Favorite band member?

I love them all, but Bones Malone is #1 for me on the basis of his absolute wailing on Minnie the Moocher.

Let's not forget the man himself, Cab Calloway. My father absolutely hated this movie (as most dads would of movies their kids loved), but he loved Cab Calloway and let us watch it when he sang Minnie the Moocher. Of course, once Cab was done, we had to turn the channel before he saw Jake and Elwood on stage or he'd swear more than the movie did.

Gotta be Steve Cropper... The man oozed cool and played the guitar like a mad scientist...

Donald 'Duck' Dunn, I always thought he was hilarious!

I liked 'em all but Mr. Fabulous had the best nickname so you know he had to be the coolest.

'Cause I'm Black you think I did it?

Tom 'Bones' Malone, because I also play trombone. In one of the deleted scenes at Bob's Country Bunker, Bob hands 'Bones' the song request list, "Because you're the tallest." If that had survived into the cinematic release, it would be one of the best throwaway lines in the film.

Matt "Guitar" Murphy.

I dig Matt Murphy, too. And I also like Blue Lou, especially the way he whips off his hairnet in the restaurant and grabs his axe! LOL
