Maybe it‘s due to the tape quality, but without seeing the cover or video, I wouldn‘t be sure if the singers are black or white. My first guess probably would have been white.
Oh, that clearly is a black voice, lol.
Yes, me too. A cool and fun movie. Dan Aykroyds only good movie. I don‘t get the hype around John Belushi in it, though.
I remember being 15 years old in 1980 thinking, “what does anyone see in this Blues Brothers sewage?”. 41 years later, I still don’t know.
lol dont tell me you didnt even enjoy aretha franklin in that clip?
I loved Aretha Franklin in that clip and many others. I just hated Gunda’s clip.
PS: I even put a little like on your video. You must’ve missed it.
aretha alone is a reason enough to see that movie! and then you also have james brown, chaka khan, ray charles, john lee hooker, bb king etc etc… they were really smart to include so many artists
(and yes somehow i never pay attention to those like thingies lol)
Ok, she’s not black but I just thought of her for no particular reason. A Zionist Yemenite Israeli Jew. I loved her when I was a kid. On listening to this song again for the first time in perhaps 30 years, I still love it. I like powerful voices, it seems.
Also Alicia Keys.
urgh, horrible… she sounds like the daughter of whitney and sheena easton
Definitely not black. Cotton Eye Joe.
My favourite version:
Original:
Also definitely not black, Sheena Easton, mostly to irritate Nico. Unlike Cotton Eyed Joe which remains masterful, this one hasn’t aged well for me. I kinda hate it now but whatever.
i have a black cat

i am moving on
i don’t want to talk about it
