Robert Johnson – $500,000

Greatest Hits: Come On in My kitchen, Terraplane Blues
Robert Johnson was the kind of blues artist that would sadly only be truly appreciated posthumously. Don Law was the music producer that would unveil the majority of the 29 tracks that Johnson recorded. His music would then become widely enjoyed across the world. Tracks like Come in my Kitchen and Terraplane Blues would be his most enjoyed. Johnson had an incredibly original sound and style of playing that other greats like Bob Dylan would borrow.
