King Of Spades Music King Of Spades Music was established to administer the original compositions of Robert Johnson. The works of this seminal and legendary blues composer and musician have been an important component, indeed a watershed, in the evolution of American popular music and comprise the most influential body of work ever committed to wax by a bluesman. His compositions have been recorded by such notables as The Blues Brothers, Canned Heat, Cream, Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, Fleetwood Mac, Grateful Dead, John Hammond, Jeff Healey Band, Elmore James, B. B. King, Led Zeppelin, Robert Jr. Lockwood, Taj Mahal, Steve Miller Band, Keb' Mo', Bonnie Raitt, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Rolling Stones, Ike & Tina Turner, Cassandra Wilson, ZZ Top and many, many others. (The King of Spades Music catalog) Over the years, Robert Johnson's compositions were erroneously considered to be in the "public domain" and were widely recorded, plagiarized and performed without authorization from, or consideration for, the bluesman's rightful heirs. Primarily by means of correspondence and discussion, a number of inadvertent, erroneous or outright fraudulent claims to the rights to this material have been corrected and eliminated in recent years. Rarely has it been necessary to resort to more stringent legal procedures. All uses of Robert Johnson's compositions must be approved and licensed by Music & Media International, the new owners of King Of Spades Music.
