The First Bluesman of the Most Famous


ROBERT JOHNSON

Robert Leroy Johnson born on 8 May 1911 at Hazlehurst, Mississippi. Influenced by early blues pioneers such as Blind Lemon Jefferson, Son House, Lonnie Johnson. He influenced nearly all electric blues and rock players directly or indirectly, especially revolution electric blues at 1960s. Peter Green recording Robert Johnson Songbook at 1998, an album that explores the special cover version Robert Johnson song's.
Recording 32 song's in his life
(although there were rumors that there are songs that have not been found which is a sacred heritage for the blues player). Dissapeared for some time and finally reappeared as a better guitar player. Perhaps, he sold his soul to the devil as a reward for his brilliance grabbing the fretboard.
He died at 16 August 1938, almost certainly murdered. Some stories stated that he died because of being stabbed by a woman or a jealous husband, served with toxic whiskey, or like paying his debt to the devil.
He is a great bluesman but, he died in young age at 28 years old.....
