"Cross Road Blues" is a song written by the American
blues artist
Robert Johnson. He sang it as a solo piece with
acoustic slide guitar in the
Delta blues style. The lyrics describe Johnson's grief at being unable to catch a ride at an intersection before the sun sets. Some have attached a supernatural significance to the song. One of Johnson's two recorded performances was released in 1937 as a single, heard mainly in the
Mississippi Delta area. The second, which reached a wider audience, was included on King of the Delta Blues Singers, a compilation album of some of Johnson's songs released in 1961 during the
American folk music revival.
Elmore James recorded a version of the song in 1954, and another in either 1960 or 1961. In the late 1960s, guitarist
Eric Clapton and his bandmates in the British rock group
Cream(pictured) popularized it as "Crossroads". Their
blues rock interpretation became one of their best-known songs, inspiring many cover versions. (Full article...)

False positive. Edits are
not vandalism. Would be nice if they used edit summaries, but this is certainly not what the filter is looking for.

I don't think this is a violation of policy. The promotional userpage certainly was, but if this is someone's stage name (as opposed to the name of an organisation) there's nothing in policy to prohibit them from posting here under a matching username. Obviously, they would have to adhere to the COI guidance...
