The Blues Brothers were a serious blues and soul duo comprised of two comedians...John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd. The group started as a comedy sketch on Saturday Night Live...but then the group was taken seriously...recordings, a movie, live appearances...and even as the music (not comedy) performers for Saturday Night Live.
