Black Women's Music Database
By Stephanie Y. Evans & Stephanie Shonekan Black Women’s Music Database chronicles over 600 Africana singers, songwriters, composers, and musicians from around the world. The database was created by Dr. Stephanie Evans, a professor of Black women’s studies (intellectual history) and developed in collaboration with Dr. Stephanie Shonekon, a professor of Black studies and music (ethnomusicology). Together, with support from top music scholars, the Stephanies established this project to encourage interdisciplinary research, expand creative production, facilitate community building and, most importantly, to recognize and support Black women’s creative genius. This database will be useful for music scholars and ethnomusicologists, music historians, and contemporary performers, as well as general audiences and music therapists. Music heals. The purpose of the Black Women’s Music Database research collective is to amplify voices of singers, musicians, and scholars by encouraging public appreciation, study, practice, performance, and publication, that centers Black women’s experiences, knowledge, and perspectives. This project maps leading Black women artists in multiple genres of music, including gospel, blues, classical, jazz, R & B, soul, opera, theater, rock-n-roll, disco, hip hop, salsa, Afro- beat, bossa nova, soka, and more. Study of African American music is now well established. Beginning with publications like The Music of Black Americans by Eileen Southern (1971) and African American Music by Mellonee Burnim and Portia Maultsby (2006),

Preface: RJP and the Rhythm and Blues Imagination
PREFACE RJP and the Rhythm and Blues Imagination And I will give you my heart / And I will always be true to you / And I will love you forever / If I could just make love to you. — Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds and Toni Braxton, Boomerang Soundtrack, “Give You My Heart” I’m telling you love / Boy makes things happen / You never know where it’s coming from / You never know who you’re gonna love / I’m telling you love makes things happen / You never know what you’re gonna do / Whenever true love takes hold of you. — Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds and Pebbles, A Closer Look, “Love Makes Things Happen” Cause this life is no good alone / Since w e’ve become one, I’ve made a change / Every thing I do now makes sense / All roads end / All I do is for you. — Kenny Lattimore, Kenny Lattimore, “For You” Background to the Foreground Although too young to claim 8- tracks as a part of my generation, I am old enough to remember their significance in myh ouse hold. Along with 45s and 33s, 8- tracks introduced me to a host of rhythm and blues artists who, through their voice and soulful musical renditions, narrated love story a fter love story gone awry. Songs about love dreams deferred (Brian McKnight’s “One Last Cry,” and Anita Baker’s “Fairy tales”), relationships never actualized fully (Teddy Pendergrass’s “Love TKO”), affairs slowly dissipated (Shirley Murdock’s “As We Lay” and “Hus- band”), and steamy relationships abruptly ended (Guy’s “Goodbye Love”) engen- dered curiosity and intrigue as much as did songs that told of love that never ended (Johnny Gill’s “My, My, My,” Natalie Cole’s “Everlasting Love,” and Jerry But- ler and Brenda Lee’s “ Ain’t Understanding Mellow”).
