Childhood Memory: I was pretty young in the 1970’s but I watched a lot of Saturday Night Live. I remember The Blues Brothers performing the song “Soul Man” on SNL and I loved it! I have to give credit to the Blues Brothers for helping to introduce me to soul music, which has become one of my favorite genres.
