כאשר מתארים אמני מוזיקה פופולרית , נעשה שימוש בכינויי כבוד, לרוב בתקשורת או על ידי מעריצים, כדי לציין את משמעותו של אמן, ולרוב מדובר בתארים דתיים , משפחתיים או (לרוב) מלכותיים ואצולה , המשמשים באופן מטפורי . כינוי כבוד שימשו במוזיקה הקלאסית באירופה בתחילת המאה ה-19, כשמוזיקאים כמו מוצרט ובאך כונו "אבי המוזיקה המודרנית" ו"אבי מוזיקת הפסנתר המודרנית".[1] הם גם היו בולטים במיוחד בתרבות האפרו-אמריקאית בעידן שלאחר מלחמת האזרחים האמריקנית , כאמצעי להענקת מעמד שנשלל על ידי העבדות בארצות הברית ,[2] וכתוצאה מכך נכנסו למוזיקת ג'אז ובלוז מוקדמת, כולל מוזיקאים כמו דיוק אלינגטון וקאונט בייסי .[3]
בתרבות של ארצות הברית , על אף החוקה והאידאולוגיה הרפובליקנית שלה,[4] כינויי כבוד שימשו לתיאור דמויות מובילות בתחומי פעילות שונים, כגון תעשייה, מסחר, ספורט ותקשורת; "אב" או "אם" שימשו לחדשנים , ותארים מלכותיים כמו "מלך" ו"מלכה" לדמויות דומיננטיות בתחום.[5] [6] בשנות ה-30 וה-40 של המאה ה-20, כשמוזיקת הג'אז והסווינג צברו פופולריות, היו אלה האמנים הלבנים המצליחים יותר מבחינה מסחרית פול וייטמן ובני גודמן שנודעו כ"מלך הג'אז" ו"מלך הסווינג" בהתאמה, אף על פי שהיו אמנים אפרו-אמריקאים עכשוויים נחשבים יותר.[7]
כינויי הכבוד הללו נכנסו למוזיקת רוק אנד רול בשנות ה-50 של המאה 20. הייתה סדרה של ניסיונות למצוא (ומספר טוענים להיות) את "מלך הרוק אנד רול", תואר שהפך למזוהה ביותר עם אלביס פרסלי .[8] זה התאפיין כחלק מתהליך של ניכוס קרדיט לחדשנות של המוזיקה החדשה על ידי ממסד לבן .[9] כינויי כבוד שונים נלקחו או ניתנו לדמויות מובילות אחרות בסוגה, כמו "האדריכל של הרוק אנד רול", על ידי ליטל ריצ'רד משנות התשעים,[10] אך המונח הזה, כמו רבים, משמש גם לדמויות חשובות אחרות, ובמקרה זה כולל הגיטריסט החשמלי החלוץ לס פול .[11]
בנוסף לכך, כינויי כבוד דומים ניתנו בסוגות מוזיקליות אחרות, כולל אריתה פרנקלין , שהוכתרה כ"מלכת הנשמה" על ידי התקליטן פרוויס ספאן (אנ' ) על הבמה ב-1968.[12] מייקל ג'קסון ומדונה קשורים בצורה הדוקה למונחים "מלך ומלכת הפופ" מאז שנות ה-80 של המאה ה-20.[13] [14] [15] במרוצת השנים הוענקו שלל כינויי כבוד שונים לאמנים מסוגות מוזיקליות שונות.[16] כמה כינויי כבוד בולטים נמצאים בשימוש כללי ומזוהים בדרך כלל עם אנשים מסוימים.
