Cold fact-who remembers this album
Discussion
My son asked me earlier this evening if I had heard of the song "Sugar Man". This brings back amazing memories. Not sure if it will just be the oldies who remember him. Has anyone seen the documentary?
"Sixto Díaz Rodríguez is an American folk musician. His career initially proved short-lived with two albums in the early 1970s and some brief touring in Australia. Unknown to him however, his work proved extremely successful and influential in South Africa, although he was mistakenly rumoured in that country to be dead by suicide. In the 1990s, determined South African fans managed to seek out and contact him, leading to an unexpected revival of his musical career. Their story is told in the 2012 documentary, Searching for Sugar Man, which has also helped give Rodríguez a measure of fame in his native country." Wikipedia
