If you know just one thing about Curtis Salgado, let it be this: He was the inspiration for The Blues Brothers. If you know two things about Curtis Salgado, let the second one be this: he was not the inspiration for Blues Brothers 2000. In contemporary blues, artists don’t get much more towering than Salgado. Recognized for his powerful voice and commanding stage performance, the Oregonian singer has won multiple Blues Music Awards, including Soul Blues Male Artist of the Year and BB King Entertainer of the Year. He also briefly fronted Santana in the ’90s—and, again, did not inspire Blues Brothers 2000.
