Robert Johnson, (born c. 1911, Hazlehurst, Mississippi, U.S.-died August 16, 1938, near Greenwood, Mississippi), American blues composer, guitarist, and singer whose eerie falsetto singing voice and masterful rhythmic slide guitar influenced both his contemporaries and many later blues and rock musicians.
Johnson was the product of a confusing childhood, with three men serving as his father before he reached age seven. Little is known about his biological father (Noah Johnson, whom his mother never married), and the boy and his mother lived on various plantations in the Mississippi Delta region before settling briefly in Memphis, Tennessee, with her first husband (Robert Dodds, who had changed his surname to Spencer). The bulk of Johnson’s youth, however, was spent in Robinsonville, Mississippi, with his mother and her second husband (Dusty Willis). There Johnson learned to play the jew’s harp and harmonica before taking up the guitar. In 1929 he married 16-year-old Virginia Travis, whose death in childbirth (along with that of their baby) in April 1930 devastated Johnson.
In Robinsonville he came in contact with masters of the Mississippi Delta blues Willie Brown, Charley Patton, and Son House-all of whom influenced his playing and none of whom was particularly impressed by his talent. They were dazzled by his musical ability, however, when he returned to town after spending as much as a year away. That time away is central to Johnson’s mythic status. According to legend, during that period Johnson made a deal with Satan at a crossroads, acquiring his prodigious talent as a guitarist, singer, and songwriter in exchange for the stipulation that he would have only eight more years to live. (A similar story circulated in regard to another Mississippi bluesman, Tommy Johnson.) Music historian Robert Palmer, in his highly regarded book Deep Blues (1981), instead ascribes Robert Johnson’s remarkable musical attainments to the time he had to hone his skills as a guitarist under the instruction of Ike Zinneman as a result of the financial support he received from the older woman he married near Hazlehurst, Mississippi (Johnson’s birthplace), and to the wide variety of music to which he was exposed during his hiatus from Robinsonville, including the single-string picking styles of Lonnie Johnson and Scrapper Blackwell.
His repertoire included several blues songs by House and others, but Johnson’s original numbers-such as “Me and the Devil Blues,” “Hellhound on My Trail,” “Sweet Home Chicago,” “I Believe I’ll Dust My Broom,” “Ramblin’ on My Mind,” and “Love in Vain”-are his most compelling pieces. Unlike the songs of many of his contemporaries-which tended to unspool loosely, employing combinations of traditional and improvised lyrics-Johnson’s songs were tightly composed, and his song structure and lyrics were praised by Bob Dylan. Despite the limited number of his recordings, Johnson had a major impact on other musicians, including Muddy Waters, Elmore James, Eric Clapton, and the Rolling Stones.
He had only one moderate hit song during his lifetime (“Terraplane Blues”), but, after Columbia Records released a collection of his recordings, King of the Delta Blues (1961), the man and his music both achieved near-mythic status. Columbia later issued the box set Robert Johnson: The Complete Recordings (1990). Johnson was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in its inaugural class (1980), and he became a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986.
Johnson died on August 16, 1938, at the age of 27, near Greenwood, Mississippi, of unknown causes. Johnson's death was not reported publicly. Almost 30 years later, Gayle Dean Wardlow, a Mississippi-based musicologist researching Johnson's life, found Johnson's death certificate, which listed only the date and location, with no official cause of death.
The exact location of Johnson's grave is officially unknown; three different markers have been erected at possible sites in church cemeteries outside Greenwood.
More recent research by Stephen LaVere (including statements from Rosie Eskridge, the wife of the supposed gravedigger, in 2000) indicates that the actual grave site is under a big pecan tree in the cemetery of the Little Zion Church, north of Greenwood along Money Road. Through LaVere, Sony Music placed a marker at this site, which bears LaVere's name as well as Johnson's. Researchers Bruce Conforth and Gayle Dean Wardlow also concluded this was Johnson's resting place in their 2019 biography.

    I lived in the Delta, and my father was living in Clarksdale when he passed, he retired from Parchman. All my family played music. You don’t find the blues, they find you. Picture yourself in the middle of the night at a crossroads, maybe sitting on a stump with only the guitar. Close your eyes, all is silent but one thing. You hear a train, you don’t see it you hear it. It is far away, the sound is train car wheels on steel rails, the rails slapping the tracks. One slapping noise in one place, another slapping noise farther down, another, and another. Be patience, and all the slaps will start keeping perfect time with each other. There is your rhythm. That is the delta blues. You're close to Money where Emmitt Till was murdered. Also the Tallahatchie Bridge made famous by Bobby Gentry.

    As a white man who’s favorite music is the blues, I have so much respect for the older generations of black Americans. I can not imagine the hell they went through. It was definitely different times. God rest their souls. I’m so appreciative of the past generations of Americans. I come from immigrants of Czechoslovakia who were extremely poor sharecroppers. Times were so tough back then. I’ve heard so many stories from my late grandpa. On another note, the man in the hat is wrong about the devil. R J admitted he met the devil on the crossroads. I assure you Satan is a real being. Some people think that if they haven’t seen something it doesn’t exist. There are many strange things that happen. For example… Do you think it’s a coincidence that many famous people died at 27?

    PS - His music reminds me of Odetta Holmes. She was also an incredible trailblazing bluesy/folksy singer that I loved. I had a boyfriend in the 70's that was in love with the woman. I surprised him for his birthday and took him to a show she was doing at a small venue in Chicago. After the lights dimmed, I passed a note to the usher that asked if we could somehow meet Odetta as a surprise for my boyfriend's birthday. He whispered to me to stay in our seats after the show. We did just that, and when all the audience was gone the usher brought us backstage to Odetta's dressing room where we got to meet her. The look on my boyfriend's face was priceless and I sure wish I had a camera! We chatted with her for about a half an hour before leaving and my boyfriend got a great big kiss from her. It was an awesome night!!

    Birthplace of the blues. Thoroughly researched that even Keith Richard would be impressed. Thanks for the upload Scot.

    Scott, you nailed it again brother. Excellent, excellent video lovingly documenting all of the Mississippi Delta points of interest in the life of Robert Johnson. Thank you Bro! Very important stuff.

    Thank you for this video! Since I don't have the chance to visit these places myself, it's great for me to see this documentary. A really fascinating story.

    👏🏼Thanks for the mini documentary. A musician friend of mine just returned from San Antonio. He stayed at the Gunter Hotel where Robert Johnson recorded several of his original songs in 1936 including Crossroads. I knew immediately who my friend was talking about and said “you mean the guy in all the movies, like Oh Brother Where Art Thou?” Yeah-that’s him!
