Answer:

Most recordings of blues singers were aimed at the African American community in the south and were called: Race Records.

Step-by-step explanation:

race records, sound recordings of the early 20th century that were made exclusively by and for African Americans. The term is sometimes said to have been coined by Ralph S. Peer, who was then working for OKeh Records. It was used especially from the 1920s to the 1940s to indicate the audience for whom the recordings were intended. The use of the term faded as white audiences were also exposed to blues and jazz and began to appreciate Black performers and seek out and purchase their recordings.
