    De nasleep van de documentaire Searching For Sugar Man is nog voelbaar. Sixto Rodriguez wordt in de coulissen gespot en er gaat meteen een gejuich op. De man zien is onderdeel worden van het bijzondere verhaal: de muziek van de politieke singer/songwriter doet begin jaren zeventig niets, Rodriguez gaat tientallen jaren werken op een bouwplaats terwijl zijn muziek zonder zijn medeweten groot wordt in Zuid-Afrika, en uiteindelijk krijgt hij de grote waardering en het applaus dat hij verdient.

    Although he'd had a stroke and gone blind, he was still playing. While we will miss the 30 years he was off the stage, we've had the last 15 years thanks to those in South Africa and New Zealand who kept the flame alive. RIP Mr. Rodriguez!

    I was surprised when I came to America 24 years ago that my husband had never heard of Rodriquez. I grew up listening to his music in South Africa and never knew that he was unknown in his own country. Very sad but he left us his incredible music Sugarman is every bit as good as Tambourine Man. Rodriquez was South Africa’s Dylan.

      I hear ya! I just watched the movie and it really touched my heart and I'm just so glad that he got the recognition eventually that he deserved so we shouldn't be sad but be happy for his life because God always gives back and it's so much more generous to good people then we can ever be to him. Yes bad things happen to good people sometimes but that's not God's fault the scriptures show that sometimes we're just in the wrong place at the wrong time or we reap what we sow.

Nothing about his tours of Australia & NZ, the sale of his LPs in Aust & NZ, the use of an Australian record label. The live LP recorded in Australia.All of that while SA seemed to believe he was dead.The money from sales that went to him instead of disappearing somewhere in SA - the dropping, unexplained, of the search for the money, the fact that SA wasn't the sole place that knew of him. Just a few things.

    I just watched the documentary and have now fallen into a Rodríguez hole, trying to discover as much as possible about this man and watch his live concerts on TH-cam. I’m as amazed as his personality and character, as much as his story. It’s incredible to see how humble and human he is, completely uncharacteristic of legendary artists. He is shy and not at all comfortable in the limelight, but yet when he starts playing and singing, you see the mind behind the man, and it’s beautiful. He expresses himself completely through his music, and I’m so glad that he was found again and able to do this at least later in life. His is both a sad and happy story, and we have become better for knowing it and being able to hear this legend play.

    So many thanks to all South Africans who loved Rodriquez, kept him alive when he was shunned in america and gave this this magnificent voice a place in history. We will always love you and your music - especially your magnificent humility - you shaped our lives in so many ways. Blessed you and may you have much love and joy in your very hard history of life xx . Never forget our love of your perfect simplicity and love of humankind. We wont.

    I grew up in the Detroit metro area in the 70s and went to a lot of live music at that time. I never heard of Rodriguez until I watched Searching for Sugarman. I am glad the movie focused on his inner grace. The way he handled life no matter whether it was fair or good or bad, was like a saint. We can all learn from his inner poise. Hope he is making great music in heaven.
