Robert Johnson's blues from the mid to late 1930's is directly responsible for what is known as rock music today.
He only recorded around 30 songs, and while he was not the first to play a blues type guitar, he was the first to play what is now known as the blues format. The Delta Blues explosion that followed in the 40's, eventually evolved into the birth of rock and roll in the 50's.
The rest is history.
