Licks & Riffs : Blues Brothers - Minnie the Moocher
Originally written by Cab Calloway, Minnie the Moocher received a new burst of life thanks to the Blues Brothers film.
The minor 6th chord plays a crucial role in the soundworld of Minnie the Moocher:
Being a four note chord, it has four different inversions which all sound great as part of a melody:
Another chord found in the song is B7 - these two chords together sound really good over an unchanging bass:
The final ingredient is the slip down into C7 - which itself then slips down to B7 before returning home to the E minor
