I remember one time my dad called me out in the living room and this scene was on TV. He only did probably because I loved Ray Charles’ music. That’s where I first heard of The Blues Brothers. Months later, the Minnie the Moocher scene was enough to convince me to watch the whole movie. I did and I loved it. Now, it’s my favorite movie of all time.

@jondunmore4268

2y↑8

I believe that Jake notices the cable is not plugged in to any speaker. Same result - the electric piano shouldn't be able to make any noise without going through a speaker via the quarter-inch cable, which isn't plugged in.

Lol I always thought it was just some loose wires sticking out of the side of the piano, but I like your interpretation better!

Its a Fender-Rhodes Mk1 Suitcase piano, it will make sound without being plugged into anything, just pretty quiet and unlikely to be heard over other instruments (and, in fact, you pretty much can't hear it anymore once the rest of the band starts playing and Ray starts singing)

I don't say this loosely. This is my favorite movie. There is a lot going on here, first of course, it's a documentary of the greatest artist in Soul, Rhythm and Blues, however, at the time, disco and pop were prevalent, and this movie was pointing back to the great music that was shelved by the music industry to keep making money off new crap. Don't believe me, hows the music today, huh.

I was 12 years old when this movie hit the theaters in 1980, and I remember tagging along with my sister and her boyfriend to go see it and just being blown away! within 2 weeks I went back to the show (Chicago Theatre baby! )and saw it again! and these were the days where you could pay for your ticket and sit in there all day if you liked and that's exactly what I did!!!
