What is R&B???
==Original rhythm and blues==
[[Jazz]], [[blues]], and [[[swing band]]s (for example, [[Jay McShann]]'s, [[Tiny Bradshaw]]'s, and [[Johnny Otis]]'s) also recorded rhythm and blues. [[Count Basie]] had a weekly live rhythm and blues broadcast from [[Harlem]]. Even a bebop icon like arranger [[Tadd Dameron]] also arranged for [[Bull Moose Jackson]] and spent two years as Jackson's pianist after establishing himself in bebop. Most of the studio musicians in R&B were jazz musicians. And it worked in the other direction as well. Many of the musicians on [[Charlie Mingus|Charlie Mingus's]] breakthrough jazz recordings were R&B veterans. [[Lionel Hampton|Lionel Hampton's]] big band of the early 1940s, which produced the classic recording "Flying Home" (tenor sax solo by [[Illinois Jacquet]]) was the breeding ground for many of the bebop legends of the 1950s. [[Eddie Vinson|Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson]] was a one-man fusion, a bebop saxophonist and a [[blues shouter]].
The [[1950s]] was the premier decade for classic rhythm and blues. Overlapping with other genres such as jazz and rock and roll, R&B also developed regional variations. A strong, distinct style straddling the border with blues came out of [[New Orleans]] and was based on a rolling piano style first made famous by [[Professor Longhair]]. In the late 1950s, [[Fats Domino]] hit the national charts with "[[Blueberry Hill (song)|Blueberry Hill]]" and "[[Ain't That a Shame]]". Other artists who popularized this [[Louisiana]] flavor of R&B included [[Clarence "Frogman" Henry]], [[Frankie Ford]], [[Irma Thomas]], [[The Neville Brothers]], and [[Dr. John]].
At the start of their career, [[The Rolling Stones]] were essentially an R&B band.

With the transition from soul to R&B in the early to mid 1980s, solo singer [[Luther Vandross]] and new stars like Prince (''[[Purple Rain (album)|Purple Rain]]'') and [[Michael Jackson]] (''[[Off the Wall]]'', ''[[Thriller (album)|Thriller]]'') took over, and dominated the primary schools throughout the 1980s. Jackson's ''Thriller'', which repopularized black music with pop audiences after a post-disco backlash among United States mainstream audiences, is the best-selling album of all time worldwide.
Female R&B singers like [[Whitney Houston]] and [[Janet Jackson]] gained great popularity during the last half of the decade; and [[Tina Turner]], then in her 50s, came back with a series of hits with crossover appeal. Also popular was [[New Edition]], a group of teenagers who served as the prototype for later [[boy band]]s such as the [[New Kids on the Block]], [[The Backstreet Boys]], and others.
In [[1986]], [[Teddy Riley (new jack swing)|Teddy Riley]] began producing R&B recordings that included influences from the increasingly popular genre of hip hop music. This combination of R&B style and hip-hop rhythms was termed [[new jack swing]], and artists such as [[Keith Sweat]], [[Guy (band)|Guy]], [[Jodeci]], and [[BellBivDeVoe]] (featuring former members of New Edition). Another popular, but short-lived group, with more pronounced R&B roots was [[Levert]], whose lead singer, [[Gerald Levert]], was the son of [[O'Jays]] lead vocalist [[Eddie Levert]].
In the early [[1990s]], R&B group [[Boyz II Men]] repopularized classic-soul inspired vocal harmony, and several similar groups (among them [[Shai (band)|Shai]], [[Soul for Real]], and [[Dru Hill]]) would follow in their footsteps. Boyz II Men, and several of their competitors, benefited from lush ballads from producers such as [[Babyface]] and [[Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis]], who brought Michael Jackson's sister Janet Jackson to fame during the late 1980s and early 1990s. As a solo artist, Babyface and contemporaries such as [[Brian McKnight]] eschewed prominent hip hop influences, and recorded in a smooth, soft style of R&B termed [[quiet storm]].
In the early 1990s, [[alternative rock]], [[adult contemporary]], and [[gangsta rap]] ruled the charts, and R&B artists began adding even more of a rap/hip hop sound to their work. New jack swing had its synthesizer-heavy rhythm tracks replaced by grittier [[East Coast hip hop]] inspired backing tracks, resulting in a genre labeled "[[hip hop soul]]" by [[Sean "Puffy" Combs]], producer for [[Mary J. Blige]]. Blige and other hip hop soul artists such as [[R. Kelly]], [[Montell Jordan]], [[Brandy (entertainer)|Brandy]], and [[Aaliyah]], more than their slicker new jack swing predecessors, brought hip hop slang, style, and attitudes to R&B music. The subgenre also includes a heavy gospel influence with vocal inflections and sounds. The style became less popular by the end of the 1990s, but later experienced a resurgence. The hip hop soul sound continues to be heard in the work of artists such as [[Jaheim]], [[Ashanti (singer)|Ashanti]], [[Amerie]], and [[Keyshia Cole]].
