R&B is an abbreviation for Rhythm and blues, a term coined in the late 1940s by Jerry Wexler of Billboard magazine. A term used to describe popular music performed by African-American artists who fused jazz and blues. Today, the acronym “R&B” is almost always used instead of “rhythm and blues.” R&B defines a contemporary version of African-American pop music inspired by soul and funk that arose with the decline of disco in the 1980s. The genre has changed a lot since its inception in the 1940s. The style of R&B music is typically soulful and moving. The dominant style of R&B music today, contemporary R&B is a fusion of pop, hip hop, and funk.
