#ThrowbackThursday. Today we are remembering the late, great John Belushi – American comedian, actor and musician – with the wonderful song ‘Everybody Needs Somebody to Love’ from the Blues brothers movie. He is best known as one of the original cast members of Saturday Night Live – where his intense energy and raucous attitude was on full display – his role in the film Animal House and his recordings and performances as one of the Blues Brothers.

Belushi died on March 5, 1982 in Hollywood, California at the Chateau Marmont, after being injected with, and accidentally overdosing on, a mixture of cocaine and heroin (a “speedball”) at the age of 33. His tombstone reads “I may be gone, but rock n roll lives on.” An unmarked tombstone in an undisclosed location marks his final resting place. He is also remembered on the Belushi family stone marking his mother’s grave at Elmwood Cemetery in River Grove, Illinois. This stone reads, “He gave us laughter.”
