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.
Who’s Making Love
The Blues Brothers Lyrics

and let me give you some good advice.
What I'm gonna, gonna ask you now
you better think about it twice.
While you're out cheatin' on your woman
there is something you never even thought of
and that is:
while you were out making love?
Who's making love to your old lady
while you were out making love?
I've seen so, so many fellows
all in that same old bag
thinkin' that a woman is made to
to be beat on and treated so bad.
Oh, fellows, let me ask you somethin'
I'm sure that you never even dreamed of
and that is:
Who's making love to your old lady
while you were out making love?
Who's making love to your old lady
while you were out making love?
I know that other women
give the other excuse.
I'm not tryin' to run your life,
boy, that's up to you, oh you,
oh oh, you you.
Reason why I ask this question,
I used to be the same old way.
When I decided to straighten up
I found it was a bit too late.
Oh yeah, that's when it all happened,
something I never ever dreamed of.
Somebody was a-lovin' my old lady
while I was out makin' love.
Somebody was a-lovin' my old lady
while I was out makin' love.
Now, who's making love to your old lady
while you were out making love?
Who's making love to your old lady
while you were out making love?
The Blues Brothers song "Who's Making Love" is a cautionary tale to men who cheat on their women. The song is a reminder that while they are out having affairs, someone else could be making love to their wives or girlfriends. The singer of the song warns the listeners to think twice before going down this path because they might end up regretting it.
The lyrics speak about the common trend of men treating women poorly and taking them for granted. The singer suggests that women are not to be treated in this manner and that they deserve more love and respect. The song's central theme is that infidelity often leads to loss and heartache, and one must think hard before turning to it. The song highlights that women are not mere objects used for pleasure, but human beings who deserve love, respect, and equality.
The song has its roots in R&B and soul music and reflects the energy of the genre with its catchy hooks and soaring chorus. The powerful performance of the Blues Brothers adds a unique flavor to the song. The rhythm and energy in the song are ideal for keeping the dance floor moving.
