There was also increasing emphasis on the electric guitar as a lead instrument, as well as the piano. Late in 1940s In 1949, the term Rhythm and Blues replaced the Billboard categoryHarlem Hit Parade Also in 1949, a new version of a 1920s blues song, Aint Nobodys Business was a #4 hit for Jimmy Witherspoon, and Louis Jordan and the Tympany Five once again made the top 5 . Late in 1950s Film makers took advantage of the popularity of rhythm and blues musicians as rock n roll musicians beginning in 1956. Late in 1970s By the 1970s, the term rhythm and blues was being used as a blanket term for soul, funk, and disco. Around the same time, earlier RB was an influence on British pub rock and later, the mod revival.
