The Commitments - Who was in the limo?

milltown · 2004-09-05 23:00:59

This came up in conversation tonight and we weren't sure who it was that was in the limo at the end of the movie. A soul/blues legend that was supposed to be playing with the band at their gig but didn't make it in time. The scene has the limo pulling up along the docks to stop and the driver asks directions to the gig…

The scene has the limo pulling up along the docks to stop and the driver asks directions to the gig from their manager, who is in his way home from the gig. He tells him the place is closed. The driver then turn to his passenger (who we never see) and asks "where to now Mr. ???????".

Suggestions so far:
Otis Redding
BB King
Wilson Pickett

Can anybody confirm it for me?
