How did this poor young Mississippian come by his formidable abilities? Why, he sold his soul to the devil at the crossroads, of course. Or at least that’s what we all seem to have heard.
But several decades before Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain, or Amy Winehouse left us too soon, Robert Johnson —the man who pioneered selling one’s soul for rock and roll—died in 1938, at age 27, under mysterious and likely violent circumstances.
The Man Who Sold His Soul (French: L'homme qui vendit son âme) is a 1943 French drama film directed by Jean-Paul Paulin and starring Michèle Alfa, André Luguet and Mona Goya. The film's sets were designed by the art director Pierre Marquet. It is based on a 1918 novel by Pierre-Gilles Veber, previously adapted into a 1921 silent film.
The person making the pact sometimes tries to outwit the devil, but loses in the end (e.g., man sells his soul for eternal life because he will never die to pay his end of the bargain. Immune to the death penalty, he commits murder, but is sentenced to life in prison).
The crossroads of Highways 61 and 49 is where Robert Johnson allegedly sold his soul to the devil in return for musical genius.
