Down Yonder in Mississippi, on May 8th, 1911, a star was born! Robert Johnson was determined he was made for so much more than to just be another black man working his life away in the fields of Mississippi. He had the music in his bones. He experienced failure along the way, but ended up coming out ontop after it all. Sadly, his fame was cut short. Was he murdered? Was he just "ill"?  Or was it time for him to keep up his end of the bargain with a deal he made to the devil himself?
