The Mississippi state courts recognized Claude Johnson as the sole legal heir of Robert L. Johnson.
One man can now put this struggle behind him, and celebrate the musical legacy of his father.
Who inherited Robert Johnson money and estate?
Claude Johnson began the paternity case in 1992, but it took him eight long years to get the court to acknowledge him as the child’s father.
Additionally, Robert L. Johnson’s estate appeared to change hands frequently over the years, resembling a baton in a relay race.
The iconic musician’s estate has finally been probated 62 years after his passing.
Claud has started to think about a parent he never met in his later years while being surrounded by a stranger’s wealth.
Blues guitarist, singer, and songwriter Robert Johnson was. Around 1930, he left his sharecropping family because he was disgusted with the fields and hit the road, where he recorded 29 songs in an eerie voice.
Other men claimed that Johnson’s music was so excellent that his gift could not be natural: According to a tradition from the Delta, Johnson once waited for the devil to pass by at a remote crossroads. Johnson could perform any song he chose after that, but he had already given up his soul.
