R'n'B music has changed from the 1940's where is was emerged in America. R'n'B original was a combination of Jazz and Blues and is stereotypically associated with Black Americans and used mainly piano and saxophones. Below is a music piece by Sister Rosetta Tharpe called 'Rock Daniel' which was realised in 1941 the music is very relaxed and where the music is so old there isn't a music video as they didn't have the technology. From this the sound of R'n'B has changed massively.
The change in sound within R'n'B has created the more of a hybrid genre of Urban R'n'B which includes more elements of soul and hip-hop, this introduced the instruments of the drum and the cords are closer together which is called close harmony. One of the major artists which broke throw with R'n'B was the famous Whitney Houston. R'n'B singles and albums where sold on CD's however in 2008 Lil Wanye took his music onto the internet which is now the nuclear source of the majority of music for all genres. The main target audience for R'n'B music is mass reaching out to those who age between 15-30. Some other audience members may listen to R'n'B through the hardware of radio's.
