That was what I was thinking of and couldn’t remember.

Arguably one of the best skits ever.

ROTFL! Yep, that's it.

I know there's a video of it out there somewhere because I watched it recently. I just can't find it right now for some reason. .

Billy Crystal as Sammy Davis, Jr., was funny too.

Although "The Sinatra Group" doesn't having singing it does feature musicians. This is my all-time favorite SNL skit.


The Sinatra Group

Frank Sinatra.....Phil Hartman
Sinead O'Conner.....Jan Hooks
Billy Idol.....Sting
Luther Campbell.....Chris Rock
Steve Lawrence.....Mike Myers
Eydie Gorme.....Victoria Jackson

The amazing thing about Belushi’s version of Joe Cocker is that it was probably better than Cocker had done himself for years.

The Blues Brothers were amazing too.

When I first saw the skit in the 70’s and realized they were really singing, dancing and playing I knew it was something special.

I agree Murphy as Brown in the Hot Tub is a real keeper.

Piscopo and Murphy as Sinatra and Stevie Wonder Ebony and Ivory also.

I don't think the Blues Brothers was a skit. I think it was intended as a serious performance.

Actually, John first did Cocker in Season 1, episode 3, hosted by Rob Reiner.

Belushi had been doing it for some time. I saw him do it with National Lampoon's Lemmings tour in the summer of 1974.

There were several actors on that tour that went to be stars with SNL. Chevy Chase did a hilarious parody of John Denver-esque Rocky Mountain songs.

Thanks!

I didn’t do so bad, memory-wise, for something 25 years old.

That was awesome! Thank you!

I don’t think I’ve seen that in decades!

That was back when SNL didn’t have to be politically correct.
