LP 1972: ‘NO SECRETS’ (Carly Simon)
On November 28, 1972, ‘No Secrets’ was released under the Elektra label, the third studio album by New York singer-songwriter Carly Simon, which was the definitive commercial accolade for her. Recorded at London’s Trident Studios (where the Beatles’ ‘white album’ was recorded), the recording featured musicians such as James Taylor, Paul & Linda McCartney, Klaus Voorman, Bobbie Bramlett, Nicky Hopkins and Mick Jagger. Both the album and the single ‘You’re so vain’ were No. 1. Another hit from the album was ‘The right thing to do’.
LP 1978: ‘BRIEFCASE FULL OF BLUES’ (The Blues Brothers)
On November 28, 1978, the debut album of the band The Blues Brothers, ‘Briefcase Full Of Blues’, was released under the Atlantic label in the United States, which in February of the following year reached No. 1 on the Billboard charts and sold more than two million copies.
Similar to the Monkees, the Blues Brothers started out as characters on a TV show before evolving into a real band. In the fall of 1977, NBC”s Saturday Night Live had been on the air for two years and had become one of the most-watched shows on American TV. Comic actors Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi were among the most popular in the cast, but both harbored other interests as well.
Paul Shaffer, musical director of SNL and later of the Blues Brothers, recalls the beginnings of the group: “The Blues Brothers were born when John and Danny decided to sing a little blues to warm up the audience before the broadcast of SNL” To do this, they had also developed the alter egos of Jake and Elwood Blues, wearing dark suits and hats and Ray Ban glasses. The number became so popular that it was included in the show and soon after, Aykroyd and Belushi decided to record an album. Shaffer helped them assemble the musicians for the band. “We brought the kids together one by one, as the film showed a couple of years later.” They hired several musicians from the SNL band, including Tom Malone, Lou Marini, and Steve Jordan, as well as the legendary Steve Cropper and Donald “Duck” Dunn, architects of the Stax sound. They were joined by trumpeter Alan Rubin and blues guitarist Matt Murphy.
Despite coming from the world of humor and comedy, his love for the blues was no joke. “Danny had considerable experience as a harmonica player acquired in Canada with a blues band and John had played in a rock band in high school. He got hooked on the blues while filming “National Lampoon”s Animal House”. During that filming, Belushi met bluesman Curtis Salgado, who was part of a group led by guitarist Robert Cray. “It was Curtis, in sessions after filming, who taught John everything there was to know about the blues, so when we met to choose the material for the album, he was already an expert in the field”
The rehearsals immediately demonstrated the great potential of the excellent group of musicians. When the first bars of “Soul Man” were played, Cropper and Dunn looked at each other with complicity, feeling the déjà vu of having participated in the original hit by Sam & Dave. Once together, they hit the road as part of the Steve Martin show. The album was recorded at the Universal Amphitheatre in Los Angeles in September 1978 and seven weeks after its release it reached the top of the Billboard album charts, spurred on by the single “Soul Man”, which was Top 20.

‘Soul man’ (Isaac Hayes, David Porter)
‘B’ movie box car blues’ (Delbert McClinton)
‘Flip, flop & fly’ (Jesse Stone, Big Joe Turner)
‘Closing: I can’t turn you loose’ (Redding)
The band’s subsequent albums did not repeat the same success, and their career was interrupted in 1982 by Belushi’s sudden death from a cocaine overdose. However, Jake and Elwood Blues have lived on in successive reincarnations and sequels of the Blues Brothers that have been produced from 1988 to the present.
