MORNING MORNING MORNING

IT'S MONDAY MORNING HERE SO WHAT BETTER WAY TO START THE WEEK?

Jeff over at Behind The Grooves posted 'Soul Man' but I am going to subvert that one this morning by picking my own favourite




Do that AGAIN!


On this day in music history: February 3, 1979 - “Briefcase Full Of Blues”, the debut album by The Blues Brothers hits #1 on the Billboard Top 200 for 1 week. Produced by Bob Tischler, it is recorded at the Universal Amphitheater in Los Angeles, CA on September 9, 1978. Taken from a single live performance, the album features comedians John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd performing as their Saturday Night Live characters Jake and Elwood Blues. Belushi and Aykroyd are backed by a crack R&B band that includes Steve Cropper, Donald “Duck” Dunn, Paul Shaffer, Matt “Guitar” Murphy, Tom Scott and Steve Jordan. The band are appearing as the opening act for Steve Martin when the show is recorded. The album is a runaway success, spinning off two singles including their covers of Sam & Dave’s “Soul Man” (#14 Pop) and The Chips’ “Rubber Biscuit” (#37 Pop). The LP also becomes the catalyst for the feature film “The Blues Brothers” (directed by John Landis) released in 1980. The album is remastered and reissued on CD in 1995, and is reissued as a 180 gram vinyl LP in Europe by Music On Vinyl (pressed on white vinyl and limited to 1,500 individually numbered copies), and in the US by Friday Music in 2014. “Briefcase Full Of Blues” is certified 3x Platinum in the US by the RIAA.




People it's awful close! What y'all want fer nothin? A Rubber Biscuit!




People if it don't bounce back you will go HONGRY!
