What Happened to R & B? And What It Means to Black Culture

Air Date: February 19, 2026 What happened to R&B groups, and why does it matter? In this episode of Rhythm & Roam, we sit down with DJ, professor, and author Amani Roberts to unpack the cultural, political, and business legacy of Black R&B groups, from The Isley Brothers to TLC. We go way beyond nostalgia. We discuss how R&B has shaped Black culture in America and abroad, and its global impact. Amani shares insights from his book, The Quiet Storm, explaining why the music industry shifted away from groups, how hip-hop/rap and other genres filled the gap, and what the future of R&B and music entrepreneurship looks like. If you love music, Black culture, or music entertainment, this conversation is for you. Whether you grew up on vinyl, cassettes, or playlists, this one hits different. 🎧 Our Guest: Amani Roberts: Amani Roberts is a renowned speaker, author, and DJ specializing in unlocking creativity within hospitality and music professionals.
