  3. Blues Brothers -- John Landis
    [O]n YouTube, you’ll find a video of the Blues Brothers successfully dunking last year when Duke ventured into Chapel Hill. For games against the Blue Devils, the Blues Brothers don Carolina blue blazers (passed down from Blues Brother to Blues Brother). After dunking in last season’s Duke home game, Blackmore landed and kissed the videoboard camera nearby.
  4. The Blues Brothers -- John Belushi
    Said director John Landis, "The Blues Brothers is a true musical comedy. People burst into song and dance just as they do in the original American form invented on Broadway and glorified in Hollywood. But the story, the musical numbers and the comedy all have a very realistic look. The film is designed for music and is very stylized."
  5. John Belushi -- Dan Aykroyd
    After the release of Jake Blues (John Belushi) from prison, he and brother Elwood (Dan Aykroyd) go to visit the orphanage where they were raised by nuns. They learn that the Church stopped its support and will sell the place to the education authority, and the only way to keep the place open is if the tax on the property is paid within 11 days. The brothers want to help, and decide to raise money by putting their blues band back together and staging a big gig. They may be on a mission from God, but they're making enemies everywhere they go.

  8. Carlos Santana -- Family
    Carlos Santana's music is a family thing for Chicanos. It's what you listen to when you're all hanging out: Drinking some beers, listening to "Oye Como Va" and cooking some barbecue is the best thing in the world. His music hits right to the pump -- right to the heart.
  9. Van Morrison -- Music
    Long ago, Van Morrison reached that point where the influences on his music no longer mattered. It is as pointless to attempt to detect those influences as it would be for any musician to try to imitate him.
  10. Frank Beard -- Billy Gibbons
    This sturdy American blues-rock trio from Texas consists of Billy Gibbons (guitar), Dusty Hill (bass), and Frank Beard (drums). They were formed in 1970 in and around Houston from rival bands the Moving Sidewalks (Gibbons) and the American Blues (Hill and Beard). Their first two albums reflected the strong blues roots and Texas humor of the band. Their third album (Tres Hombres) gained them national attention with the hit "La Grange," a signature riff tune to this day, based on John Lee Hooker's "Boogie Chillen." Their success continued unabated throughout the '70s, culminating with the year-and-a-half-long Worldwide Texas Tour. Exhausted from the overwhelming work load, they took a three-year break, then switched labels and returned to form with Deguello and El Loco, both harbingers of what was to come.
