R&B music paraphrase
R&B also known as Rhythm and Blues is mainly popular for combining gospel, jazz, and blues into one musical genre. This genre was first performed by African Americans and was known for bringing out strong and particular emotions by the singer by using blues and soulful lyrics in their songs. This genre first came to be recognized in religious black African churches. The ministers would encourage the singers in the church to "testify" their faith by singing about deep and personal life experiences that are meaningful. R&B was first manifested from rock and roll and one of its first hits consisted of R&B songs. Popular songs from the 1950's are called "Double Crossing Blues" and "Cupid's Boogie" by the musician Johnny Otis. Sam Cooke's hit "Chain gang" was a popular song during the 1960's. In the 1970's, the band The Who played a Motown hit called "Heat Wave". Musicians first paid little to no attention to the differences between jazz and R&B. It wasn't until the late 1980's that the term "R&B" gained its original name as its own genre.By the early 1980's, the modern style of contemporary R&B became a major part in popular American music. In the late 1980's and early 1990's, Usher, Janet Jackson, and Mary J. Blige were popular R&B artist. http://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Rhythm_and_blues

Hi Emily after reading your paraphrase that you made from your article it surprised me that its kind of interesting i think you have good reliable sources to learn off of and update your article without a problem. The only thing i saw and might add on is maybe give some examples of earlier R&B songs from the time periods your talking about. KyleAgnew (talk) 16:30, 28 February 2019 (UTC)Kyle Agnew
