Robert Johnson, born Robert Leroy Johnson (May 8, 1911 -- August 16, 1938) is among the most famous Delta blues musicians. His landmark recordings from 1936--1937 display a remarkable combination of singing, guitar skills, and songwriting talent that have influenced generations of musicians. Johnson's shadowy, poorly documented life and death at age 27 have given rise to much legend.Here he is singing "Walking Blues" in this recently discovered rare movie which unfortunately had suffered some celluoid decay.
