Sing With Power - R&B - Rhythm & Blues
R&B has a strong influence on almost every current style of popular music. It originally grew out of a combination of jazz, gospel and blues.
R&B singers need the vocal ability to singing throughout a wide range, with great flexibility and emotion. An R & B singer rely very heavily on improvisation, so it is important that a singer's vocal technique allows a strong, even sound in every part of the range.
