How big an influence on popular music was Robert Leroy Johnson? He was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame during its opening, 48 years after his death. Although during his life his records sold poorly, musicians have been covering his material for decades. There are legends about his meeting at the crossroads to make a deal with the devil but it’s a fact that without Robert Johnson, blues and rock would not sound the same today. Join KZSC as we celebrate the 100th birthday of Robert Johnson Monday, May 9th. Giveaways of the new Centennial Edition of his recordings will be part of the fun. Tune in between 6 and 9 am for your chance to win.
