About this deck

Rhythm and blues (R&B) is the umbrella term for African-American popular music since the late 1940s.

Key sections include: R &B Soul.; Opening What R&B and soul are.; Chapter I Naming the music.; Chapter II From gospel to soul.; Chapter III The genius.; Chapter IV Berry Gordy's machine.; Chapter V The Memphis alternative.; Chapter VI Ahmet Ertegun's empire.; Chapter VII The Stax voice.; Chapter VIII The Queen of Soul..
