Rhythm & blues music’s – “RnB” or “R&B” – signature characteristic since producer Jerry Wexler (Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett) and Billboard magazine originally coined the term in the 1940’s remains it’s groove to this day! The groove is simply something you can get down and dance to whether it’s Big Joe Turner, Sam Cooke, Destiny’s Child, Usher or Beyonce just to name a few.
R & B’s influence has had a profound affect on a number of different music genres, from Jamaican Ska to Doo Wop from Soul to Rock and Roll. In 1969, black culture and rhythm and blues reached another great achievement when The Grammys added the Rhythm and Blues category, giving academic recognition to the category. By the 1970s, the term “rhythm and blues” was being used as a blanket term for soul, funk and disco.
