background

Since the early 1940s, the market for so-called race records (records by African American musicians for an African American audience) had grown so much that Billboard became interested in measuring their sales. Race Music was a term that had been used by the record industry since the 1920s .

Sales charts for Race Records have been identified by Billboard as the Harlem Hit Parade since October 1942 . The weekly sales were first surveyed in an informal survey of an unspecified selection of the “most popular record stores” in the New York borough of Harlem (which was heavily influenced by African American people). In June 1949 the term Race was replaced in the chart lists by " Rhythm and Blues ".

The most successful African American artists whose recordings have appeared on major labels were Ella Fitzgerald , the Ink Spots , the Mills Brothers and the trio of Nat Cole , who with their soft sound of their music also appealed to a white audience. Louis Jordan , often regarded as the "Father of Ryhthm & Blues ", made it into the general pop music scene with hits like "GI Jive" and "Is You Is, Or Is You Ain't (Ma 'Baby)" Charts and appeared in Hollywood films. "Jordan demonstrated that there was a market for stylistically explicitly black music" that appealed to both white and black audiences. So (alongside “Five Guys Named Moe” and “Ration Blues”) “What's the Use of Getting Sober” was also one of the biggest and most consistent hits in the Harlem Hit Parade . In 1943 a total of 69 songs were placed.
