Here’s some brief footage of someone who looks just like Robert Johnson. The footage was filmed in 1942. Johnson died in 1938.

The film was brought to light by a gentleman known as Tater Red, who had a kickin’ radio show in Memphis for a while. He owns a shop where he sells voodoo stuff to tourists on Beale Street.

I’d say it was just silliness except for one thing — look at those hands when he plays that guitar.

Nah, that can’t be Robert Johnson.

Just couldn’t be.

Could it?
