    This shows the breath and depth of Chicago's Artistic community!
    Jazz with Kurt Elling, Ramsey Lewis & others, Rock with Jim Peterik and others, Classical with Rachel Barton Pine and others, , Rap with Twista and others, Stage with Jessie Mueller, Andre DeShields and others, Blues with Jim Belushi and others, the Hollywood crew with George Wendt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and others, Ballet, Tap, (I could and should just repeat the full credits!) and Rick Bayless making dinner for everyone!
    Truly my Sweet Home Chicago!!!

      Jim Belushi is really stretching it for Chicago Blues representation. There are so many fantastic Chicago blues musicians out there that could have been tapped - of course Buddy Guy, but also Billy Branch, Lil Ed, Ronnie Baker Brooks, Toronzo Cannon, Lurrie Bell, Joanna Connor to name a few

    Wow! First...I MISS THEATRE! Ugh!
    Second...I started to get sad towards the end.
    I miss my Chicago. I should clarify. I’m still in Chicago. But it’s not my Chicago. My Chicago is full of life. Theaters, music, museums, restaurants, parks, street fairs, Navy Pier, the Riverwalk. Places I felt at home with. I don’t feel at home anymore. I never really feared my city in my adulthood. Now I feel if I went anywhere I mentioned I would be taking a huge risk with my health, my life. I hope to see my Chicago again. I really really miss it.
    Be safe. Wear a mask. Please!
    And give me if you can.

    Well it’s actors coming together for charity I think whoever started it is an actor or director they should be able to use whomever they want - they can choose to sing any song they want . Second we don’t know if they asked blues artists to do this and if they had the time or capability to follow the format It seems like it would be a bit challenging to coordinate so many people singing on beat and then putting this all together in a cohesive video-I’m sure they filmed this all separately from their homes etc -Again it’s supporting our local artists I think it’s a great idea ( theatre and film and musicians alike ) if it picks up more steam perhaps others will join for another video .

    From Robert Johnson though, a real bluessong, delta style. But more famous in the chicago blues style for sure. But I don't like this version at all, where are the real blues artists from Chicago? When the rapper started I stopped listening, and actually I wanted too after the screaming violin. This vid shows no respect about the real blues artist from CHICAGO and the whole world!
