Introduction African American women have impacted music enormously in the 21st millenium. From the 1900s until now, African American women have made their way into the music scene recording songs that became a timeless success. Their music reflected social and political issues that were in place in their lifetime. Starting from a time of post-slavery, racial segregation, lynching, violent riots, Jim Crow laws, and the civil rights movements and into black feminism, empowerment, and strong independency, African American women have set a new precendence for much of the new music today. Whether directly or subliminaly, music today by African American singers can credit some of their success to the women before them. From the early 1920s, singers like Ethel Waters, the 1930s, Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald, and the amazing Etta James and Lena Horne of the 1950s and 1960s, the African American female singer genre has evolved so much that it requires its' very own Wikipedia page. Many singers of the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s, including Jill Scott, Kelly Price, and Mary J. Blige have sampled and been inspired by the great works before them. This Wikipedia page will explore the timeline and evolution of African American women and their role and participation in music. This analyzation will also explore the transition that Africna American women music has endured; from the Blues music to R&B. Each decade will recieve an analyzation including handpicking two singers that best highlight the events and pivotal moments of that time period. Brilovescollege (talk) 10:38, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
