    The Motown Sound
    • Is a style of soul music(combines elements of African
    American gospel music and rhythm & blues) with
    distinctive characteristics.

    sections, charted horn sections, carefully arranged
    harmonies and other more refined pop music
    production techniques.

    Other important architects of Motown
    Sound:
    • William “Smokey” Robinson
    • The Funk Brothers
    Rhythm and Blues(R&B or RnB)
    • Is a popular music genre which combines gospel, jazz, and
    blues influences and first performed by African American
    artists.
    • In 1974, the term was coined as a musical marketing term
    in the United States by JERRY WEXLER at Billboard
    magazine.
    • The term was initially used to identify the rocking style of
    music that combined the 12 bar blues format and boogie-
    woogie with a black beat which later became a
    fundamental element of rock and roll.
    • ATLANTIC RECORDS- the leading label in the
    R&B field in the early years.
    • 1970s- rhythm and blues was being used as a blanket
    term to describe soul and funk.
    • Today the acronym R&B is almost always used
    instead of the full rhythm and blues, and
    mainstream use of the term refers to a modern
    version of soul and funk-influenced pop music that
    originated as disco became less favourable.
    Soul Music
    • Is a popular musical genre that is originated in
    the UNITED STATES in the 1950s and early
    1960s.
    • Combines elements of African American gospel
    music and rhythm and blue.
    • Was enabled by the commercial boom of ”race”
    music, that had led too the creation of channels
    and infrastructures run by black entrepreneurs
    for black artists.
    Gospel Music
    • Is a musical genre that is mainly written to
    express either personal, spiritual or a
    communal belief about Christian life, as
    well as (in terms of the varying music styles)
    to give a Christian alternative to
    mainstream secular music.
    Rap/Rapping
    • Refers to “spoken or chanted rhyming of
    lyrics” which is performed in time to a beat
    • It is a primary ingredient in hip hop music
    and reggae, but the phenomenon predates hip
    hop culture by centuries.
    • Nowadays the terms, rap and hip hop, are
    being used interchangeably.
