Although the TCB Band seem to manage quite well in spite of their singer passing away in 1977.sam wrote:"Dragon" and "Ted Mulry Gang" lost their lead singers.

the blues brothers lost john belushi. and yes, they were a real band that produced some pretty hot selling records...most notably briefcase full of blues. dan aykroyd has since had several others taking john's place (john goodman, jim belushi, etc...)...but it's never been the same. john was definitely the lead. i think they are in fact the 3rd top selling blues revue of all time after james brown and tina turner.
thankfully the band is still all there (though duck dunn has had bouts of poor health in recent years). so not quite half is gone. though about a dozen people who appeared in the movie have died (john belushi, john candy, john lee hooker, cab calloway, aretha's sister, the penguin actress, etc...)

"Thank you very much. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the big, freaky International Hotel. Those little weirdo dolls on the walls. And those little funky angels on the ceiling. Uh, this is my first live appearance in 9 years. H-uhh! Thank you. I've appeared dead a few times, but this is my first live appearance. Before the evening is up, I will have made a complete and total fool of myself, and I hope you get a kick out of watching it." --EP
