Robert Johnson had a very poorly documented life, from which many myths were grown. The most widely spread myth is that he sold his soul at a crossroads for his talent.
Robert Johnson is the musician famously associated with the crossroads legend, where he allegedly made a pact with the devil to gain his extraordinary guitar skills. Willie Brown, a blues musician and Johnson’s contemporary, is often mentioned in connection with Johnson’s story, but it is Johnson who is primarily known for the myth of selling his soul at the crossroads.
Yes - he got 50 Cent for it... Just kidding. No. You can not sell your soul to the devil. That's simply a literary way of saying that you give up something worthwhile in the future (e.g., your 'soul') for an immediate benefit now. It's possible the idea started with American bluesman Robert Johnson, who 'went down to the crossroads' to sell his soul to the Devil, in exchange for the skill to play the blues guitar and write songs.
