John Belushi was a great talent, something I learned after he had come and gone from us. I'd never heard of Jake and Elwood Blues until my husband introduced me to the movie The Blues Brothers about ten years ago, and it remains one of my favorites. Belushi, I knew was funny, but I didn't know he could sing. He and Dan Akroyd made a great duo. I turn up the volume for this song every time it comes on the radio.

THE BLUES BROTHERS LYRICS
"Soul Man"

Comin' to ya on a dusty road
Good lovin' I got a truck load
And when you get it you got something
So don't worry cause I'm coming

I'm a soul man
I'm a soul man
I'm a soul man
I'm a soul man

Got what I got the hard way
And I'll make it better each and every day
So honey don't you fret
Cause you ain't seen nothing yet

I'm a soul man
I'm a soul man
Play it Steve!
I'm a soul man
I'm a soul man

Listen
I was brought up on a side street
I learned how to love before I could eat
I was educated from good stock
When I start lovin' I just can't stop

I'm a soul man
I'm a soul man
I'm a soul man
I'm a soul man

Well grab the rope and I'll pull you in
Give you hope and be your only boyfriend
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm a soul man
I'm a soul man
You're a soul man
I'm a soul man
I'm a soul man
I'm a soul man
