Robert Johnson, a legendary and influential delta blues guitarist, singer, and songwriter, was born on May 8, 1911 in Hazlehurst, Mississippi. Despite his untimely death at the age of 27 in Greenwood, Mississippi on August 16, 1938, his impact on music remains widespread. Johnson's songs have been credited to Woody Payne (2), also known as T Colley. In recognition of his immense influence, he was posthumously inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 1986 under the category of Early Influence.

Notably, Robert Johnson is recognized as the father of [a13326465]. His contributions to the blues genre have inspired countless artists and continue to resonate with audiences today. With a unique style that blended soulful vocals and masterful guitar playing, Johnson paved the way for future musicians.

Influenced by artists such as Son House and Charley Patton among others, Robert Johnson's musical legacy lives on through his extensive catalog of songs. His impact can be heard in the works of renowned performers like Lightnin' Hopkins, Blind Willie McTell, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker and many more.

Robert Johnson's landmark recordings from 1936/37 have influenced a ton of musicians from later generations, including Jimi Hendrix, Peter Green and Eric Clapton to name but a few. However, Johnson's records hardly sold during his lifetime and he mostly played at street corners and juke joints. It took until the reissue of his recordings in 1961 on the LP King Of The Delta Blues Singers that his work reached a much broader audience.

Nowadays, Robert Johnson is considered a master of the blues (particularly of the Mississippi Delta blues style) and one of the greatest guitar players to have ever lived. He also was one of the very first musicians to be inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. His poorly documented life has given rise to much legend. Since he made non-religious music, he was said to have sold his soul to the devil (according to myth, he made the pact with the devil at the crossroads at - most likely - the south of Rosedale, Mississippi). Sadly, the devil took his soul at the age of 27. Luckily, the original 1961 collection of his 1936/37 songs is now available in remastered form. Robert Johnson never sounded so alive before.
