How to play the R&B and soul debut albums timeline
The cards here are R&B and soul artists, each with the name of their debut album underneath. You line them up by the year that first album came out. To start, one artist sits on the timeline with the year showing. You drop each new card into a gap. A correct gap reveals the year and the card stays; an incorrect one still sends it to the right spot but takes one of your three lives.
You'll move from gospel-rooted early soul and the Motown and Stax generation through funk, quiet storm, new jack swing and neo-soul to the alternative R&B of the internet era. Several of these singers recorded long before their best-known work, so a debut can be much earlier than the voice you remember. The album title helps, though mixtapes and early releases can make a modern star look older than expected.
Want a longer game? On the deck tree you can tick this deck alongside any other one measured in release years and dates, and they shuffle into a single timeline together.
