Which song does Aretha Franklin perform in "The Blues Brothers"?
Aretha Franklin had been the Queen of Soul since the '60s, but by the late '70s the hits had stopped coming. John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd cast her behind the counter of a Chicago soul food diner in "The Blues Brothers." Which song does Aretha Franklin perform in "The Blues Brothers"?
▼
Correct Answer: Think
(Source)Three Atlantic studio albums in a row had barely registered, and by 1980 even the Queen of Soul needed a hit. "The Blues Brothers" put her behind the counter of a soul food diner pleading with her husband to "Think" before walking out with two strangers in matching suits. She'd had a #1 R&B hit with that song back in 1968 and re-cut it at Atlantic just for the movie. She signed with Arista soon after, scored "Freeway of Love" in '85, and got the rest of the decade. A movie about reuniting a band ended up reuniting Aretha with the charts.
