      I agree that Rodriques should get better recognition, not only in the US but worlwide. He, like Leonard Cohen, is an urban poet whose music has influenced our lives so much. Voices of compassion, truth and humanity. Maybe Pressident Trump can help this "Son of Detroit" to be recognised for his contribution to music and the positive influence he had on so many lives.

    I saw a poster advertising Rodriguez in my small home town, called The Strand. I knew Rodriguez was dead, so I thought I was buying tickets for a tribute show. Imagine my surprise when my icon walked on stage. Imagine when he said, "Thank you South Africa for bringing me back to life." Imagine HIS surprise when he walked out in Bellville on his first concert and saw a packed Velodrome. That was properly more people there than all his bars and concerts thrown together. And then he summoned the courage to give stunning show to a massive audience.

    Fabulous Rodriguez... South Africans absolutely loved his album during the 80's. Bought the album. Covered some of his amazing songs at my gigs. What a brilliant artist. I can barely listen to the ra ra music that is out in the market these days. So many superb musical artists of great integrity like him never make it into the public arena. What a great loss. So happy 2 South African producers seized Rodrigues from total obscurity and produced a film about him. He is truely amazing. Authentic.

Hits every pore on my skin. Totally reaches deep. Am totally besotted by Sixto's music, his being, in his words, his person. "Searching for Sugarman", thankyou to all for not giving up.

    & I was SO shocked / could NOT believe that a man such as yourself would commit suicide!!! I found it incredulous!
    & I was RIGHT to not believe it .. Yey :o) :o) .. THANK YOU for being your AWESOME self! I'm so VERY happy [I've cried with joy @ times] that you've found the fame I believed you deserved way back then .. & it's even more awesome, & beautiful & touching that you've been an 'ordinary man' for all these years, & have finally been re-discovered - THANKS to the South African guys "Searching for Sugarman" I'm SO GLAD they did! & you still have the delightful humility & insight you've obviously had all along .. You STILL have IT, AND some!
    I MUCH prefer your voice in your own original songs, .. am not so keen on the Tiny Tim renditions .. just sayin' .. even though your song choices are delightful for their content :o) Your own songs have GUTS, are STRONG, & SO REAL!

    I found him today, in Brazil (!) through the movie, which I went only because my friend and I wanted to go to the movies and made a mistake and went the wrong theater!!
    Loving it all the way.
    We wait for you here in Porto Alegre, Rodriguez!
    On the same campus, Nelson Freire (!) was playing with orchestra, just after; and in another theater from the same university an ensemble made up of XXI century composers! Able to hop from one to the other, what a night!

    Classic!
    This is Searching for Sugar Man part 2.
    Unpolished, Dad jokes, reading the lyrics, forgetting a few, adoring crowd but an honest performance.
    This is a man who has not honed his act over the years but a man, shafted but the 'music biz' who still knows how to connect with the audience and finds enjoyment doing so.
    Brilliant.

    No disrespect to EC but I read Clapton's autobiography and can't help relish the contrast with this guy.

    After watching Searching For Sugarman, which absolutely amazed as a story. It was so awesome that it gave him the recognition he deserved and he had another shot at the career of following his music all the way to doing festivals such as Glastonbury.
    But was saddened to hear recent he'd passed away. Bless you Sixto and your lovely daughters who had a big part of your come back story. There was something said in the documentary that I'll always remember what one of them said of him about if he was rich, and I'll paraphrase. "Not in money, he was rich in other things!" I loved that, and they definitely loved their dad.
    Rest in peace sir xxx

    Rodriguez is brilliant... always was. I used to listen to his two albums 'Cold Fact' and 'Coming from Reality' incessantly back in the mid 70's, shortly after he recorded them and always wondered "What happened to that guy?... How did someone that brilliant not kick on?... Where did he go?... Maybe he's dead? What a story his life has been! After all he's been through... and the incredibly long time he was away from the music biz, working as a demolition guy and what not, just struggling to get by... To the world today, Rodriguez, as a live performer, along with his music... is cooler, and more relevant than Bob Dylan.
    It quite saddens me, that the music powers that were in his orbit at the time, failed to see just how important an artist this man was rightfully destined to be. And I feel, by their dropping him so quickly and coldly from their label, it completely crushed, what must have been at the time, a quite delicate and teetering artistic spirit... and sadly... as a result... denied the music listening world what... would, and should have been... a whole catalog of great music from an artist who had a rightful place at the very toppermost of the music pile.

    • @fionamcloughlinable
      @fionamcloughlinable 10 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      i totally agree...i thought i was up on music as a kid but this guy passed my by and i am sad about that as i am in awe and love what he does think as you say he's well cool a real genuine artist and a very modest sweet person, no bad feelings expressed at what was outrageous swindling by that dude from AM Sussex..

    • @DarkAngelEU
      @DarkAngelEU 10 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I don't even understand what people ever saw in Bob Dylan. His lyrics sound boring because of his annoying voice which makes his writing sound mediocre even compared to the music I grew up with. The first time someone told me Hendrix' All Over The Watchtower is actually a Dylan cover I was amazed, looked up the original and it was.. I dunno man, I can relate with the culture of the sixties and that's probably why he was such a big figure back in the day but take all that away and he's just another guy in the line.
      Rodriguez is genuine, sings about his own struggles with a heart and he feels comfortable the way he brings these stories. Dylan always kinda sounded like a rip-off to me, dunno why but he does.

    • @yellingelk

      ***** Don't be too hard on Dylan. Before you give up on him altogether... have a good listen to his album 'The Times They Are a Changin''. You've got to respect the guy, if not just for those first coulpa albums he did... they were quite brilliant. In my opinion anyway.

    • @fionamcloughlinable
      @fionamcloughlinable 9 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      @dr.weaklicksofcrashedcurse4535 9 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      ***** Maybe, Graham, but I would rather believe that there are basically two kinds of musicians: 1) those who play music as a hobby, with limited input and limited output (such as I do) and 2) those who have a full load of emotions and stories to tell and who put all of their soul into well played music as to communicate something. I think Rodriguez belongs to type 2, and as such, by default, he needs to become famous as to ensure that his output touches as many people as possible.
