Rob takes you on a brief journey of Rhythm & Blues beginning with the music of Louis Jordan and through the classic blues sounds of BB King and others. The importance of the influence of Bo Diddly is shown in the emergence of British Rhythm & Blues before the quantum leap by Quincy Jones and others into the more pop orientated Contemporary R&B of today. In this Arts Programme special you can hear tracks from artists such as Whitney Houston, Stevie Wonder, Dr Feelgood and many others.
