In addition to John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd as the titular duo, THE BLUES BROTHERS’ (1980) “mission from God” connects them with a cavalcade of high-wattage cameos, including James Brown, Cab Calloway, Aretha Franklin, John Lee Hooker, Carrie Fisher, Twiggy, Chaka Khan and AFI Life Achievement Award honoree Steven Spielberg – who makes an uncredited appearance as the Cook County Assessor, toward whom the brothers have been racing to pay of an orphanage’s debts.
