Hell, the scene right before it, with John Lee Hooker busking on Maxwell Street, was worth the price of admission

This is one of my all time favorite movie scenes. I've watched the Blues Brothers so often to see the marvelous Ms. Aretha! I really do love Belushi and Akroyd and love the songs they are in too, but nothing can match the power of Aretha! I don't think I've ever listened without getting up and dancing wildly to this song, I just adore it!
