FULLER UP  DEAD MUSICIAN DIRECTORY Poison   Robert Johnson:  Age 27
(b. Robert Leroy Johnson, 8 May 1911 (this often varies), Hazlehurst, Mississippi, d. 16 August 1938).
Greenwood, Mississippi, USA. For a subject upon which it is dangerous to generalise, it hardly
strains credulity to suggest that Johnson was the fulcrum upon which post-war Chicago blues turned…
His lifestyle, that of an itinerant with a ready facility to impress his female audience…One such dalliance
brought about his end a year after his last session, poisoned by a jealous husband while performing in
a jook joint at Three Forks, outside Greenwood, Mississippi.
