SUGAR MAN - SIXTO RODRIGUEZ

[jofrey123456781]

nas brought me here from his song "your the man" lol

[SumthinEazy1DosTres]

Psychodelic :@

[Qinguana]

Sugar man was a dealer of LSD, HARD FACT lol I grew up with this music, listened to it when I was 13 years old I'm now in 40. This was a time of perfect music, not X factor commercialised garbage that's killing creativity in music, u like this? Well he and most of the artists of the day tripped their heads off to bring it to YOU,

[kumbiaking06]

NAS remade this song on EHTER

[RaminMe2]

@kumbiaking06 stillmatic* ether was a track on stillmatic

[eurorocker79]

Nice video for a classic!

[12eyesofdervinperp]

This song is superb. What an astonishing voice.

[jjmironb]

as he is singing - he is just tired, lack of friends, understanding etc...

[Selenitap]

i can't get the meaning of the song... can someone tell me?

[DasRaksorian]

@Selenitap its about him being a little dope sick maybe and then going round looking for a dealer.

[warvdm]

@Selenitap SUGARMAN is someone who sells drugs (sugar as a metaphor) "for a blue coin, won't you bring back all those colour to my dreams", "Jumpers, coke and sweet Mary Jane" .... He is depressed and asks for the "Sugarman" to come and sell him something to liven up things.

[jonyrocker64]

Well done! Awesome video to a FANTASTIC classic trippy piece of art by Rodriguez ........

[cozmoSR]

this song is a very good piece of art, the same clip you created. it gives another feeling to the song. ;-) thanks

[justplayfm]

This video was just added to a music playlist at JustPlay.fm

[Domagio]

Listening to this makes me feel like a drugged five years old blue boy who is dreaming and reminiscencing about his past lives.

[Goge7]

[buster10101000]

[mathewharrison]

AWESOME STUFF

[sucks1337]

adorable

[veemclean1]

He was legend in South Africa...the soundtrack of my youth.....

[tallyvid]

yes he was,just ginger did a not so bad version aswell.not as good though.

now that nutini dick did a cover of this song and everyone will think he wrote it an associate this song with that dick

[blubbiblubblubb]

@tallyvid

[blubbiblubblubb]

@tallyvid

yeah really, god damn that bastard. its an awful cover too, with his voice slipping up and down. he just aint feelin it.

[reboweet]

nutini's cover is excellent. Just a different take on the song. And on the single it states (SIXTO RODRIGUEZ  - COVER) next to it, so people are aware it's a cover..

[druidbane]

Saw him live last night... Absolutely incredible

[FSMNoodlyAppendage]

How this guy never made it big in the States I will never understand.

Legend.

[brutusm86]

Where can i download this for free? Limewire for some reason doesn't have it.

[OwenNein]

For free? C'mon, it's Rodriguez -- just go out and buy the CD. Unless you're downloading a FLAC copy (which, let's face it -- you're not), nothing compares to the quality of a CD :)

[cletusbigtoe]

@OwenNein -Fuck the CD......found it, limewire gotta love it..lol

[supernova1]

Fucking legend....the sound track of Swaziland for 1991-1996.

[davrob10]

wicked man

[AlexaSmoke]

nice shit

[zandosfactry]

Rhod Gilbert plays this as his theme tune on BBC Radio Wales, the best comedian ever, google rhod Gilbert for a good laugh :D

[joemonty557]

[HangLoosecaca]

[nrv74]

Les goûts et les couleurs, ça se discute pas, alors bah écoute, si t' apprécies pas, t' écoutes pas, pis surtout tu la ramènes pas ;-)

[HangLoosecaca]

[Air420]

I can't speak Chinese.

[Huneiyue]

[DOGGERCHAVIS]

Props to Primo and Nas for putting me on. This is a Dope Record!

[JoyGrenade]

I got turned onto this through the David Holmes album Come Get It I Got It. Was delighted to learn that instruments which I initially thought were overdubs courtesy of Holmes were in fact all present in the original track. What an excellent, excellent tune.

[webs840219]

great song

[Yugemos1]

why does everybody gets pissed at the beatles for songs like "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" for having drugs but nobody says anything about songs like this?

