Soho Weekly News music critic Steve Bloom in 1979 shared headlines with Belushi, some stating, “Can Belushi sing the whites?” and “Why the Brothers ain’t got no blues.” “That’s not the purpose of the Blues Brothers,” Belushi said. “I say on the record, ‘Buy as many blues records as you can.’ introduce my band, which is never done. I share the stage with each member of the group, which is never done. I have Danny Aykroyd, you know; we all split everything right down the middle. I give the people, artists parts of the album. I’m putting them in a movie, you know? Nobody believes me.
Dan had been working on the “Ghostbusters” script in New York when he received the call about Belushi’s death from their agent, Bernie Brillstein.Belushi’s manager informed band member, Dan Aykroyd, of his death. Belushi’s friend, Robert De Niro, found out after calling the hotel numerous times, and reportedly dropped the phone and cried.“My first impulse was to find as soon as possible, running down the entire length of Fifth Avenue to their townhouse on Morton Street,” he said.
