  1. C.... w....

    John Mayer?! Get lost

  2. T.... E....

    "I got a girl she's long and tall, sleeps in the kitchen with her feets in the hall." One of my favorite lines, ever.

  3. D.... F....

    Who here from ne-yo singing this on red tails?

  4. n.... ....

    Well worth his soul, boys!

  5. A.... B....

    Burning Cane?

    A.... B....

    Andrew Battle this is how I found this gem !

  6. T.... T....

    Johnson's catchiest track and one of the best pre-war tunes. One of those songs that transcend time.

  7. M.... K....

    Has anyone ever tried playing this the way he does? It is doable, but It's hard as.

  8. M.... E....

    Play that on 0,25 speed and it sound like the devil playing on some kind of violin

  9. S.... G....

    Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl but she doesn't have a lot to say.......

  10. D.... R....

    John Mayer looks great for a guy 127 years old 👍🏼

    D.... R....

    😂😂😂

  11. E.... Y....

    Dude this shit sounds swing I literally swing side to side like I'm in a Tom and Jerry cartoon... LONG LIVE ROBERT JOHNSON KING OF BLUES 💙💙💙💙💙🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

  12. 2.... H....

    2x for RHCP speed

  13. d.... ....

    "Writers: John Mayer"
    YouTube, you clown.

  14. U.... S....

    Só eu BR que vim pelo RHCP

    U.... S....

    Historias De Bándas.. Eu! aunque Johnson es conocido como guitarrista de Blues, este tema es 100% JAZZ. Y de las semicorcheas y sincopas del Jazz .. VIENE EL "FUNK"

    U.... S....

    Salve Johnson e RHCP !!!

  15. H.... M....

    How I wish I could get a lesson from Mr. Robert Johnson

  16. I.... T....

    https://youtu.be/o0bY1iL2S6I

  17. D.... R....

    My favorite hoodoo music
    . He ain’t tommy Johnson, the guy who made canned house blues

  18. T.... ....

    Thank the red hot chili peppers for bringing me to this video

  19. T.... ....

    Excuse me miss do you have some Lemon Heads, and some Boston Baked Beans, with those Hot Tamales for sale? I got .30 cents!

    T.... ....

    Don't forget the chic-o-stix!!

  20. E.... Y....

    Apparently he played in this style of rag and a lot of audiences were attracted to the pop country step/dance appealed to that sound more... he didn't play his blues material in front of live audience too much

  21. T.... ....

    Man o man if I was at a Jux Joint in the Mississippi Delta, and RJ walked in singing: "Hot Tamles and They're Red Hot"? I'd be Juxing uncontrollably.

  22. T.... K....

    This is a great Jazz tune.

  23. u.... p....

    Algum Br ?

  24. M.... R....

    got to love this song, so jazzy

  25. s.... ....

    lol. YouTube Content ID says this song is written by John Mayer.

  26. T.... H....

    You can hear Elvis Presley in this particular style of Robert Johnson.

  27. W.... ....

    OK I'm catching hell for this but I truly believe this,this song by Robert Johnson is the first rock N roll song.Ill even go so far to say that Robert Johnson is the founder of golden age rock N roll.Chuck Berry is the founder of Silver Age rock N roll.And Jimi Hendrix is the founder of Bronze Age rock N roll(aka simply rock music).

  28. T.... M....

    There should be way more Robert jhonson on POOPTUBE

  29. D.... R....

    This isn't Robert Johnson 😡

    D.... R....

    Yes it is my friend

    D.... R....

    Deerp..Okay,who is it then?

  30. G.... Y....

    You know, you can argue that this is about sex, but I really think this song is actually about tamales.

  31. O.... K....

    rhcp covered this song!

  32. y.... ....

    this sounds way better than the speed adjusted crap his voice sounds like it should if hes trying for a scat vocal.love how he changes his vocal ,two voices.good effort at a sort of ventriquest blues. no where near buddy boys version tho but still he had a great voice.robert jr said he could beat any of his contemporys at singing .

  33. E.... H....

    I love hot tamales.

  34. N.... ....

    Thanks rundle this is a proper banger

  35. L.... D....

    "When that boy starting playing, oh he was gone."
    Son House

    L.... D....

    Lord Defector, his name was actually son house

  36. �.... _....

    Red Hot Chili Peppers did a great job with this cover

  37. M.... E....

    Had a genetic twist that gave him the long fingers seen in the video. That and selling his soul! 😎

    M.... E....

    Marcus Eade, ain’t no way a man could be mediocre and come back playin this well without sellin his soul

    M.... E....

    He was pretty bad before his special training according to the legend.

  38. R.... P....

    Los tamales son buenos :)

  39. a.... l....

    9 idiotas que no saben nada de la armonía que producen esos bellos acordes <3

  40. K.... C....

    Whoever downvoted this video needs to be nailed to a cross..... Robert johnson is a true legend

    K.... C....

    Ya?... Ya, das ist fruchbar

  41. C.... w....

    One of my fav Robert Johnson compositions

    C.... w....

    @Chris Wilson Robert Johnson here *playing JAZZ GUITAR*

  42. M.... G....

    SoundCloud, as a platform, is FAILING if this rapper hasn't made it big by now!!! ;o

    ... I guess it's probably because he needs more ad-libs? :o

    ... Truly wishing this up & coming rapper the absolute best wishes/blessings!

    @Monte Gavin III Bless You. Here's a napkin.

  45. S.... 2....

    Le diable et moi
    On marchait côte à côte
    Près de l'autoroute
    Pour que mon esprit démoniaque
    Prenne le bus et parte au loin.

    Il y a des choses
    Qu'on n'est pas censés comprendre.
    Robert Johnson avait un talent incroyable, un don, mais qu'il souffrait d'un déséquilibre.
    On l'entend dans sa musique.
    Quelque chose ne tournait pas rond dans la vie de Robert Johnson et c'étais le cas pour jimi Hendrix, pour Kurt Cobain et tous ceux du club des 27.

    S.... 2....

    Had to "google translate" that action:
    The devil and me
    We walked side by side
    Near the highway
    For my demonic spirit
    Take the bus and leave in the distance.


    There are things
    That we are not supposed to understand.
    Robert Johnson had an incredible talent, a gift, but he was suffering from an imbalance.
    We hear him in his music.
    Something was wrong in the life of Robert Johnson and it was the case for Jim Hendrix, for Kurt Cobain and everyone in the club of 27.

  46. D.... C....

    I was just asking last night, while eating a tamale, if there were any odes to tamales.

  47. J.... S....

    Tin - Tan (mexican comedian) did this!

  56. T.... M....

    Just watched the new Netflix documentary about Robert.
    Made me appreciate his work even more.. AMAZING.

    T.... M....

    What’s the show called

    T.... M....

    @G B Remastered- Devil at the crossroads

    T.... M....

    It was a really good documentary

    T.... M....

    Appreciate that he supposedly sold his soul to the devil?

    T.... M....

    The MAIZEL absolutely he's story was amazing, but at the same time tragic. what do you think about he's story - did he, or didn't he sell his soul to play the Guitar?

  57. G.... ....

    27 club RIP
