I caught a peace on QI the other night about a blues singer I think late 50s
he only made 20 tracks but was hailed to be the master of blues i thought
his name was Robert Taylor but I may be wrong as I can't find any trace any
body got a clue thanks ken


That would be Robert Johnson - he wrote dozens of the blues standards,
including Crossroads after an incident at a crossroads where he sold
his soul to the devil. Booze was strong back then.
