BillyVance 35 #3 August 17, 2018 Only time I ever saw her sing was in the cafe scene in The Blues Brothers. She was perfect for that role, as were all the other soul musicians that had roles in it."Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh yeah, I saw the movie like 25-30 times when I was still able to hear with the help of hearing aids. Of course, sometimes I mis-read lips or words spoken in that movie. Like when the two cops are sitting behind a sign and the Blues Brothers went racing by, the black cop says "I don't believe it's that jet box car again!" or was it shit black car?
