Dan Aykroyd: Once Otis Redding’s guitar players, we had them and the co writer of “Dock By The Bay and Land of 1000 deaths. Steve Cropper, the bass player that played on all those, Al Green Phil Jackson. When they joined us, that made the band legitimate. That made it a read band and it lent us legitimacy. They realised maybe our vocalist and harmonica players are limited, still you put it all together. You realise personality makes a great front man. You realise John and Danney as they spoke of us, we had respect, they spoke of us as having respect for the music and it being a tribute to those who came before. And that’s the real mission is, the mission from God, is to recognize.
