For me, it seems like the whole delta blues/Robert Johnson influence began in the mid 60's with the likes of Clapton and the Stones adopting him as a major influence in their sound. The earliest influences of rock and roll and it's inception was with the likes of Louis Jordon.
I'm in no way denying the influence of Robert Johnson on rock and roll, but I'm pretty sure his influence was felt later on after rock and roll found it's feet.
