R&B group
Rhythm-blues vocal act
An R&B group is a musical ensemble performing rhythm and blues—a genre rooted in African American musical traditions that blends soul, funk, and pop elements.
The term typically refers to vocal groups, often with tight harmonies and choreographed performances: Boyz II Men was the biggest R&B group of the nineties.
R&B groups dominated pop charts from the 1990s through the early 2000s.
