Rhythm and blues, often abbreviated to R&B or RnB, is a genre of popular African-American music that originated in the 1940s. The term was originally used by record companies to describe recordings marketed predominantly to urban African Americans, at a time when "urbane, rocking, jazz based music with a heavy, insistent beat" was becoming more popular.
The term has subsequently had a number of shifts in meaning. In the early 1950s, the term rhythm and blues was frequently applied to blues records. Starting in the mid-1950s, after this style of music contributed to the development of rock and roll, the term "R&B" became used to refer to music styles that developed from and incorporated electric blues, as well as gospel and soul music. By the 1970s, rhythm and blues was used as a blanket term for soul and funk. In the 1980s, a newer style of R&B developed, becoming known as "Contemporary R&B".

One of my favorite albums in college Marvin Gaye what's going on. Marvin changed the culture. Took him fighting with record company because did not want to produce album said too controversial. Album became overnight hit and I think most of my friends listened to daily. First time black artist addressed problems in the inner city, America and world. Joan Baez and Beatles and bob Dylan addressed social issues previously but not inner city problems.
i just sampled this song also incredible song by marvin gaye
