1. Robert Johnson (Robert Leroy Johnson, Hazlehurst, Mississippi, May 8, 1911- Greenwood, Mississippi, August 16, 1938) was an American blues singer, guitarist and songwriter, among the most famous of Delta blues musicians.
His landmark recordings from 1936–1937 display a remarkable combination of singing, guitar skills, and songwriting talent that have influenced generations of musicians. Johnson's shadowy, poorly documented life and death at age 27 have given rise to much legend.
The first songs to appear were Terraplane Blues and Last Fair Deal Gone Down, Terraplane Blues became a moderate regional hit, selling 5,000 copies.
Other songs Johnson recorded were Come On In My Kitchen, Kind Hearted Woman Blues, I Believe I'll Dust My Broom, and Cross Road Blues.
Come on in My Kitchen included the lines:
"The woman I love took from my best friend / Some joker got lucky, stole her back again / You better come on in my kitchen, it's going to be rainin' outdoors."
In Crossroad Blues, another of his songs, he sang:
"I went to the crossroads, fell down on my knees / I went to the crossroads, fell down on my knees / I asked the Lord above, have mercy, save poor Bob if you please / Uumb, standing at the crossroads I tried to flag a ride / Standing at the crossroads I tried to flag a ride / Ain't nobody seem to know me, everybody pass me by."
Stones In My Passway and Me And The Devil are both about betrayal, a recurrent theme in country blues. Hell Hound On My Trail utilises another common theme: fear of the Devil. Other themes in Johnson's music include impotence (Dead Shrimp Blues and Phonograph Blues) and infidelity (Terraplane Blues, If I Had Possession Over Judgement Day and Love in Vain).
The most widely-known legend surrounding Robert Johnson says that he sold his soul to the Devil at the crossroads of U.S. Highway 61 and U.S. Highway 49 in Clarksdale, Mississippi in exchange for prowess in playing the guitar. Actually, the location Johnson made reference to is a short distance away from that intersection. The legend was told mainly by Son House, but finds no corroboration in any of Johnson's work, despite titles like Me and the Devil Blues and Hellhound on My Trail. With this said, the song Cross Road Blues is both widely and loosely interpreted by many as a descriptive encounter of Johnson selling his soul.
The older Tommy Johnson (no relation, although it is speculated that they were cousins), by contrast, also claimed to have sold his soul to the Devil. The story goes that if one would go to the crossroads a little before midnight and begin to play the guitar, a large black man would come up to the aspiring guitarist, retune his guitar and then hand it back. At this point (so the legend goes) the guitarist had sold his soul to become a virtuoso (A similar legend even surrounded virtuoso violinist Niccolò Paganini a century before.
His death remains a matter of controversy. Some accounts state that he was given poisoned whiskey at a dance by the husband of a woman he had been secretly seeing. Others claim that it was just The Devil collecting his debt after the old legend of Robert Johnson dealing with the devil.
However, the latest, and unfortunately less dramatic and more plausible theory (published by David Connell in the British Medical Journal) is that Robert Johnson suffered from Marfan's Syndrome. Marfan's is a genetic disorder characterized by disproportionately long limbs, long thin fingers, a tall stature — all of which can be seen in the two photos that exist of Robert Johnson. Marfan's Syndrome is a cause of heart defects, and a complication such as an aortic dissection could lead to Robert Johnson's excruciatingly painful death.
Eleven 78s were released on the Vocalion label during his lifetime, with a twelfth issued posthumously. All songs are copyrighted to Robert Johnson, and his estate.
The Complete Recordings: A double-disc box set was released on August 28, 1990, containing almost everything Robert Johnson ever recorded, with all 29 recordings, and 12 alternate takes. (There is one further alternate, of
Traveling Riverside Blues which was released on Sony's King of the Delta Blues Singers CD and also as an extra in early printings of the paperback edition of Elijah Wald's "Escaping the Delta."

He was also ranked fifth in Rolling Stone's list of 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time.
Considered by some to be the "Grandfather of Rock 'n' Roll", his vocal phrasing, original songs, and guitar style have influenced a broad range of musicians, including Muddy Waters, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Johnny Winter, Jeff Beck, and Eric Clapton.
2. Robert Johnson (c.1580-c.1634) was an English lutenist and composer of the late Tudorian and early Jacobean eras. He was the son of John Johnson.
3. Memphis-based Robert Johnson has been recording since the early '70s. Some early appearances were on recordings by the Hot Dogs, a band that featured Jack Holder and Greg Reding, later to cross the Mississippi River and become members of the raunchy hard-rocking Black Oak Arkansas.
By the late '70s, Johnson had recorded a single with the Bell Heirs and had established a somewhat regular playing relationship with a rhythm section featuring bassist Dave Cochran and drummer Blair Cunningham. The Infinity label released the premier Johnson effort as a leader, an album entitled Close Personal Friend, yet a collection entitled The Memphis Demos, which came out the following year, is considered to be a much better representation of his work, not the first time a musician's more casual performances beat out a supposedly more serious album project.

Le diable et moi
On marchait côte à côte
Près de l'autoroute
Pour que mon esprit démoniaque
Prenne le bus et parte au loin.
Il y a des choses
Qu'on n'est pas censés comprendre.
Robert Johnson avait un talent incroyable, un don, mais qu'il souffrait d'un déséquilibre.
On l'entend dans sa musique.
Quelque chose ne tournait pas rond dans la vie de Robert Johnson et c'étais le cas pour jimi Hendrix, pour Kurt Cobain et tous ceux du club des 27.
Agent Smith
Had to "google translate" that action:
The devil and me
We walked side by side
Near the highway
For my demonic spirit
Take the bus and leave in the distance.
There are things
That we are not supposed to understand.
Robert Johnson had an incredible talent, a gift, but he was suffering from an imbalance.
We hear him in his music.
Something was wrong in the life of Robert Johnson and it was the case for Jim Hendrix, for Kurt Cobain and everyone in the club of 27.

Just watched the new Netflix documentary about Robert.
Made me appreciate his work even more.. AMAZING.

Don't know his history, but it would have to be really bad to beat Blind Willie McTell's (Statesboro Blues) hard luck story.

The "documentary" was pretty shit in my opinion. It was about 50 minutes long and essentially all they said was two or three things that wasn't already in the liner notes of vol 1 and 2 of king of the blues singers. I regret watching it. I appreciated being able to hear the single memory his son had of him but it was a waste of time overall.

Topcat when his first wife died her parents blamed him and said it was because he played the devils music, he was also talking guitar less from a man from another town and they would practice in a graveyard his teacher said no one would complain out her, people seen them practice out there and assumed the worst be he didn’t sale his soul .

Steven Black thank you so much! My boyfriend is obsessed with Robert Johnson but he dislikes that Netflix doc, he says it seems like it was stitched together quick and made just for a buck. I will check out the Amazon Prime one, thanks again!

This prematurely initiated every form music inspiration to every genre rather people see fit or not denying it is just foolish. Thank you Robert Johnson and Mississippi and Chicago.

@ Deep space pilot
Inspiration always comes from somewhere in this case “Blind lemon Jefferson”, “ Blind Blake”,
and Alonso “Lonnie” Johnson…

Read the Wikipedia article on him and learn about who he borrowed things from.

I agree. That's the earliest form of Hip Hop I've ever heard at 1:30.
