15 R&B Groups You'll Wonder Why Nobody Talks About Anymore

15 R&B Groups That Had Everything Except A Fair Shot You've heard their music at the cookout, at the wedding reception, in the car on a night when somebody's playlist was just right. But most people still couldn't tell you who made those songs. This is the underground — the groups that built the sound of two decades without ever getting the credit they were owed. This countdown goes ten deep into the hidden gems of 80s and 90s R&B. From a British trio that became the first group from the UK to ever top the American R&B chart, to a Staten Island group singing on the ferry before they sang for the president, to a Cincinnati band quietly training two men who would go on to build the most important record label of the entire decade. The connections run deeper than the charts ever showed. Some of these names you know. Some you think you know. And at least one of them is going to change the way you hear everything you thought you already understood about 90s R&B. This isn't a trivia list. It's a full story — told the way it deserves to be. #RnB #OldSchoolRnB #HiddenGems underground R&B groups, best R&B groups 80s 90s, hidden gems R&B, forgotten R&B groups, 90s R&B countdown, 80s R&B countdown, best R&B vocal groups, quiet storm R&B, new jack swing groups, The Deele, Babyface history, LA Reid history, LaFace Records history,,