During the mid-1990s, highly successful artists such as [[Mariah Carey]], girl group [[TLC (music)|TLC]] and the aforementioned Boyz II Men brought contemporary R&B to the mainstream. Boyz II Men and Mariah Carey recorded several [[Billboard Hot 100]] number-one hits, including "[[One Sweet Day]]", a collaboration between both acts which became the longest-running number-one hit in Hot 100 history. In addition, both Boyz II Men and TLC released albums in [[1994]], ''[[II (Boyz II Men album)|II]]'' and ''[[CrazySexyCool]]'', respectively, that sold over ten million copies, earning them [[RIAA certification|diamond]] certification from the [[Recording Industry Association of America]]. Other top-selling R&B artists from this era included singer [[Toni Braxton]], singer/songwriter/producer R. Kelly, and girl group [[En Vogue]].
During the later part of the decade, [[neo soul]], which added a [[1970s]] soul music influence to the hip hop soul blend, arose, led by artists such as [[D'Angelo]], [[Lauryn Hill]], and [[Maxwell (musician)|Maxwell]]. Several artists, most notably [[Missy Elliott]], further blurred the line between R&B and hip hop by recording in both genres simultaneously.
During the late-1990s and early [[2000s]], the influence of pop on R&B could be heard in the work of several pop musicians, most notably [[Jennifer Lopez]] and the later recordings of [[*NSYNC]] and the early recordings of [[98 Degrees]]. *NSYNC's lead singer [[Justin Timberlake]] went on to make several solo recordings that showed heavy influences from both R&B and hip hop music. Other pop stars who perform heavily R&B influenced pop music (sometimes referred to as "dirty pop","urban pop", or a modern definition of "hip pop") include [[Britney Spears]], [[Gwen Stefani]], and [[Pink (musician)|Pink]].
In the [[United Kingdom]], R&B found its way into the [[UK garage]] subgenre of [[2Step]], typified by R&B-style singing accompanied by [[breakbeat]]/[[jungle music|jungle]] rhythms. Among the most notable 2Step artists is [[Craig David]], who crossed over to American R&B audiences in the early 2000s.
===Present day R&B===
By the 2000s, the cross-pollination between R&B and hip hop had increased to the point where, in most cases, the only prominent difference between a record being a hip hop record or an R&B record is whether its vocals are rapped or sung. Mainstream modern R&B has a sound more based on rhythm than hip hop soul had, and lacks the [[hardcore hip hop|hardcore]] and soulful urban "grinding" feel on which hip-hop soul relied. That rhythmic element descends from new jack swing. R&B began to focus more on solo artists rather than groups as the 2000s progressed. As of 2005, the most prominent R&B artists include [[Usher (entertainer)|Usher]], [[Beyoncé]] (formerly of [[Destiny's Child]]), and [[Mariah Carey]] whose music often blurs the line between contemporary R&B and pop.
Soulful R&B continues to be popular, with artists such as [[Alicia Keys]],[[John Legend]], [[Toni Braxton]] and ''[[American Idol]]'' winner [[Fantasia Barrino|Fantasia]] showcasing classic influences in their work. Some R&B singers have used elements of [[Caribbean music]] in their work, especially [[dancehall]] and [[reggaeton]].
Quiet storm, while still existent, is no longer a dominant presence on the pop charts, and is generally confined to urban adult contemporary radio. Most of the prominent quiet storm artists, including Babyface and Gerald Levert, began their careers in the 1980s and 1990s, although newer artists such as [[Kem (singer)|Kem]] also record in the quiet storm style. Its influence can still be seen in singles such as Mariah Carey's "[[We Belong Together]]".
In addition, several producers have developed specialized styles of song production. [[Timbaland]], for example, became notable for his hip hop and jungle based syncopated productions in the late-1990s, during which time he produced R&B hits for Aaliyah, [[Ginuwine]], and singer/rapper Missy Elliott. By the end of the decade, Timbaland's influences had shifted R&B songs towards a sound that approximated his own, with slightly less of a hip hop feel. [[Lil' Jon]] became famous for a style he termed "[[crunk]] & B", deriving its influences from the [[Southern hip hop]] subclassification of crunk music. Jon gave his main R&B artist, [[Ciara]], the title of "The First Lady of [[Crunk & B]]", and [[Brooke Valentine]] and Usher have also recorded R&B songs with strong crunk influences.
