	Matt Murphy (blues guitarist) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He did not have a band of his own until 1982, but did play with many famous bands.
		Some of these took a lot of his lifetime (for example, he played with Memphis Slim for 20 years in a row), some were just sessions during his work at the Chess Records (obviously, Otis Rush did not need a full-time guitarist, he could play well himself, unlike piano-player Memphis Slim).
		He can be seen in The Blues Brothers and Blues Brothers 2000 movies, where he plays a role which is partly true (the band's guitarist) and partly not (Aretha Franklin's husband).

	Reviews of The Blues Band
		For their part the Blues band judged the evening perfectly, slipping into their role as both hosts and house band with a minimum amount of fuss, but with just about enough sparkle to make the connection with Christmas.
		A word for the Blues Band at this point, as some of the complex lines and stops and starts of Ellis's material were taken in their stride by a band whose cool professionalism is often masked by their laid back on-stage demeanour.
		Bearing in mind the longevity of The Blues Band, nigh on 25 years, it may not be surprising as to the quality of the artists who have guested with the group - but then credit to the band for attracting such a fine roster.

	VH1.com : The Blues Brothers : Biography
		The Blues Brothers made their national TV debut with Belushi and Aykroyd outfitted in the bee costumes they often wore for another sketch, performing (naturally enough) Slim Harpo's "I'm a King Bee," and in the months to follow they grew in popularity, appearing on the program with increasing regularity.
		The Blues Brothers' band included top Memphis session men like guitarist Steve Cropper and bassist Donald "Duck" Dunn, who together appeared on many of the original Stax label recordings of songs in the group's repertoire; later incarnations also featured notables like bluesman Matt "Guitar" Murphy.
		In 1981, The Best of the Blues Brothers was released, further solidifying their massive popularity; however, on March 5, 1982, Belushi died in Hollywood of an accidental drug overdose, and the Blues Brothers' saga was effectively over.
