'm somebody else " Thank you John for playing my life
thank Randy Newman
Let’s face it: “takes a whole lotta medicine darling for me to protect my own self from myself…”
This song just brings me to tears for John. Tears of a Clown indeed.
I love Randy Newman and Bonnie Raitt, but John Belushi owns this song. I wonder how many in the audience knew it was nothing but the naked truth?
I love Bleus Brothers
This song resonates with me so much. I discovered it grieving for my grandmother when I was 16, I know it back to front and the words just speak to me. Yet every time I perform this song, I still get chills.
this is some serious whiskey blues, i always assumed it was a pro singer for the records, how could an actor also be singing with as much texture and feel as joe cocker, i was wrong, so wrong.
And I love his voice so real so blue's
Famous interpretation of a famous composition
😱😱😱😱😱 mamma mia che bravura ❤️❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯💯💯💥💥
i love you John
Yeah baby,
yeah I've been drinkin'
And I, I shouldn't come by, no
But I found myself in trouble
And I had nowhere else to go
Got some whiskey from the barman
I got some c-c--n- - from my friends
I gotta keep on movin'
Till I'm back in your arms again
Guilty,
yes I'm guilty
And I'll be guilty
for the rest of my life
How come baby,
how come I never do
what I'm supposed to do
How come everything I try
never turns out right?
You know how it is with me baby
You know I just can't stand myself
And it takes a whole lot of medicine darling
For me to pretend that I'm somebody else
Well, ...
😔
Did you really censor the word ‘cocaine’? Who’s benefit was that for?
@@zeroireland nope, I didn´t 🤔 looks strange, like some kind of autocorrection.
❤❤❤ I wish someone would redo this song, it's fkn killer❤❤❤❤❤
Trifecta brilliant musician actor comedian
I just might have to sing this if my partner in crime will play it on the piano
მაგაააარი ❤
To think all of this came out of a bit they did for SNL, John really just wanted an excuse to make music with the best of the best and thank god he did!!
Some friends!
That piano...
Take a bow, Paul Shaffer.
Does anyone know who's playing piano? Is it Paul Shaffer?
😂
Sure is
Used to think if him as that fat guy from animal house he was so much more
39 yrs missing
From what i understand i feel like belushi may have committed suicide later had he not o.d.
His demeanor in real life portrayed a depression. The fact that he could sing such sadness and project it into you, had serious drug problems had to be underliners for something major.
Well i can certainly say in ways yes. His last 24 hours are the most important piece to answering that. Belushi hated heroin and was scared of needles. I'm sure when he arrived in L.A. it was everywhere. So for him to wind up doing enough of it to even kill a healthy man, that says something. I've tried putting myself in his shoes a little but prior to his death he was in LA to pitch a movie he was writing called ''Noble Rot'', a passion project of his that was shelved of course when he died. But if you read the script the character he's playing he's trying to identify with a kind of a post-party depression early 30's weed only kinda guy and was excited to do it. Instead they said no! We want you to be in this movie National Lampoon (Animal House) was making called the Joy of Sex where he would wear a diaper in a scene. That's a big fucking oof right there. Prior to that John was on and off cocaine. Got out of hand on the blues brothers, got clean and did a movie clean called continental divide (1981)then neightbors (1981) where again there's a cocaine budget AND he doesn't like the script because it sucks cocks. Even when he got clean it was inevitable for him to be put on a set where they feed him mountains of it literally. So when he tells a strange heroin dealer in LA, i'm afraid to do it myself can you inject speedballs into my arm for me? That was a cry for help like please fucking kill me. Mellow me out i don't wanna entertain these people anymore. And for good reason, he had so many good points the morning he never woke up.

@@adamhallz 40 years today it happened. :(
Rabbit hole...
did Belushi actually play the piano live for this? To my knowledge he could play but it's still a mystery because the live visual performance of this was either never recorded, or archived
Dude, this is Paul motherfucking Shaffer, I love my man Belushi, but this is absolutely top class musicianship, which he didn't have. Hell of a frontman, amazing actor, incredible human being, but let's be fucking real :D
@@sickboy3883 John could sing and like you said was one hell of a frontman. He was a decent musician in regards to other instruments including the keyboards and the drums
Who plays that piano?
I believe it was Paul Schaffer
check out the song funky nassau from bb 2000 movie.
Audience screaming when he says "cocaine"... such a lot of weak people, today as than.
How many drugs did Belushi have to not take,to make this album?
