R&B Songs

The 'R' in R&B stands for Rhythm while the 'B' stands for Blues. This immensely popular genre of music was born sometime in the 1940s. It used to be a fusion of some jazz sounds, blues music and gospel music. But it has evolved over time and now includes bits of other music genres along with a lot of techno sounds. It is very difficult to sort out R&B songs. But still I have made an attempt to segregate them into different categories below, giving some of the best R&B songs.
