Robert Johnson and John Williams are very talented artists in their respected fields of music. The former being a blues legend and the latter a famous modern orchestra composer. Robert came from a poor family, unlike John Williams, but he, along with John, found a way to college. After college, both ventured into performing with John getting into composing music pieces for theater and Robert playing the guitar on street corners. Another interesting connection they seem to share is that both learned to play multiple instruments from a young age though it was different instruments. Of course, the instruments being different had to do with Robert having been born in the South while John the North. Along with the generation gap between the fellows of three decades. Robert was born in ’11 and John being born in ’32.
Another difference the two artists share is, John attaining his fame during his life whereas Robert got most of it after his death. I infer that the case for that is Robert being an African-American man during the Depression, which made finding music gigs hard. When he did get a contract from American Record Corporation, he produced 29 songs within two years of the contract, and he would’ve produced more if it wasn’t for his death in ’38. Robert’s songs were about his memories and more predominately the sorrow he experienced. Additionally, the music was soulful, which could be told by his singing that was melodic and soothing. On the other side, John’s style can be described as bombastic, playful, inspiring. Alternatively, he composed symphonic film scores for fast-paced, tense films such as Jaws, Indiana Jones series, and the first Jurassic Park. The dynamics of the modern orchestra composer was often drastic between notes going from soft to loud, whilst the blues musician’s dynamics often were mellow with sharp drops at the end of each lyric. Robert wrote songs about himself that had a story in it, conversely John wrote instrumental pieces that were for the films. Indeed, both artists were known for entirely different reasons.
Robert’s most known songs are “Cross Road Blues”, “Love In Vain”, “Hellhound On My Trail”, “I Believe I’ll Dust My Boom”, “Walking Blues” and “Sweet Home Chicago”. He had a heaviness of emotion in his voice as he sang the lyrics, which were seemly upbeat, but also had sad undertones for the audience to pick up on. His songs were as good live as on tape, with his music often being praised by white folk, and the audience commonly left astounded by his guitar skills. When booked live, he had to face the wall while playing, that unbeknownst to his audience, gave him an advantage. This was a technique called corner loading, thus he enhanced the sound of the guitar he was playing. Consequently, he became affiliated with having a deal with Satan because the public thought he couldn’t be that great without supernatural help. Indeed, he is envied by many musicians for his talent in the guitar and has many fans who love the depth of his work.
Both of the artists have revolutionized their genres, becoming legends in their domains. For instance, John Williams created the most iconic film scores to date. As a result, he brought symphonic film scores back into modern art. Similarly, Robert Johnson’s work influenced the entire genre of Blues and Rock & Roll. The Blues artist also influenced popular musicians after his death like the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, and the Allman Brothers.
What I enjoy from Robert is his multilayered songs is it has a seemly different meaning for each person that listens. Furthermore, I feel drawn to listen intently to his soulful voice telling of his story through trifle and pain. On the other hand, I also enjoy John Williams' work with as much enthusiasm. John, as said beforehand, has the title for creating the most recognizable theme songs, and many of those pieces have a fast tempo with drastic drops in the volume, so forth creating within each individual a sense of suspense coupled with exhilaration. The artists are, in my opinion, important figures in the music culture, within their genres.
