Have you ever noticed how cool the right hat can make someone look? The men of R&B have. The wearing of hats has become somewhat of a trademark for American R&B singers, particularly those who sing a lot of ballads.

So with that in mind, your Guide to R&B has crafted a photo gallery tribute to hats - and the men of R&B who wear them.
