  • Рой Бра́ун (англ. Roy Brown; род. 10 сентября 1925 — 25 мая 1981) — американский джамп-блюзовый музыкант, пионер ритм-н-блюза. Считается, что его работы 1940-х годов «вымостили путь» к возникновению рок-н-ролла. Музыкальный сайт AllMusic пишет, что если попытаться «составить короткий список исполнителей, оказавших самое важное влияние на становление рок-н-ролла», «имя Роя Брауна будет недалеко от самой вершины [списка]». Сайт называет его «инноватором», «звездой ритм-н-блюза, чьи буйные творения непосредственно предвосхитили восход рока». Рой Браун был включен в Зал славы блюза в 1981 году. (ru)
