La tombe de Robert Johnson (1)

le texte écrit sur le monument :
ROBERT JOHNSON "king of the delta blues singers"
his music struck a chord that continues to resonate.
His blues addressed generations he would never know
and made poetry of his visions and fears.
Born in Hazlehurst, Copiah county. The recording
career and brief transit of Robert Johnson left an
enormous legacy to american music.
Preserved for the ages by the colombia recording
company, the body of his work is considered to be
among the most powerful of its kind.
Ahaunting and lyrical portrait of the human spirit.
