"Robert Leroy Johnson was an American blues musician and songwriter. His landmark recordings in 1936 and 1937 display a combination of singing, guitar skills, and songwriting talent that has influenced later generations of musicians. He is now recognized as a master of the blues, particularly the Delta blues style."

Basically he had been interested in music his whole life but according to other blues musicians who knew him he said he sucked. but he went away for almost a year then when he came back he was better than everyone else they had ever seen

People theorize that he made a deal with the devil at the crossroads that if he could become a master at the guitar he would give his soul to be damned to hell.

video explaining the origin of the story as well as his life in general

some of his music. the last video is also the last song he recorded.

What if the people who said he sucked were just hating

Yeah buddy def did. I heard his homes said he was famous for playing like ass. Disappeared for a couple months and came back and all of a sudden the nigga the best guitarist in the world. And he wrote songs about the devil. Yeah some was up with this dude.

In for a classic op. If the b**** ass mods don't lock it up cus they abunch of b**** ass athiest.

no, during the 1.5 years he went on hiatus he was mentored by ike zimmerman who was one of the best guitarists at that time. not hard to think he practiced and improved

Except ike Zimmerman DOESNT EXIST

I don’t think there’s an open line of direct communication from humans to satan

I’m skeptical

he did exist but some historians theorize they didn't actually know each other
