jefleppard Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 my knee-jerk reaction was to say "photoshop" because the white of the suit seemed a little too white and not period. and the guy looks like one of the wayans brothers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onewilyfool Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Yet another pic of Robert Johnson, albeit when he was younger.......By the way, that looks like Jamie Foxx standing next to RJ.....may not be that old.

But those spooky long fingers do look remarkably like RJ's in the pic we have that does have good provenance... Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
