'The Blues Brothers' was made a little over 40 years ago and remains a cinema cult classic. Starring John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd, the madcap movie helped revive the careers of several legendary R&B artists, among them Aretha Franklin and James Brown. It also briefly consolidated Belushi's career as a maverick but troubled comedian. A critical and commercial success, 'The Blues Brothers' featured a cast of celebrated actors and performers, many of whom are no longer around.
