The band made its debut as the musical guest on the April 22, 1978, episode of Saturday Night Live.
The band then began to take on a life beyond the confines of the television screen, releasing an album, Briefcase Full of Blues, in 1978, and then having a Hollywood film, The Blues Brothers, created around its characters in 1980.
After the death of Belushi in 1982, the Blues Brothers have continued to perform with a rotation of guest singers and other band members. Aykroyd reunited the original band in 1988 for a world tour and again in 1998 for a sequel to the film, Blues Brothers 2000. Aykroyd and the band, occasionally joined by Belushi's brother Jim, make regular appearances at musical festivals worldwide.

She Caught the Katy
The Blues Brothers Lyrics
She caught the Katy
And left me a mule to ride
She caught the Katy
And left me a mule to ride
Now my baby caught the Katy
Left me a mule to ride
The train pulled out
I swung on behind
Crazy 'bout her
That hard headed woman of mine
Man, my baby's long
Great gosh almighty my baby's tall
You know my baby's long
Great gosh almighty my baby's tall
Yeah my baby she's long
My baby she's tall
She's sleepin' with her head in the kitchen
And her feet's out in the hall
Crazy 'bout her
That hard headed woman of mine
Well I love my baby
She's so fine
But I wish she'd come and see me some time
She don't believe in our love, ah
Look what a hole I'm in
She don't believe what I'm sayin'
Kid look what a shape I'm in
Huh-huh
She caught the Katy
And left me a mule to ride
She caught the Katy
And left me a mule to ride
Well my baby caught the Katy
Left me a mule to ride
The train pulled out
I swung on behind
Crazy 'bout that hard headed woman
Hard headed woman of mine
Huh-huh, huh-huh

She's sleepin' with her head in the kitchen
And her feet's out in the hall
Crazy 'bout her

This may not the most famous Blues Bros song, but I'd argue it's their finest. Absolute perfection.
Duke Lanham
Oh yeah!!!

Dan on the harp:perfection my favorite since I first heard it
William Hunter
John's wife, Judith, said it was his favorite.
Stevie Gee
All Dan on the harp makes this song magic
Marquis de Vauban
@planemaker Stimson The Original is Yank Rachell-yep performed with Taj but Yank wrote it.
Javier Mendoza
As if John wasn't already an unbelievable talent, that's Dan Akryode on the harp. They brought the best out in each other. Just phenomenal pair of talents.
