It traces a fascinating musical journey, encompassing every shade of the R&B scene, from pure blues, through jump blues and honking R&B, to the vocal groups and doowop outfits, and the material that heralded the dawn of the rock \u2018n\u2019 roll era. In the later decades the crossover between R&B and R&R saw many of the major chart names topping the R&B chart alongside the specialist R&B and early soul, so it\u2019s a truly eclectic and always highly entertaining mix of styles and influences. It will appeal not only to R&B collectors, but also anyone interested in the background to today\u2019s popular music, highlighting as it does, many of the recordings that influenced and then provided the landmarks in its development.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Republished by Blog Post Promoter<\/a><\/small><\/p>\n \t\t\t<\/div>\n <\/p>\n \t<\/div>\n
