King of the Delta Blues Singers is an album of recordings by Robert Johnson, originally released in 1961. It is considered one of the greatest and most influential blues releases ever.
The album compiles recordings that were previously available as 78s; 16 songs selected from the 29 that Johnson recorded in total. These songs were repeatedly covered throughout the decade by many artists - notably the Rolling Stones and Cream, and later Led Zeppelin.
