  • Big thanks to all involved with this, hope to meet Steven soon. Keep it coming..

  • @orgasmtron1 I know for a fact that DNA was not taken because I have personally spoken to one of Robert Johnson's blood relatives. I was not aware that Son House's story of records being handed out to "children." That would imply that Robert Johnson has more than one child floating around out there. Also, Claud did NOT make this claim until after the estate began to produce money, when Capitol Records made the first release of Robert Johnson's songs per RJ's blood relative.

  • @dragns I never try to feed the trolls, but you're a fucking disgrace. Have you ever even met Steven or calud? Been to the Johnson museum? If you had, then you would realize that steven does in fact play. Has a small and humble place where people can come and support his family legacy. You are the epitome if ignorance. And you're also telling me that if you were in his position, you wouldn't do the same thing? Get fucking real.

  • Maybe that fat nigger should get off his ass, learn to play in his own right, and stop trying to live off his grandfather's name and legacy.

  • there's a song called PK BLUES,preacher kid blues.check it out .dont know who wrote it or anyone who sang it,but i have hear it

  • This guy is fucking legit

  • Thre are still black musicians! Holy shit! I thought they were all rappers

  • his sperm must cost about 1 000 000 $

  • When house said records he could have meant money, cause the grandparents did take money when he offered. Perhaps he offered records but they refused for that reason

  • @kathyuk28 Well if they didnt get Dna, they really should. People are forgetting they wasnt just going on the old Ladys testimony, but also video of clauds mother, and a birth certificate, and it was being based upon what son house revealed in interviews about johnson handing out records to his love children

  • The Robert Johnson Foundation cannot even use these pictures unless they want to pay this individual thousands of dollars for COPIES of the original pictures he does not even have the proper rights to. There are other pictures that are owned that have never been published as he didn't get his hands on those and they are locked up in a vault.
