What a man …listened to him constantly in the early seventies. When he came to South Africa we went to see him and my young adult son came with us. He was told that he was signing autographs backstage but by the time he got there security was no longer letting anyone in When Rodrigues realised he was being turned away he called him in and had the grace and generosity to have a chat with him. Talented, gritty, humble.

Rodriguez album Cold Fact went platinum in Australia in the early 70's. Everyone had a copy of his albums. He toured here back then. He did two concert tours across the country in 1979 and 1981 and later returned to Australia in 2014 then again in 2016 for a run of 14 shows . Yes, we knew who he was ..He was very popular from the very beginning.God rest his soul. 🌷

He never really made it until two South Africans eventually managed to find a internett site run by his daughter and arranged for him to do some concerts in SA. Then the movie Searching for Sugarman (named after his biggerst hit) came out and that grabbed the worlds attention. Simultainously with SA his albuums did well in Australia.

@jorgedacunha2676 10 месяцев назад

I think you guys are being disingenuous and missing the point. The documentary was about South Africa's relationship with Rodriguez. The fact that for almost 30 years, due to isolation, a singer that we thought was as big as Elvis everywhere in the world, was practically unknown. It's about the mystery of why we knew nothing about him. About how we tracked him down and brought him here to soldout concerts. Had the same thing happened 20 years earlier in Australia? Yes it had. But that's not the story being told. So no, I don't think the documentary was being misleading. It was simply telling a story that the Australia chapter had nothing to do with. Just another thing, after the 1981 Australia tour, Rodriguez went back into obscurity, still not knowing he was a superstar in South Africa. It took almost another 20 years for that chapter to be finalised. So, yes, I'm glad you Australians knew and loved him as well, but don't hate a documentary that left out your story because... it wasn't telling your story.

@stanmeyer9770 10 месяцев назад

I was a teenager in Johannesburg South Africa when in 1972 his album " cold fact" became all the rave amongst our generation. It was hard to understand why we suddenly switched off from Led Zeplin, Deep purple, black Sabbath, Bob Dylan and others for that brief moment in our musical history. I think it was partly due to the fact that Woodstock and ban the bomb movement had just run it's course and his music particularly his lyrics struck a chord with us all. I don't believe as you reported here that Apartheid had anything to do with it at all. Finally just to show how big a influence he had on our country, last night our regular Saturday night " The magic bus" 60's 70's rock radio programs played a 30min tribute to Rodriguez covering back to back his most endearing songs.

His passing should be regarded, and his music should be remembered. Thank you for this segment. I saw the movie in the theater and it is an amazing story. I wonder if his family ever pursued getting him the royalties that he never received from all of his international sales.

@williestyle35 10 месяцев назад

There might not be much in the way of "royalties" (from his early records) to collect. Artists sometimes can have a difficult time collecting payments from record labels and music publishers in the best of circumstances - obscure artists more so. Often because their recordings get copied or "pirated' outside of normal record distribution. Sixto probably received a little money when his two records were reissued in recent years. This video does make it sound like he had previously received some royalties that he would give away to family and friends.

@dennisminer7952 10 месяцев назад

Just a theory, but the "don't count" might be traced to the unique and adorable way your people pronounce M&Ms(the candy). So intriguing, maybe Sixto could have written a song after learning your accent. SMARTIES CHOCOLATE CANDY (a superior version of M&Ms) is not legally allowed to be sold in the USA. The media is aware of this bias and does nothing to encourage another fantastic hard-shelled chocolate candy reaching our shores. So, NZ and the Aussie's need to keep saying "M&Ms" as often as they get the chance, until the Powers-That-Be back in the States accept your accented version of this sweet brand. Only then will the SMARTIES WALL come tumbling down. Chocolate Tounge-in-cheek tribute but Rodriguez wasn't called SUGARMAN for nothin!

Loved Sixto since the first day the needle touched the vinyl still listen to it today. Both albums in my collection. Not sure how they connect his work with ending apartheid though. Anti establishment yes for sure as the government banned his album and that made everyone rebel by playing his music. Everyone I knew at that stage got their hands on an album. Banned but it was everywhere. I suppose some see what they want to see. I see a brilliant artist and a poet with soothing sounds.
