Even though he wasn't a Classic Rock artist, John Belushi contributed to the music world with great songs from the Blue Brothers album 'Briefcase Full of Blues.' After all, "I May Be Gone, But Rock-n-Roll Lives On" is inscribed on his tombstone.

It was a sad day March 5th, 1982, when John was found in a hotel, dead from an accidental overdose of Heroin and Cocaine. We loved him on Saturday Night Live and in movies including 'The Blues Brothers' and 'Animal House.' An amazing talent who's life was cut far too short.

For this week's Classic Rock Throwback Thursday, we'd like to dedicate it to Jake Blues, Bluto and John Belushi. Enjoy 'Everybody Needs Somebody To Love' and 'Soul Man.'
