Great sounds! Thanks for posting (Blues fan in Australia)

One of my favourite artists

To be a good anything someone must be a good person to begin with. Mr. Johnson began as a good person and through long hours of hard work he rose to Greatness.

Stumpy Joe!

Awesome, John! It’s great to see you back at it!

This has been one of my favorite movies for years!

This is a very underrated movie

Best movie I've EVER seen!

Great research and extremely intriguing. Thankyou very much for your effort, John.

Robert Lockwood Jr learned how to play the guitar from Robert Johnson. He always said the crossroads story was BS. As a matter of fact, I don't ever remember Lockwood saying that Johnson ever mentioned the whole crossroads story. It was just a song he wrote. Johnson was in love with Lockwood's mother and Lockwood was a young teen and they spent a lot of time together playing music. Lockwood said that Johnson was a loner. He didn't really like being around people which probably led to the mystery. Having said all that, he did say Robert Johnson was a very good guitar player for his time.

I’m also 46 & this movie inspired me to pick up the guitar …it remains my favourite movie of all time 🔥 🔥🔥🔥

I’m 67 years old I watch this movie when it come out and I watch it about once a year

When I worked on the !st "Crossroads", which was to be a Broadway play, the Producer showed me that pic of RJ in the hat......several years before it really surfaced....was so exciting to finally see what he looked like! We were told not to tell anyone.....this was in 1979. This album is finally gonna be coming out soon....and of course, I ended up doing the Crossroads movie, with Macchio and Cooder, but it was a total coincidence!

Has everyone watched the Netflix show about Johnson

Thomas Edison gave us electricity, Muddy Waters gave electricity soul...

Muddy said himself in an interview with Alan Lomax that he did not meet Robert J, but that he did meet and learn from Son House. 👍🏼🎸

I Think there May Have Been Contact Between the Two. When You are a Serious and Up and Comming Musician, You Make it a Point to Get Out to See as Many of the Popular Musicians in The Genre You Love , For Pleasure and Part of Your Learning Experience!

I just finished the book, very well written. I am of the understanding that Robert’s sister has not released the picture yet.

There was some excellent guitar playing on the Crossroads soundtrack.

I just watched this movie! I really liked it.. music was great, acting was great.. Loved the guitar battle.

I first heard of Robert Johnson back in the 70's when I was beginning my interest outside the Rock genre of the late 60's Brittish Blues Scene...Crossroads by Cream being the catalyst for me to find out how they may have come to their version of one of Johnsons famous songs, my interest in old Blues was well on it's way to creating an original track I ended up writing, performing and recording which escalated after having read numerous stories about how Robert was contacted and recorded in what appears to have been a rented single room in a hotel on one wonderful day. I took in all the neance from what I listened to of those early recordings and tryed to apply it to what my soul was telling me it needed to deliver. Blues are a persons reflection, as y'all know...I like so many others are suffered my share. Blues music, as you all are well aware too is not prized with the same interest as many other genres but all us Blues lovers hang together for a reason, we all suffer some form of the Blues enough to need to share it as well. You can find the track on ReverbNation, My entry is titled " Nothing But The Blues " I wrote it as a tribute to how Robert Johnson influence helped me to go back into a simpler time and come back out in the modern age, I even built and played a Cigar Box Guitar for this particular recording but the focus was capturing the old way and I hope it did just that.

my maternal great grand parents and my dad was born in cairo. they had a tobacco store , their name was moyers and my dad was born a knight in the old hospital there .

I'm so sorry for your guitar. I have a similar problem. how have you fixed it?

Amazing, try watching LOCJ STOCk AND TWO SMOKING BARRELS. Jake Abraham R.I.P. THIS WAS HIS FAVOURITE FILM, MAYBE WE CAN SHOW THIS LIVERPOOL BLUES MAN , SOME RESPECT..by watching one of his movies

Thanks for loading this up allways wonder about the keys

There's a great documentary called "The Life and Music of Robert Jonshon" (1997) on youtube, with old bluesmen testimonials.

Don't understand how long rights could run, in 12 years it's going to be one centery since he recorded, winning no one penny and he seemed happy with this kind of life. Buissness is a fatal desease.

Best line: "where I come from a man don't play no harp he don't get no pussy!"

Thank you for uploading this movie info. I’m a big fan of this wonderful movie.

Ok . In the ending scene a bird flies up behind them shaking hands. Was that planned?

Whoops! Big mistake on my part, sorry Robert. "From Four Until Late"...

"From until Late", better late than never...R.I.P. Robert and Thanks for the Music. 🙏

real blues right there ❤

Very nice!

I love crosroad....

The more we hear about Robert Johnson's legacy, the more we want to know. Deeply talented. What could have been in a long life lived.

Loved those pics 😊

Maybe i shouldn’t admit it, but I don’t think I knew Gibson guitars were made in Kalamazoo. I grew up in Battle Creek… 20 minutes away. 😊

Does any of this mention they called him Blind Lemon Johnson cuz I have to listen later.

I’m curious what Gruhn was asking for his Gibson. Anyone know what it sold for?

2:07 Got mine on cassette tape at Al's record hut

Man them long ass fingers thou.

Another member of the 27 club

What chord is he playing in his pic with guitar?

If the mongrel tribe didn't control the music biz etc, this guy would be unknown.

6:52 looks like Robert Johnson is using a thumb pick

Great Production..I enjoyed it very much...Have the best day ever! Cool Beans 😎🎸

Two recording sessions. Insane.

I've read in various places that his family has other pictures of him. How true that is, I don't know. Either way, he's got quite the conk! In the UK, that means the man has a large nose. And he does, doesn't he? Quite the hooter on the chap.
