Robert Johnson was a mediocre guitarist when he disappeared in the 1930s from his plantation homeland in Mississippi, only to return one day as a master blues man and guitar player.
Legend has it that he met the Devil at the crossroads and sold his soul to play the blues, almost better than anyone else. His recording career only spanned seven months before he was killed by a jealous lover at the age of 27.
Since then, a plethora of musical artists have succumbed at the age of 27, thus joining the 27 Club and falling victim, perhaps, to the curse of Robert Johnson.
We'll play eighteen tracks from some of those artists who left us way too soon.
