More than four dozen music historians, writers, producers and musicians are disputing the authenticity of a photograph of legendary blues guitarist Robert Johnson, pitting them against the musician’s estate over his legacy.
At issue for the dissenting scholars is a photo that the Johnson estate said it had authenticated in 2013 with the help of a forensic artist. With only two extant, confirmed photos of Johnson, the musician whose legend says he won preternatural talent in a bargain with the devil, a third would be extraordinarily valuable.
