In your material poverty, you were spiritually rich. In your loneliness, you were loved. Your wisdom, depth of philosophy and exceptional humility all make you one of the most remarkable human beings. Of your many beautiful songs, this one - 'I Wonder' is my very favourite. I first heard it as a young man years ago, and it evokes a lot of nostagia in me. You were truly phenominal, Rodriguez. Rest in peace, for your life's mission was remarkably achieved.
I am so very grateful to have seen "Searching for the Sugar Man" - a very moving documentary, which prompted me to fly to Seattle to see Rodriquez live. Brilliant concert in a small venue and one of my favorite highlights in life. Sixto was lovely, gentle, grateful, humble and a very talented man. I pray that the last few years of his life allowed him to see how much he was appreciated and loved. Fortunately, I live near Detroit and visit his neighborhood frequently....which he is honored by a huge mural....long live the spirt of the Sugar Man!
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.
A beautiful soul, with the most amazing talent! His story is heartbreaking, but inspiring at the same time! Hope he gets the guy who stole his royalties!
Increíble soy mexicano y apenas acabo de conocerlo!!! Ni en USA mucho menos MEXICO sabíamos de él!!! Gracias por conservarlo ahora estoy aprendiendo sus canciones y son fabulosas!!!
I did some painting for a guy in 1993 , and the guy got arrested for something and did like a year in jail , and never paid me what he owed me. It amounted to about $ 1100 .00 . When he got out he moved to another state. But the fact that decades have gone by doesn't change the fact that he owes me the money. And the same goes for the record company that owes Rodriguez. He's making serious cabbage playing gigs now but he still should get paid his royalties .
And with the US being such a litigious society he will win. It was pretty telling in the sugar man film when the record label owner was being interviewed. He got incredibly defensive when asked about where the money was going
Because the substance of Mr. Sixto's songs was relevant when he wrote them, still relevant today and will be 1 million years from now - it speaks to the soul.
Second row center in Orlando, I swear I was the most excited person in the audience at that event. My husband had a hard time keeping me in my seat because I wanted to stand up and dance, but it wasn’t that kind of crowd. I will never ever forget it, I printed out a picture I took that night and it’s on the refrigerator still. 2024❤❤
Hes a legend, a role model for ALL.... ESPECIALLY those highly successful elites...... This MAN has more humanity than all of you put together....God bless you Rodriguez.merry Christmas brother.
a working philosopher... never seen a guitarist with such graceful gestures ... especially because he worked hard as a worker all his life! ...the voice as melodious as the gestures, a man in agreement with himself ... that it feels good!
Yes Agree!! Acceptance and Knowledge who you are. plus most of all we Love Divisity in Australia.. Look and search !MarciaHeinze! This is a Black Woman is someone who has made good with her Voice! In Australia she is so Loved!! She in Fact has been Crowned Multiple Times, for her iNFLUENCE to the Music Industry!! Putting her talent aside, Marcia has made no secrect of her upbrining. Marcia knows what it means to be, American, Black Struggle fit In!! Her Voice is Welcomed In OZ!!! Marcia Heinze is a Name Every Aussie Knows!!! Enough Said! In Australia we dont care if your Black or White. Search
Hola amigo, muchas gracias por subir este vídeo, crees que podrías subir el concierto completo de Sixto Rodríguez en esté festival? Saludos desde México.
ZYCOPOLIS TV gracias por esté material, ojalá pudieran subir el concierto completo de Sixto Rodríguez, conocer a esté músico representa algo muy importante en mi vida, estaría muy pero muy agradecido con ustedes.
Actually think it was his management and promotional team that screwed him over and he wasn't at the time so bothered ... I was employed by Decca records in the UK and a fair few albums were sent to South Africa and Australia then bootlegged. The result was he became quite famous with the USA not really being aware of the movement... cheers ... if you haven't already please watch the movie searching for sugar man ... very interesting
Бесподобно. Как мне нравится Сиксто Родригес! 12 лет назад посмотрел фильм о нём. (И мне показалось, что эту песню про "Сахарного Человека" я уже слышал на волнах радио, я очень любил радио с детства, с 1968 года, даже раньше...)
Aunque no sé inglés sus rolas me parecen muy buenas! Lo más notable es que después de tantos años de inactividad y sin poder ver bien, el hombre pueda tocar y cantar
I had both his Albums Remastered into a compilation as the recording of Sixtos Coming From Reality Album was so poorly recorded.Lost 40 seconds of the last track.Which was a not a great loss for such a great listen.Not one of the 20 plus tracks was average.All of it was,like the man, absolute platinum quality.
His joke at the beginning was funny, but the audience didn't understand because in French the character is not called Goofy, but Dingo. An amazing artist anyway!
A Clip from the 2012 Documentary ‘Searching for Sugar Man’ has a hidden humorous side: My wife answered the phone at one-o’clock in the morning because it was on her side of the bed. Exhibiting a look of awe while pointing at the head-set, she mimes to me “It’s H-I-M!” I dash to the study phone and pick up the Caller saying, “Hello, is that Sugar?”

Beautifully said. Amen to that!
I concur ... he was certainly a lovely talented soul ... cheers
One of the best and most heartbreaking bios I have ever seen South Africa recognized his greatness long before everyone else !
RIP Sixto. You were one of a kind.
Gracias Sudáfrica por mantenerlo vivo 👌

Nice ... I was aware of him in in the early '70's whilst working at Decca records and shipping loads of albums to SA and Australia.... cheers
What a legend. Love as always from South Africa 🇿🇦
Oui 😊
Absulutely! Forty years ago, I was one of the young people in South Africa simply loving his music... still do 🇿🇦
I love him
Thank you South Africa for re-introducing this wonderful human being to the world for a second time in his life.
God Speed Sixto , thank you for bringing peace and I understanding to earth , and I’m one of those your songs inspire in this life .

