Jerome Wrote:Sixto Rodriguez - met an Irish pal in the pub yesterday who had just seen the movie 'Searching for Sugarman'. Explained to him about just how popular this guy was back in SA. He is completely blown away by the music. So I am listening to this again this morning - takes me back to a great time.
1. everyone gets blown away by Sixto when they hear him the first time!
2. he was just as popular here as he was in SA
3. i love Rodriguez' music
4. i havent seen the doco on his life yet, but i believe it is brilliant
its a real shame that he never made it big back around 1970 so he never got the fame he deserved....until now!
