Limited Discography for R&B 1950s and 1960s

This web site dedicated to Rhythm and Blues, R&B, Delta Blues, and the 1950s and 1960s. We list discography for both popular and esoteric artists, and hard-to-find information for selected pioneers of rock & roll. This is not a listing of popular or top-selling artists, but rather a glimpse into the recordings that built the foundation of American rock during the 1950s, 1960s, and early 1970s.

Origins and History

Attention students and educators: Visit our discussion blog for the narrative section of the Origins of R&B and American Rock and Roll! R&B Narratives with Oldies Discussion We do not include so-called British invasion music. We apologize to any artist not included who contributed, but due to space limitations many are not included.
