THE GRAVE OF BLUES LEGEND ROBERT JOHNSON - near Greenwood, Mississippi. The recognized grave of legendary blues master Robert Leroy Johnson (1911-1938) located in the Little Zion Missionary Baptist Church Cemetery near Money, Mississippi (just north of Greenwood). An accomplished Delta Blues musician, Johnson is said to have made a Faustian pact with The Devil (he sold his very soul) to obtain the skills to master the blues. He was born in these parts, died near Greenwood, and is buried in this small country church cemetery on the banks of the Tallahatchie River. Part of the now-famous “Delta Blues Trail,” the Clarksdale Crossroads and Johnson’s Grave (along with dozens of other area blues history locations) are popular places of pilgrimage for multitudes of blues fans and musicians from around the World.
