Rhythm & Blues


 media type="youtube" key="6jCNXASjzMY" height="344" width="425" Rhythm and Blues, more commonly known as R&B, has come a long way from this above clip. Years ago, when performed live, the music was enough to pierce your soul! The live piano, guitars, bass and drums, combined with the lyrics were electric. They were enough to evoke an emotion out of anyone. The artists sang about joy, love, hurt and pain. These are all emotions that we’ve all have experienced at some point in our lives. It’s relatable....and that’s why I love it!!!!

Now, what exactly is R&B? Well, it’s a mixture of electric blues, gospel, funk and soul. It’s quite literally singing your heart out and giving it all you got. It’s letting go of all reservations and saying the things you normally would not dare to share with the world. It’s taking a feeling from deep within your soul and expressing it to the world through funky electric music!!

Got a crush? Had a bad day? Are you love sick? Did you sit in gum? Sing about it! You got the Blues? I’ll give you the Rhythm!!!!
 * The video below is BB King’s guitar solo (instrumentals). Close your door, turn up the volume and sing your heart out!
