Jerry Wexler, who invented the term rhythm & blues as a Billboard journalist in the late 1940s and went on to cultivate the careers of Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin and Led Zeppelin as a partner at Atlantic Records, died Friday at his home in Siesta Key, Fla. He was 91.
In 1949, the term Rhythm and Blues replaced the Billboard category Harlem Hit Parade. Also in that year, The Huckle-Buck, recorded by band leader and saxophonist Paul Williams, was the number 1 R&B tune, remaining on top of the charts for nearly the entire year.
