I think it was formed back when blacks were slaves and had to pick cotton from the cotton fields they sang to distract them from the horrible life and job they had. I hate to disappoint the previous poster, but music existed CENTURIES before slavery days. How it was formed I don't know, but I would imagine that man noticed that hitting certain things makes different noises, and it grew from there, as well as of course the songs of birds making man want to figure out a way to make music. But yes, slaves DID sing for the reasons mentioned by the previous poster.
