Sixto Rodriguez: 10 July 1942 to 8 August 2023
In August 1997, Stephen "Sugar" Segerman set up a website, called 'The Great Rodriguez Hunt', with the intention of finding any information about the mysterious US musician of 'Cold Fact' fame. In October the same year Brian Currin established 'Climb Up On My Music', a tribute site to the life and works of Rodriguez. A memorial site to a dead artist, or so he thought.
When Rodriguez was discovered, alive and well and living in Detroit, by Sugar and Craig Bartholomew Strydom, the search was over and those two websites were combined into one central online source for all information about Rodriguez. This remarkable story is the subject of the Oscar-winning movie 'Searching For Sugar Man'.
This website was registered as SugarMan.org in June 2002, as the dot com address was already taken by a Boston law firm.

Beautiful film about wonderful MAN! Rodriguez should be an example for all of us. Such a modest, humble, generous, sensitive, great ... human being and amazing musician! I love and admire him, his voice and his songs.
Sixto Rodriguez is an awesome musician, great poet, and gentle man. I met him in September 2012 in Los Angeles. He allowed me to take a picture of him. He was kind and he shocked my hand. He was very soft spoken. I told him he was a GREAT MAN. I was lucky to have met such LEGEND. Thank you again Mr. Rodriguez for that special moment.
