[Music] The Mystery of Robert Johnson's Legacy
Robert Johnson, known far and wide as The King of the Blues, remains the most enigmatic character in the history of the blues. Born in Hazlehurst, Miss., to a plantation worker in 1911, he took up the guitar after being taught by an older brother. At the age of 19, he was described as less than skillful with the instrument. Only a few years later, his talent had improved so greatly that he confounded those that had heard him play before. This gave rise to the famous legend that he'd sold his soul to the devil for his playing skill. Johnson died at the age of 27, amidst rumors that he'd been poisoned for having an affair with the wife of a juke-joint owner.
