Welcome to the new “EarlyRnB” (Early Rhythm & Blues) Website

This website is dedicated to the history of original early Rhythm & Blues (R&B) music emanating from the blues and gospel music traditions from the early 40’s to the early 70’s incorporating its early derivatives Rock and Roll, Soul, Funk, Doo wop, British R&B, New Orleans R&B, Reggae and Ska.

The website is an educational information resource and acts as the custodian of unique and exclusive historical material of the R&B music genre and its derivatives.

The website is an integral part of the ‘Early Music’ group of websites incorporating Earlyblues.com, EarlyBlues.org, EarlyGospel.com and UndergroundRailroad.org.uk – full details on the About page.

This is a new website being built over time so please bear with us as we haven’t yet included all the features or a substantial amount of material. Please re-visit often as we are adding material frequently.

For now start with the About page and enjoy browsing!
