These are R&B songs that mention California, taken from the main list of songs that mention California. Originally used to describe music marketed to urban African Americans in the 1940s, the term R&B, short for "rhythm and blues," is now a very broad genre of popular music that encompasses a very wide variety of sub-genres, including soul, funk, disco, doo-wop, smooth jazz, hip-hop, alternative R&B and more. You'll mostly find songs with soul and funk roots represented here but some of the funkier G-funk hip-hop songs are here also, as well as on the Hip-Hop list. Disco songs have been put on the Electronic Dance Music list, but some might also show up here if they're electronic and funky.
