R&B Dance Funk 80s

Politically incorrect 'Pop' music charts were reserved for 'white/caucasian' artists (with Michael Jackson crossing over) and 'R&B Rhythm & Blues' for 'colored/afroamericans'. Over decades, R&B meant Blues, Funk, or Soul. After the 1979 end of disco, its continuation became R&B club play. It can be differentiated from R&B (Dance) Funk by faster tempo and more complex arrangements, including 'pop-style' melodies, while Funk is more reduced to drum beats and horns.
