The R&B music, acronym for rhythm and blues music, came into existence in the 1940s. This genre of music is particularly attributed as an African-American music. The R&B songs were originally, an amalgam of blues and gospel music and jazz sounds. However, with varied improvisation and probably inclusion of new elements, music has become more of pop beats and culture, in recent times. During the years of its formation, the R&B music encompassed the use of instruments such as drums, piano and vocals, apart from bass instruments and woodwinds. And with time, this music was popularized by its lyrics which suggested a sexual element and by its provocative nature towards dancing.
