Sad that most people only recognize the horns as "The Blues Brothers Intro Theme." Hopefully, NOW they know where it came from!

Now this is possibly one of Otis Redding's BEST songs.Yet the only one remembered is Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay.Another good song he did was featured in the movie "Road House",when Swayze and Lynch had their "moment".I was envious of Swayze in that scene.

From down in Alabama, with Mussels Shoals mud 'tween his toes, Otis put out this little ditty as a B side sometime in 1965. ... Holland, Dozier, Holland wrote "I Can't Help Myself" [you know, 'Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch'] for Levi & the Tops also in 1965. The Tops' tune was #1 twice in the early summer of that year, right when I was graduating high school. Otis was in Alabama, Levi et al. were in Detroit, I was soon on my way to New York; there was no internet, and AM radio anywhere wasn't playing B sides of obscure Alabama soul singles. If these songs sound alike, it's 'cause great minds think alike (and Holland/Dozier/Holland turn out to be a lot more soulful than I remember...)

It's not a rip off of Sugar Pie Honey Bunch, both songs were produced and written under the same studio and the writers and producers of both songs worked closely together.

How about a little change of pace from the sounds of England to the soul sound of Brother Otis. Of course Brother Otis is Otis Redding, another great soul performer who was taken from us far too early. This one is the first appearance by Brother Otis on the surveys and it hits at # 3235 of the supplemental supplemental chart. When Otis Redding sang, the soul just poured out from the radio or the record player and enveloped the entire bedroom. My bedroom, that is, where I listened to the radio and the record player. This one is called "I Can't Turn You Loose" and is typical of the soul sounds produced by the Volt/Stax labels back in the late sixties. And Brother Otis led the way.

Themorrisdracula it's used in the opening seen of the Blues Brothers film as just an instrumental at a faster pace. I think that's what you may be thinking about

Has anyone noticed that the main riff of this song is blatant rip off of the piano riff in the Four Tops "Sugar Pie Honey Bunch"?)

"Time Is Tight" by Booker T and the M.G.s. This came first, but those guys also played on it.

I think you might be referring to Booker T and the MG's- Time is tight
