Rhythm & Blues has been evolving in a melting pot of genres since the 70s, so no wonder it's so rich in texture.

You can hear hints of pop, funk and soul throughout its early origins, but fast forward to the current era, and contemporary artists are incorporating elements of hip-hop and electronic music to create seductive dance floor bangers.

We've gathered a sublime collection of silky smooth R&B songs that will slot seamlessly into your wedding party playlist.

Whether you'd like "Halo" by Beyonce as you walk down the aisle, "All Of You" by John Legend for the first dance or "Superstition" by Stevie Wonder to lure guests onto the dance floor, finding the right songs are never too much trouble for this genre.
