You might be thinking about the wrong Robert Johnson, the one I reference actually died in 1938. He was one of the originals when it came to the delta blues, the style that most rock and roll followed.Robert Johnson comes to mind. Without him we wouldnt have the bluesOk lets face it. Black music from the early days brought us to where we are now. Robert Johnson comes to mind. Without him we wouldnt have the blues, without the blues we would not have country or rock and roll. so, I guess you could actually refer to him as the great grandaddy of rock and roll. Him I appreciate. Him I actually have recordings of. He was incredible.
Now lets move on to that annoying noise that the non talent black hacks are trying to pass off for music today. I call it rap crap. There is no talent or value to be found in any of it, and if the greats like Robert Johnson, BB King, hell, even Lional Richie, Barry White (that mans singing would drop panties faster than liquer back in the day) were ever to be subjected to that hideous noise they would have given up their love for music in the first place.
If you think about it, most popular music today can be traced back to the spirituals that the negros sang in the fields.
I think its fair to say that we can all appreciate the contribution to music that the blacks made.
Robert Johnson did not invent the blues....there were guys before him....and the blues guys who were the originators of Rock n Roll were the ones who started playing electric guitar in the 40's,namely T-Bone Walker who was the first i believe to go electric along with John Lee Williamson,Johnny Shines and a bunch of others...Muddy Waters perfected it....
