Foreword
To do a true portrait of the legendary Robert Johnson is a nearly impossible task, since his story is highly influented by rumours, tales and stories by people who actually never met him. His importance in the music history is rather as a source of inspiration for artists like Muddy Waters, Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Led Zeppelin and others, than for an artist of his own. (in his own time) He was almost unknown until the beginning of the 60's when the first LP was released, although some enthusiast were collecting his recordings from 1936-37. The most pretentious work about his life was made by John P. Hammond (son of blues artist John Hammond), which resulted in a documentary movie "The Search for Robert Johnson"
