Errrrr R&B is short term for Rhythm and Blues .. which artists have & do ....good& bad . Today especially. That’s the term. Jerry Wexler one of @AtlanticRecords foundation giants created the term while working as a writerthe @billboard race charts in 1950. #KNOWwhatyousayYouLOVE
@billboard editor PaulAckerman sent JerryWexler home to come up with the new term because RACE records was considered derogatory to a new movement of Blackfolk post World War 2. Especially in New York. Thus the Rhythm and Blues CHARTS were born ..R&B ..people #LearnYOURmusic
I mean dude (WEXLER) didn’t invent the music... just created the term ( R&B)
