【歌單】40首1991年R&B金曲

與1990年相比，1991年沒有重大變化：超過330首R&B歌曲挺進告示牌「Hot R&B Singles」榜、主宰前一年樂壇的創作團隊依舊稱霸一方，尤其以傑米詹與泰瑞路易斯（Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis）的表現最為突出，第1、4、10、11、29、32、35首皆出於他們。

1990年有幾組團體初試啼聲，甚至到今天還十分活躍、擁有一定影響力，如：與王子（Prince）同樣來自明尼蘇達州、承襲前輩部分風格的嶄新合唱團（Mint Condition）；主唱換為娜黛雅（N’Dea Davenport）、從英國正式進軍美國的新重騎兵合唱團（The Brand New Heavies）；推出首張專輯《高度和諧》（Cooleyhighharmony）的大人小孩雙拍檔（Boyz II Men）；與公共宣告合唱團（Public Announcement）攜手出道的勞凱利（R. Kelly）；凱西與巧巧二重唱（K-Ci & JoJo）兄弟原先發跡的喬戴西合唱團（Jodeci）。
