@Justin Richmond : 我认为R&B是表达爱的最佳音乐类型。它就像音乐和音频中爱的速记符号。在电影中，如果要为爱情场景配乐，R&B通常是首选。R&B的根源在于福音音乐，福音音乐表达了对上帝的爱和奉献。许多福音音乐家后来转向创作流行歌曲，并将对上帝的爱转移到浪漫的爱情上。例如，Sam Cooke将福音歌曲《He's So Wonderful》改编成了R&B歌曲《She's Lovable》。R&B涵盖了从神圣到世俗的各种情感，从精神层面到浪漫和柏拉图式的爱情，无所不包。随着时间的推移，R&B变得越来越世俗化，最终出现了像Cisco的《Thong Song》这样的歌曲。 @Leah Rose : 虽然R&B擅长表达爱，但其他音乐类型也有优秀的情歌。例如，Dolly Parton的《Jolene》充满了恳求和绝望。此外，Whitney Houston将Dolly Parton的歌曲《I'll Always Love You》提升到了新的高度。这让我想起了你之前对Babyface的采访，他为Whitney Houston创作了一些最受欢迎的歌曲。
