It traces a fascinating musical journey, encompassing every shade of the R\u0026amp;B scene, from pure blues, through jump blues and honking R\u0026amp;B, to the vocal groups and doowop outfits, and the material that heralded the dawn of the rock 'n' roll era. In the later decades the crossover between R\u0026amp;B and R\u0026amp;R saw many of the major chart names topping the R\u0026amp;B chart alongside the specialist R\u0026amp;B and early soul, so it's a truly eclectic and always highly entertaining mix of styles and influences. It will appeal not only to R\u0026amp;B collectors, but also anyone interested in the background to today's popular music, highlighting as it does, many of the recordings that influenced and then provided the landmarks in its development.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books Prime","offers":[{"title":"Audio Cd, Import, January 14, 2014","offer_id":45926268174527,"sku":"76adaed9-3e26-4649-9680-f7a8fe4cba45","price":40.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0761\/7550\/7647\/files\/9000a8f2a9f34cb905e253632bf12269.jpg?v=1785264707","url":"https:\/\/books-prime.com\/products\/r-b-no-1s-of-the-1950s","provider":"Books Prime","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
