“The location of Ray's Music Exchange in the Blues Brothers!”

You can still pawn just about anything in the store where Ray Charles was pictured singing a spirited "Shake A Tail Feather" as hundreds danced to the beat outside. The Bronzeville store -- re-created on a Hollywood set for "The Blues Brothers" -- was renamed Ray's Music Exchange for the movie and set in Calumet City. But for more than half a century, the store actually has been known as Shelly's Loan and Jewelry at 300 E. 47th. Its original owner has died, but you can still buy guitars, horns and even keyboards like the one Charles tickled for the movie and then sold to the Blues Brothers band. You also can get electronics like DVD players and big-screen TVs. The store still advertises "Cash in a Flash," as it did in the movie.
