The full name of R&B is Rhythm&Blues, which is generally translated as "Rhythm & Blues". In a broad sense, R&B can be regarded as "black pop music". It originated from black blues music and is the basis of today's western pop and rock. Billboard magazine once defined R&B as all black music, except for Jazz and Blues. It can be classified as R&B, which shows how broad the scope of R&B is. HipHop and Rap, which have become very popular in the black music circle in recent years, both originate from R&B and retain many R&B elements.
The birth of rhythm and blues (R&B) can be traced back to the mid-1940s. Early R&B was called jump blues.
JumpBlues absorbs the horn-driven lineup performance of jazz and the rhythm of swing music, and also combines the basic overlapping singing method (riff) and string performance of blues music (Blues), becoming a A new form of music. It can also be said that JumpBlues is a combination of RhythmJazz and Blues.
Although JumpBlues largely absorbed the characteristics of Blues, it was rhythm jazz that finally laid its basic structure and formed a new musical style. But Jumpblues has a faster rhythm, rougher singing, and its use of instruments is also different from jazz and blues: the piano playing has a strong rhythm, and the most important SAX performance is sharper. Early JumpBlues was still black music: its singers and listeners were all black.
The first Grammy Awards have had R&B awards since 1959. Best R&B Performance: The Champs' "Tequila"
