I'm leaning towards the Ray Charles scene, but Bob's Country Bunker is solid as well, as is the Aretha scene. Thoughts...??

They are all great, classic movie!

Can't forget Jailhouse Rock with Joe Walsh as one of the rockin prisoners.

Ha! I had no idea they'd done a version of that song. Not too shabby.

Still, does it count since it's not in the movie?

Not from the movie, but their live shows were greatness.

For me, it is Think with Aretha Franklin. Not only is it the best scene in the Blues Brothers, I think it is the best scene in any move of all time.
Good night, Irene.

Another vote for Minnie the moocher. Close second is a tie between everybody needs somebody, and the Ray Charles number

I'm sensing a lack of consensus, so I'd like to propose a thought that hopefully we can all agree upon: Do we all at least agree that we hate Illinois Nazis?

I always thought the Illinois Nazis was just some random made up thing for the movie until I stayed the night in Peoria, IL. Surfing through the channels I found a public access show with a young Illinois Nazis giving a report with a Nazi flag behind him. Later learned that area is a hot bed for that crap and the religious wing of the KKK is based there.
