Rusty Dobro Folklore: Robert Johnson at the Crossroads (13) RE: Folklore: Robert Johnson at the Crossroads 25 Mar 15

I have always understood that the original story came from LeDell Johnson, brother of Tommy, who in an interview with the ethnomusicologist Davis Evans, attributed the story to Tommy, not Robert.

The switch occurred when the white audience latched on to Robert in the 60's - in his lifetime Tommy was the better-known artist.
