Wayne Cochran’s firecracker version of Otis Redding’s
I Can’t Turn You Loose
became Jake and Elwood’s entrance theme in the 1980 smash hit film musical,
Blues
Brothers.
It was also featured in Quentin Tarantino’s 2019 classic flick
Once Upon A Time In
Hollywood.
Considering his amazing image and stage presence, it’s a missed opportunity that Cochran himself wasn’t showcased more on celluloid.
