Race music” is a term used in the first half of the 20th century for varieties of African American music of that time, like jazz, boogie-woogie, blues, jump blues, and rhythm and blues. Robert Palmer described it as “urbane, rocking, jazz based music with a heavy, insistent beat”. From 1942 to 1945 the Billboard category for this music was called “the Harlem Hit Parade”, and was changed in 1949 to “race records”. In 1948 RCA Victor was marketing such music under the name “Blues and Rhythm”, but it was not until 1958 that the term “rhythm and blues” replaced “race records” for the Billboard category.
