    		"Jerry Wexler of Billboard magazine coined the term rhythm and blues in 1948 as a musical marketing term in the United States. It replaced the term "race music", which originally came from within the black community, but was deemed offensive in the postwar world."

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhythm_and_blues

    "(Haskell Wexler) won a second Oscar in 1976 for Bound for Glory, a biography of Woody Guthrie (whom Wexler had met during his time in the Merchant Marines)."

    "He is the step-uncle of actresses Daryl Hannah and Page Hannah."
