Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance

Music Awards
The Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance is an award presented at the Grammy Awards, a ceremony that was established in 1958 and originally called the Gramophone Awards.[1] According to the 54th Grammy Awards description guide it is designed for solo, duo/groups or collaborative (vocal or instrumental) R&B recordings and is limited to singles or tracks only.[2]
The award was originally awarded from 1959 to 1961 as Best Rhythm & Blues Performance and then from 1962 to 1968 as Best Rhythm & Blues Recording before being discontinued. In 2012, the award was brought back combining the previous categories for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance, Best Male R&B Vocal Performance, Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal and Best Urban/Alternative Performance. The restructuring of these categories was a result of the Recording Academy's wish to decrease the list of categories and awards and to eliminate the distinctions between male and female performances, and between solo and duo/groups performances.[3]
The award goes to the artist. The producer, engineer and songwriter can apply for a Winners Certificate.[4]
The Champs were the inaugural winners of the award. Dinah Washington was the first female recipient of the award. Ray Charles has the most wins in this category, winning the award five times. The award was discontinued in 1968, Aretha Franklin being the last winner. Corinne Bailey Rae was the recipient of the reintroduced award in 2012. 2022 co-winner Jazmine Sullivan. Two-time winner, Muni Long. (2023 & 2025)