We were passing his albums around growing up in the 90's in S.A. I wonder was the first song I learned how to play on bass.
Many of us can't imagine these years without Sixto and his music and now he's gone but he'll always be with us. Rest peacefully Sixto.
A beautiful soul, with the most amazing talent! His story is heartbreaking, but inspiring at the same time! Hope he gets the guy who stole his royalties!
Saw him on stage in Sydney in the 1980s. Just the man and his guitar. Brilliant.
He has an original way of playing guitar, and is a Road (RHODE) scholar of life. I bow in respect.
He was always popular in North Queensland Australia through the 70s and 80s. Lots of us kids had Cold Fact and he got heaps of airplay on local radio.
I'm a Queenslander listened to Rodriguez all my life. 55 now. He's a legend. Love his work and humanity.
Another Queenslander here, I will always remember the first time I heard him on the radio......still can't get enough of him!💞
65 now cold fact was a stapel here in Oz...good blast from the past ...legend 😊
Increíble soy mexicano y apenas acabo de conocerlo!!! Ni en USA mucho menos MEXICO sabíamos de él!!! Gracias por conservarlo ahora estoy aprendiendo sus canciones y son fabulosas!!!
I often wonder how some great people can be so way down to earth.
These songs are my daily dose of getting high.
I Wonder... too
The story about Sugarman is unbelievable, and he is as cool as it gets.
I did some painting for a guy in 1993 , and the guy got arrested for something and did like a year in jail , and never paid me what he owed me. It amounted to about $ 1100 .00 . When he got out he moved to another state. But the fact that decades have gone by doesn't change the fact that he owes me the money. And the same goes for the record company that owes Rodriguez.

@@simonoregan4744 some people are just like that, they don't have it in them to demand what they're worth.
One of the greats. The story of his relationship with South Africa is the stuff of legend.
WHY DO I ALWAYS GET GOOSEBUMPS WITH THIS GUY'S SINGING.. BEAUTIFUL GOES TO MY SOUL
Because the substance of Mr. Sixto's songs was relevant when he wrote them, still relevant today and will be 1 million years from now - it speaks to the soul.
Cos he's so darn talented and sexy.
You are the best! Can’t believe I didn’t hear of you until I was 60! Wow! Gracias Senior!🙏
I'm 53 , and only heard of him about a month ago . Keep wondering how i gone through life not hearing of him
In South Africa everyone knew his music ❤
Love this man. Watched the doco and he is by far my fav singer and person ♥️

Absolutely, but he could’ve done without that opening joke
@@andrewvoros4037 where is Mickey at these days chap? Care to share? This was 7 years ago Karen…

Bass line created on the original recording by Bob Babbitt, the legendary Motown Funk Brother.

DESCANSA EN PAZ GRAN SUGAR MAN....GRACIAS POR TU MUSICA
Unbeleivable story.
Бесподобно. Как мне нравится Сиксто Родригес!
12 лет назад посмотрел фильм о нём. (И мне показалось, что эту песню про "Сахарного Человека" я уже слышал на волнах радио, я очень любил радио с детства, с 1968 года, даже раньше...)
He has just passed on... August 8, 2023....®®®
yah i just heard, never heard of him ever, nnow i am so intrigued to know more.
ein Vergessener, Verratener... aber die Geschichte hat ihm Recht gegeben. Strong poetry!

Yes it is 👍
🇲🇽 Sexto Rodríguez 🇲🇽 Viva México
Rodriguez 영화보고 이 노래들이 너무 좋게 느껴졌어요.
Aunque no sé inglés sus rolas me parecen muy buenas! Lo más notable es que después de tantos años de inactividad y sin poder ver bien, el hombre pueda tocar y cantar
I had both his Albums Remastered into a compilation as the recording of Sixtos Coming From Reality Album was so poorly recorded.Lost 40 seconds of the last track.Which was a not a great loss for such a great listen.Not one of the 20 plus tracks was average.All of it was,like the man, absolute platinum quality.
ooomg what a coincidence, i've just clicked on the video and as the video started i was like, "oh , i know this place", it's in my town! crazy :S
You are being watched.
Se merece una buena película sobre su vida y la verdad por que no triunfo
((😢))
Descansa en Paz, Maestro.
((LIMA - PERÚ))
I had his album in the eighties in NZ although no one had heard of him.
Love listening now as I did then 🙏
this is a really american songwriter, others come later
Bravo!!!!
👍
I wish the intro was longer like his 1st performance in 1998
Thank you ❤
Il est bien meilleur que ceux qui réussissent facilement avec des rengaines médiocres!!!!
Bravo .... ses chansons sont très belles. Merci.
Simply spectacular...great , universal , orgullo Mexicano....
Really great guy
I have no words!
Beautiful !!!!!.Tanks Sixto.
I watched his documentary 4 years ago and that's how I discovered this song.
His joke at the beginning was funny, but the audience didn't understand because in French the character is not called Goofy, but Dingo. An amazing artist anyway!
Love this guys music came on it by change and watched the movie so awesome love him
Stereo sounds great
Un gran músico compositor y ser humano
Fab artist-great post
Beautiful songs....viva Mexico....
Six to is a super cool cat, and that's a cold fact.
viva Sixto!!!!!!
de lo bueno poco, decia mi abuela,
los milagros existen;
gracias SR
Un ícono de la música en Sudáfrica...
Siento que algunos de los músicos que acompañaron este concierto, no entendieron a fondo a Sixto.

no repost man.

Fucking good. Keep rocking
C quand même le hyppi le plus stylé du monde

😳 this song is ......💟💟💟
Wow!Cudownie!
