The characters were developed from the popular recurring musical sketch The Blues Brothers on Saturday Night Live in 1976. The film is set in and around Chicago and features musical performances by iconic R&B, soul, and blues singers James Brown, Cab Calloway, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, and John Lee Hooker.On location in Chicago, Belushis partying and drug use caused lengthy and costly delays that, along with the destructive car chases depicted onscreen, made the final film one of the most expensive comedies ever produced.In 2020, The Blues Brothers was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant. *2 item minimum per guest*
