Music Graffiti / Blues Brothers


Reverend Cleophus James (James Brown) ...		... involved in "his" service

The choir and the faithful ...		... are enthusiasts

The joy is everywhere		Jumps of joy

Even Jakie Blues is stunned		And he tries to convince Elwood Blues

Something is moving inside him		He is illuminated

"I see the light!"		"The Band!!!"

The Little church is illuminated		"Do you see the light?"

The selected		"He sees the light!"

Jakie Blues in the service		Overwhelming

Uncontrollable		A new follower for Rev. Cleophus James?

Aretha and "Think": the soul queen is back



The Blues Brothers wants to join again the old band		But the guitarist Matt "Guitar" has married and now has a cafeteria

"You better think about what you're trying to do to me"		"Yeah, think, let your mind go, let yourself be free"

"Yes, think"		"Think!"

Oh freedom (freedom), freedom (freedom), freedom, yeah freedom		Aretha Franklin: the only soul queen that dance (and what dance) wearing slippers and dirty apron

The Blues Brothers are worried		Matt's wife has many doubts

But it's impossible to stop the rhythm & blues		"You need me (need me) and I need you (don't you know)"

"There ain't nothing you could ask I could answer you but I won't (I won't)"		I was gonna change, but I'm not, if you're doing things I don't

Oh freedom (freedom), freedom (freedom), freedom, yeah freedom		Lou Marini leaves the dirty dishes and takes his sax

Well, you can go ...		... but, pay attention.

The Blues Brothers Band at Ray Charles music shop


The instruments are necessary		Thanks God there is still the Ray's shop

You can pay him after		and you can test the instruments

a good old R&B		for example "I'm Walking" by Fats Domino

with Jakie ed Elwood Blues		at the piano the great Ray Charles ...

... and all the block		Willie Hall on drums

Tom Malone, Alan Rubin and "Blue" Lou Marini		... and Donald "Duck" Dunn, Matt "Guitar" Murphy, Steve Cropper, the band is still here.


The Blues Brothers arrives at the Country & Western Club		The show starts, behind an iron net

Jakie and Elwood Blues on the front-line		We are here for you

The powerful R&B run faster		"Gimme some lovin'"

"Gimme gimme some lovin"		But the crowd is perplex

Elwood		Jakie

Now they realize why ...		... there is this iron net in front of them

It rains beer bottles		They are impassive as always

A letter from the Direction		We sound only two genres: the country and the western

"Stand by your man". This is music		Everyone is closer

Everyone is touched		"Keep giving all the love you can"

Young and older		Even who this night is alone

Let's o ahead with "Raw Hide"		A real cowboy has a whip

The room is involved		All the urban cowboys are enthusiast now


The Blues Brothers are late		But on stage there is the great Cab Calloway - Curtis

And finally: Elwood Blues		... and Jakie Joliet Blues

The audience is warm		But the Police is waiting patiently the brothers

Let's start with a song of great Wilson Pickett		A good old R&B

"Everybody Needs Somebody" ...		... "To Love"

Everybody needs somebody to love (someone to love)		Sweetheart to miss (sweetheart to miss)

Sugar to kiss (sugar to kiss)		I need you you you

I need you you you		I need you you you

I need you you you in the morning		I need you you you when my souls on fire

Sometimes I feel ...		I feel a little sad inside, When my baby mistreats me

I need you you you		I need you you you

You know people when you do find that somebody		Hold that woman, hold that man

Love him, hold him, squeeze her, please her, hold her		Squeeze and please that person, give em all your love

Signify your feelings with every gentle caress		Because its so important to have that special somebody

To hold, kiss, miss, squeeze and please		Everybody needs somebody Everybody needs somebody to love!

"Thanks to all!"		The Blues Brothers say goodbye to the public

And they give their respect also ...		... to the friends that are waiting for them

The Blues Brothers Band and the unreachable magic of true rhythm & blues
