R&B
Rhythm and blues music is a variety of different, but related, types of popular music produced and supported primarily by black Americans beginning in the early 1940�s. R&B embraces such genres as jump blues, club blues, black rock and roll, doo wop, soul, Motown, funk, disco, and rap. First coined in 1949 by Jerry Wexler, who would become prominent with Atlantic Records, the term rhythm and blues was used as a synonym for black rock and roll music of black musicians in the early 1950's.
Rhythm and blues began to be directed toward teenagers instead of adults. The vocal group style of the 1940s gave way to 1950s doowop, which featured close-harmony singing, usually at slower tempos. Artists such as the Five Keys, and later the Coasters and the Drifters, sang songs with lyric themes that voiced concerns of American teenagers including rebellion, school, romance, and cars.
