Robert Johnson

Robert Johnson was an American delta blues musician and personal friend of the Doctor's.

In 1931, the Eleventh Doctor took Alice Obiefune and, unwittingly, John Jones to see one of his live performances. The Doctor described him as "one of the most electrifying live performers in the known universe." However, when they arrived, Johnson and several other people were possessed by an alien force and attempted to attack the Doctor. The Doctor used his sonic screwdriver to reverse Johnson's trance and sent him back to the TARDIS with the sonic, promising that Alice would know what to do with it. Johnson aided Alice in her plan to cure the mob by hooking his guitar up to the TARDIS and playing what he called a "TARDIS Blues" song. After helping to save everyone, he told Jones that he was going to give him some lessons, and proceeded to perform for the group around a campfire. (COMIC: What He Wants...)
