The climax of "Blues Brothers 2000" was a battle of the bands between the titular group and an all-star band assembled by a voodoo queen (Erykah Badu), who certainly knew her music (Badu was also a singer, herself), as her group included:
Eric Clapton.
BB King.
Steve Winwood.
Travis Tritt.
Isaac Hayes.
Dr. John.
Bo Diddley.
Charlie Musselwhite.
Billy Preston.
Paul Shaffer (The Late Show With David Letterman).
Jimmie Vaughn
Lou Rawls.
Clarence Clemons.
Jack DeJohnette.
It all ends with the groups coming together to jam with Gary US Bonds on his 60's classic, "New Orleans". As the music plays, a state trooper (Nia Peeples, ex-Party Machine) starts to groove to the beat. I honestly think Chuck Norris saw how well Peeples fit into a uniform, so he recruited her to join the cast of Walker, Texas Ranger some time later. I digress.
As the credits roll, we hear "Mighty Mack" (John Goodman) with "Lookin' For a Fox", followed by Junior Wells and "Checkin' on my Baby", and, finally, James Brown with one of his classics, 'Please, Please, Please".
