From "Blues Brothers 2000":
Elwood is getting the band back together, sans Joliet Jake (John Belushi passed away a few years after the first film). He also recruits a blues guitar playing wunderkind (Jonny Lang), an orphan (J. Evan Bonifant), and a Chicago cop (Joe Morton) who is the son of Curtis (Cab Calloway, who'd also passed on).
Eddie Floyd, Wilson Pickett, and Lang join the Blues Brothers for a cover of "634-5789 (Soulsville USA)". Pickett had previously worked with Dan Aykroyd (Elwood) on "The Great Outdoors" soundtrack a few years earlier.
Eddie Floyd passed away shortly before the film's release. I remember reading they needed a voice double for Bonifant's musical numbers.
