The R & B music style is short for "rhythm and blues" and was originally coined in 1949 in the U.S. to name an upbeat style of music that was emerging at the time performed by African American artists. R & B music combines elements of jazz, gospel and blues music and was the style of music that gave birth to rock and roll, soul and funk music. R & B music also defines the modern version of soul and funk-influenced pop music that re-emerged after the death of disco music in 1980. R & B music is strongly attached to jazz and jump music, and in turn influenced jazz and other categories by bringing African tribal beats to other types of music. R & B music has become popular with radio stations and there are many in existence that pay tribute to this type of music by offering a format that strictly features this particular music style. R & B music, while similar to rock and pop, often has changeable, complex rhythms that join simpler vocal, guitar and other instrumental melodies.
