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.
Wexler was much more than a top executive â he was a national tastemaker and a prophet of roots and rhythm. The impact of his deeds matched his larger-than-life personality. Because of him, we use the term rhythm and blues and we hail Ray Charles as Genius and Aretha Franklin as Queen. We came to know of a record label called Stax and a small town called Muscle Shoals, Alabama.
