Sixto Rodriguez - Sugar man

[pavementisnotalolly]

reminds me of Heath Ledger

[davidferro2]

Just saw "Searching for Sugar Man," documentary by Malik Bendjelloul at Sundance in Ogden. Even includes music from the unreleased third album.

[enplay101]

a shame for EEUU, of course....(like always....)

[Message621]

awesome, I just reached fifty thousand! no way!

[smexiibish]

i hate that im getting advertisment's even when im not on Vevo.

[imag1291]

Nas made a bad thing good.

[shangrigreige]

sweet

[gregdavids]

This guy is a genius!!

[wireinexile]

Like many people are saying this guy is hugely under-appreciated. This song is beautiful from start to finish. I first heard it a long time back after living off Love's "Forever Changes" on repeat. (Yes, another superb outpouring of good music). For anybody that hasn't heard David Holmes Presents the Free Associations' cover of this - it's worth a listen. True to the original except for the female vocals and a subtle beat here and there for an extra touch.

[cyrilsnare]

nas sample, large pro killed this

[officialmcsi]

nas sampled this

[12eyesofdervinperp]

[demogirl03]

[ANN333HEI]

I agree civilwheels...I hear you...just all his songs you know by heart and it takes you waaaaaaaaaaaay back.....trying to think who else's music impacts me this way nowdays..??? 

[civilwheels]

I was 15 when i first heard cold fact, i am 47 now and it has been an album that i can never tire of,,not just the mang to or his music but the memories of hangin with friends getting faceless and slipping cold fact or the coming from reality album on the turn table and just mellow out,,yep even in todatys hectic pace listening to Rodriguez can take me back and i chill out all over again,,,Pete

[LukeAaronClark]

[TheMrYanok]

yeeew! kicking it old school

[Roxy4217]

I was seing this girl how was a little bit older than me a couple of years ago and after everytime we got it on she always played this. Combined with the drugs I was taking at the time fuck it always spun me out, it still freaks me out a bit, its like something out of a spagetti western or something but overall I do like it............. but wierd.

[Tetlama]

@Roxy4217 Sounds sorta familiar. Hey, by chance was her name Sue? I think I know her!

[IhateMEXILANA]

Nas- "your da man" great sample

[walvis2002]

Goodness me Blackwind 1370, you are right. In South Africa I grew up on his music. Only just recently discovered it again.....LOVING it!

[MerveGreen]

oh yeeahr,gorgeous !

[ivanape1]

Brings back fuzzy memories of my early twenties. went to see him live at Brisbane festival hall

[weavingspider999]

i seen him live man in south africa he was smoking a big zzzzzz and singing his shit

you rock man

[Ashdish1]

I was lucky enough to live in SA and was introduced to him in my teens and I have listened to him ever since. Awesome!!

[rentalife]

great awesome song-I found it over the DAvid Holnes remimx and the original is almost better..

[DenimCasey]

I'm seeing Rodiguez tonight at the Corner Hotel in Melbourne. Another item I can scratch from my bucket list

[BrightonBeachBabe]

I played this LP over and over back in the day - so cool to listen to it here - thanks :)

[Riversleigh1]

man where is rich folks !

[MerveLovesTheKooks]

yeah,gorgeous !

[JTR121]

heard this song on the film Candy and just loved "silver magic ships you carry; jumpers, coke, sweet Mary-Jane!"

[airturnip]

Watched him play last night. Fantastic it was too!

[JLR902]

Love love love this song!!!!!!!!!!! thanks for posting it!!!

[detroitdreaming]

I had the amazing pleasure speaking with Sixto Rodriguez this past Fourth Street fair in Detroit, Michigan as well as at a recent benefit for Donovan's Pub in Detroit as well. Rodriguez is one of the nicest people I have ever met in my life. His recently acclaimed success after 3 decades makes it clear that eventually the world will pick up on the music of great musicians like Detoit's Sixto Rodriguez....cheers!

[upnupnup]

thanks for the memories :) :) :)

[esugenosopos]

Really a shame that this guy has not been acknowledged in the States and given the status he clearly deserves. Another indictment of the music industry.

[problemchimp2]

seen him play in Dublin Ireland last week. Fucking brilliant gig.

[2pacNas22]

great song, sampled in NaS' "You're Da Man"

[Blackwind1370]

Yeah! The only place where Rodriguez really made a name for himself was in South Africa and Australia... It's actually rediculous because his music is f u c k i n' awesome! My favorite song is still Crucify Your Mind oh and Hatesteet Dialogue.

[hogey74]

@Blackwind1370 yeah so true

[albamateo91]

sounds like paolo

[Dallyman89]

this is great...

[JoLondonBurg]

yip he is a hero, in south africa , and i love him.

[Gunzupthumbzdown]

i love this track.

[txgmike]

He is a cult hero in South Africa and an almost unknown in his own!

[spudy85]

im from sa too but now live the states. but anyway i had this hip hop song by nas on the other day its called "your the the man" that sampled sugar man and my dad over heard it. he was telling me that he was huge in the south africa and no else really knew of his music!! just heard it for the first time,great song...

[Bryangoestoschool]

i have never heard of Rodriguez before and im glad i have found him!

Hes playing in june around so cal

[alfonsx43x]

beautiful!!

[scousersHater]

Damm good album!

[dugrene]

Hey 'allsfullofluv' get the whole album and listen to it. Probably not the music for all occassions, but none ever is.

Very Very good music and production considering it was recorded in 1969.

[allsfullofluv]

so,what do you think this song is about-anyone a buff who could turn me on to more of his music?

[prilfish]

what are silver mgic ships and jumpers?

[ronzonipete]

jumpers are speed, coke is cocaine, mary jane is weed, not sure what silver magic ships are though. sugar man is his drug dealer

[Jake4992002]

Haunting song, yet amazingly beautiful.
