I don't know when or how the legend began, but I think part of Johnson's successful legacy has been due to the story that he met the devil at the crossroads and sold his soul for great musical talent and worldly fame. If there's any truth to it, the devil sure came early enough to collect his due. But I think people will still talk about the legend of Robert Johnson for ages to come. It's men like Johnson that are truly immortal.
