Annie Lennox - Bye Bye Blues

R&B music often incorporates urbane, rocking, jazz based music with a heavy, insistent beat. R&B songs are usually melodic with a steady, semi predictable beat that uses a bass track. R&B music usually consists of piano, guitars, bass, drums, saxophone, and sometimes background vocalists.

R&B and Reggae are both African based genres and because of that they have similar elements. They both have similar persistent beats often in 4/4 time. They also incorporate piano and bass guitar.

Reggae originated in Jamaica... and it derived from the Jamaican phrase rege-rege, meaning rags or ragged clothing, it is used to describe a raggedy style of music that grew up in Jamaica around that time.

Reggae is a genre of music that has roots in other genres as well as American Rhythm & Blues, calypso, and African music. Reggae was also developed out of rock steady music as audiences demanded a more steady beat and less all-l instrumental music. Reggae rose to acclaim in the 1970s and has spread internationally since then.
