Detroit-based singer songwriter
The artist known simply as Rodriguez was born Sixto (pronounced "Seez-toe") Diaz Rodriguez in Detroit, Michigan, USA in 1942. He was the sixth child (the Sixth Prince) of immigrant Mexican parents. He recorded the classic album Cold Fact in Detroit in 1969, but it sank without a trace. His second album, Coming From Reality, was recorded in London in 1970 and released in 1971 with even less success. He made a huge impact on South Africans in the 70s, however, when Cold Fact was released in South Africa in 1971 and again in 1974. He toured Australia in 1979 and also in 1981. Nothing more was heard from him, and nobody seemed to know where he was, or if he was even still alive. His appeal continued and Cold Fact sold steadily through the years. He was "found" again in 1997 thanks to the internet and the perserverance of some die-hard fans, namely Craig Bartholomew and Stephen "Sugar" Segerman.

In most of the world Rodriguez has been ignored, but in South Africa and Australia, Cold Fact is very well-known, especially the songs, I Wonder and Sugar Man.
