The Blues Brothers The Blues Brothers, more formally called The Blues Brothers' Show Band and Revue, are an American blues and rhythm and blues revivalist band founded in 1978 by comedy actors Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi as part of a musical sketch on Saturday Night Live. Belushi and Aykroyd, respectively in character as lead vocalist "Joliet Jake" Blues and harmonica player/backing vocalist Elwood Blues, fronted the band, which was composed of well-known and respected musicians. The Blues Brothers first appeared on Saturday Night Live on January 17, 1976.[1] The band made its second appearance as the musical guest on the April 22, 1978 episode of Saturday Night Live. They would make their third and last appearance on November 18, 1978.[2] After the death of Belushi in 1982, the Blues Brothers have continued to perform with a rotation of guest singers and other band members. The band reformed in 1988 for a world tour and again in 1998 for a sequel film, Blues Brothers 2000. Band members[edit] Sound[edit]

R&B, Soul, Funk, and Social Consciousness | African-American Images As the 50s became the 60s, African-American musicians who worked in R&B and Soul struggled to break out of the Chittlin’ Circuit, that small network of African-American clubs and theaters that spanned the South and the urban North. While some musicians found great success others saw their success “taken” from them by white performers. The 1960s also saw the rise of Black-owned media and the increasing centrality of social consciousness to African-American music. A good place to start this discussion will be to look at the differences between Northern and Southern music. Compare this with Otis Redding’s version. We can see the differences between Stax and Motown when we look at what happens when a Motown artist covered Otis Redding. Southern artists also covered northern artists. Sam Cooke shared a gospel-inspired aesthetic and social consciousness with another Chicago performer, Curtis Mayfield. Last week we looked at the appropriation of Rock & Roll by white performers.

Jazz Discography Project The Protest Movement: The 10 Best Political Protest Songs of the 70s This 1978 single by The Clash, also appeared on US versions of their 1977 debut album (which wasn't released in the States until 1979). This is just one of many socially conscious protest songs by The Clash that could of been considered for this list. The Band was also involved with the UK "Rock Against Racism" protest movement, and their feelings towards racism was heavily reflected in their music. "(White Man) In Hammersmith Palais" tackles many weighty issues such as anti-violence, race relations & wealth distribution. The song also protests the mainstreaming of punk rock: "Turning rebellion into money" and it takes aim at the social decline in the UK: "If Adolf Hitler flew in today, they'd send a limousine anyway." For a 4 minute song it really does cover a lot of ground.

Magazine Right On! Classic Political Hard Soul-Funk Albums, Singles & LP-Tracks Sly & The Family Stone There's a Riot Goin' On (1971) Simply the greatest single album I have ever heard. This is Sly Stone's magnum opus, and it's straight out off a cocaine-induced hell of paranoia. Muddy sounds, warped lyrics, eerie guitars, droning organs, sinister bass, and that unforgettable tired, tired voice. This is as raw as an exposed nerve... The stage is set with the sardonic "Luv & Haight", a messy mixture of rumbling basslines, fatback drums, hints of brass and a world weary Sly Stone proclaiming he feels so good, he doesn't need to move. The pace slows down considerably with the drug hazed, ultra paranoid future blues of "Just Like a Baby", on which Sly and his buddy Bobby Womack moan, weep and testify while a plodding bass and spooky Hammond organ unnervingly carry on behind them. Before you know it, you feel like you've been dumped at an abandoned station where a tired, beaten up locomotive is trying to gather up momentum. "Time" is where it all collapses...
