A Grammy-díj a Legjobb R&B előadás duó vagy vokális együttes által kategóriában 1970 és 2011 között létezett. 1967 és 1969 között, valamint 1971-ben a díj hangszeres előadásokat is tartalmazott. A kategória neve több alkalommal módosult:
1967–1968: Best Rhythm & Blues Group Performance, Vocal or Instrumental 1969: Best Rhythm & Blues Performance by a Duo or Group, Vocal or Instrumental 1970: Best R&B Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group 1971: Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group, Vocal or Instrumental 1972: Best R&B Vocal Performance by a Group 1973–1980: Best R&B Vocal Performance by a Duo, Group or Chorus 1981–2003: Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal 2004: Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals
A kategóriát 2011 után megszüntették, a Grammy-díjak nagy átszervezése során. 2012-től minden szóló és duó/csoportos R&B vokális előadás az új Best R&B Performance kategóriába került.
Az évek mindig az átadás évét jelölik, vagyis azt az évet, amikor a Grammy-díjakat kiosztották; a díjazott felvételek az előző évben jelentek meg.
