"Rhythm and Blues" most often describes a style of music that developed after World War II that combines
elements of pop, gospel, blues and jazz with a strong backbeat. When it comes to things with long and
complex histories (like music), we tend to forget just how strongly the present has been influenced by the
past. Pop music today is diverse and draws from many different genres; however, many of these present
day styles would not exist without the strong influence of the rhythm and blues. Throughout the mid-20th
century, rhythm and blues music dominated the music charts and dramatically altered race relations in the
United States. During Soulful Rhythm and Blues, we will gather discuss this rich history and its players as
we listen to the greatest hits and old favorites of the genre