Great song though. love it! cant stop listening to it

[hiphopdontloveu]

lol because this song isn't as popular

[Yugemos1]

but its just as good. if not better

[hiphopdontloveu]

i TOTALLY agree! and its "unpopular"-ness is EVEN better.

[Yugemos1]

lol yer

[VivyKaty]

sugar man is hippy and trippy man!

[VivyKaty]

wow !!!!!!!!

[raylawal]

sorry to blow my boys spot up but nas sampled this illegally on his 'your the man' track...

wicked joint sixto!!

[kazl72]

My cd came in the post this morning.. its gone straight on to my ipod. none stop Rodriguez from now on..

[ncbloom]

[kazl72]

i heard this on the radio the other night.. WOW.. this has to be the best sound i have heard for a long time. im going out to buy the cd. cant wait to get it on my ipod. LOVE IT..

[SumDoood]

Isn't it superb!!! Where can we find it on mp3, or CD?

[trevmm]

[Donnabeatlesxoxo1220]

this song is like beasttt :D

[DirtyOMO]

got cold fact for my 16th birthday - am now 43 and this is the only album i can't get enough of. sandrevan lullabuy is my fav - anyone have it for youtube? - geez there were rumours going around way back 20 yrs ago Rodriguez had died - i heard he wanted a break from the limelight and disappeared for a while - then came to play in oz with just his guitar and had a much bigger audience than rod stewart who was touring at that time with a massive stage gig - Ah rodriguez - the stuff of legends -

[ncbloom]

rodriguez is alive and musically ressurected. he played in my town this spring.

[SucculentCarol]

fantastic visuals

you have done this song justice

and great song too

[bellcapn]

Rodriguez!! He's Chicano!! He captures that whole drug era . Reminds me of mom and dad. New Mexico in the late 70's early 80's

[endesp]

Heard he comes to Europe this June. I live in Hungary, but will be in Rome on the 3rd of June. Can't wait!!! Have been waiting for fifteen years.:-)

[wilde4200]

fuck yeah

[morgasm657]

fucking A man! cant wait! FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!

[johnnoM12jr]

wow! that hotel sign graphic -just fkn love it.

[heavym270]

love the paolo but rodriguez is much better....discovered sixto not even a week ago. Now in my top five favorite singer/songwriter, not to mention the vocals....check out the album cold fact its great later fellow psychonauts

[musicmadman69]

this song is my life as of now

[FireStormJ47]

Happy 4:20 Everyone!!!

[64g15csr]

[SEijITheRIppER]

[ernika22]

[TheLadyOutlaw]

[demobabe]

[smrfox99]

[FireStormJ47]

Nope....He's alive and quie well....

[yuvalcauly]

Awesome

[jyotishdragonfly]

lol,I have never done magic shrooms and have gotten high on weed,a couple of times.I was in lots of pain,and the THC really helped,it also helps with nausea,too. I had tried the coke,because I really wanted to know what all the hype was about.I found out soon enough!

[jsagfrCheck]

dont what makes this song so special, but it is..

love it.

i bet it IS, like someone said, the best drug song :D

[jyotishdragonfly]

i agree.odd that it sounds,i have not done drugs, but I can relate to the coming down and the getting high,from when I have tried coke once.Damn,that shit is addictive! it has been over 20 years and i still remember that high....

[jsagfrCheck]

i never tried something that good. and i wont. i dont think i'd be strong enough to stop later.. but it's perfect with weed or magic mushrooms

[christophermau1962]

I got hold of Cold Fact about 1977 in Aust.Don't remember how! Looking at the LP now. Gees this LP brings back alot of grand memories of the late 70's/Early 80's. I had a 4 bedroom house in a Nice Area(Dad never there) After a night out Mates and their girls would retreat to"My House" and consume Large quantities of Mull, Port and conduct sessions of Group Sex!! The young Ladies of the Era and I loved this Music!!Those wer the Days My FRiends!!!

[kaffirbasher1]

just thought i would let you all know there are two australian albums.

one is live backed by the jazz band crossfire,great music but the vocals are a bit rough.

the other is called after the fact,it is cold fact with street boy.

i think they are on the wea lable.

[pirus510]
