Sugar Man - Sixto Rodriguez Cover by MonaLisa Twins
-------------
It was thanks to the 2012 movie/documentary “Searching for Sugar Man” that we were introduced to the incredible music of Sixtro Rodriguez. If you know what movie we are talking about you will know just how mind-blowing the story behind the Detroit singer/songwriter is.
It is hard to talk about it without giving some of the unexpected twists away so we recommend you all to watch the documentary without doing any research or googling first. Trust us 🙂
We’ve been hooked on his work ever since and wanted to cover some of his criminally underrated music. “Sugarman” seemed like the perfect pick. Albeit dark, we love the song and the entire record and thoroughly enjoyed giving it a two-person-only makeover. We hope you enjoy it!

This is one of those songs you can put on single repeat.
Omg the twins doing sugar man. I’m sure the great Rodriquez is in the afterlife enjoying this. What a tragedy it took so long for people to discover him. Thank you South Africa for supporting him. I hope you paid him well.
Oh my goodness! I NEVER expected this cover! I fell in love with Rodriguez’s music after watching the great ‘Searching For Sugar Man’ documentary, which I HIGHLY recommend to all who love music and art in general. To you, ladies, I say that you have, without question or doubt, done that great and painfully underrated artist justice with your cover. Amazing.
Agreed!
Fascinating documentary & great cover.

Thanks for bringing some much deserved recognition to SIXTO...Great job ladies ❤
IF YOU'RE GOING TO WATCH THE DOCU DON'T READ UP ON THE STORY FIRST, IT SPOILS THE BEST PART!
Amazing song; excellent cover! Thank you for creating this.
I had never heard of Sixto until about a year ago when a listener to my radio show requested him - I looked him up and, like most, was blown away. And now THIS? I may just have to play both this week 🙂.
Speaking of criminally underrated, none more than the MonaLisa Twins. The depth with which the Twins can cover ANY style is awe inspiring. Among all the albums in my uncle's collection that I would peruse there was a Sixto Rodriquez album. It wasn't until I saw the documentary, that I understood who he was. Great documentary. Glad to have seen this in the MLT Club.
Keep coming back to this,never heard of the original artist but this so good, the rhythm guitar playing and vocals are fantastic.!!
Glad to see you girls have discovered Rodriguez.
You two are very talented and entertaining artists. Groovy video.
Your voices compliment this song very well. Love it. Thanks
Unlike anything we've heard from you ladies so far, but what a great performance! Speaks volumes as to your versatility and amazing artistry!
These two always have the most tasteful arrangements. From the choice of instruments and vocal harmonies to their clothes and set, every choice is carefully made to honor the song, not to show off the performers.
This is so beautiful and graceful, with Mona's soothing classical Spanish guitar sounds and Lisa's amazing vocals on this, absolutely one of my favourite covers of yours. You can do any genre and can make it sound so wonderful which is so rare and special. I love the Latin feel of this song you bring across, so beautifully and expressively. Lisa's intricate bass is top notch. I love your style here that you express so beautifully both musically and in form, both so gorgeous and stunning. 👍🎶💖
Why you two aren't the world superstars is beyond me. I've found you by clicking on "Tell Me Why" Live at Cavern Club - being an old git, lifelong worshiper of The Beatles, ready to trash - and instantly became a fan. Listened a lot of things you did, both covers and originals, and you're simply... superb. Brilliant!
As always great! You are my old friend. Good luck and success in everything!
"Searching ... " is doing the rounds again after his passing. Great to see. Then there's this! Their vocals are on point. This is what a cover should be. What a wonderful celebration ... of so many beautiful things!
They could make this their own! Their cadence, timing, guitar play, and of course their vocals are consistent with the original. So good 🎉
A dark, haunting and somewhat obscure classic tune lovingly nuanced by Mona and Lisa. His story still amazes me and I re-watched the documentary again tonight. It still seems like fiction, but sadly it was not. You pour your heart into everything you do, and I think Rodriguez would feel the same way. Bravo!
They're not just singers, they are serious musicians, playing complex riffs while singing the melody in harmony is no mean feat !
And of course, they are both gorgeous.. What's not to like ? 🧡 Please Mona Lisa Twins, come to Queensland in Australia , I will be your (oldest) roadie for free and I can throw in a decent lead break if I am allowed. Love ALL your songs !
The limits of these two incredibly talented women continue to stretch beyond imagination. A beautiful and unique arrangement, deceptively simple yet so complete and elegant.
Awesome bass and harmonies. Really different.
Wow- a really surprising and interesting choice! A very successful venture into some different territory. The voices and playing rise to the material, of course. Everything about Rodriguez surprises- in a good way- so the MonaLisa Twins are the latest plot twist.
A few years ago I went to see Brian Wilson for maybe the billionth time, and found myself listening to this fascinating older performer I'd never heard of, just a few feet in front of me, a mesmerizing opener. He was a thoroughly engaging person and performer, and the music just had me at first sound. My friends were amazed I hadn't known about him, and filled me in. The documentary is an absolute must. His story is as extraordinary as his work. Thanks, ladies!
I have seen Sixto perform - this is such a great version!
You knocked that one out of the park.
Whoa- good one! Surprisingly different. I like it!
Love Mona's acoustic guitar playing, her always amazing vocal harmonies and her percussion footwork....
And Lisa's lead vocal was great... but that bass playing was WOWZA! You sounded like Paul McCartney on bass (or even Rudy...).
Tremendous performance. Loved everything about it.
Another great performance by MLT. Luv the percussive sounding drive of Mona's guitar. And Lisa's phrasing of her lead vocals. And of course their so tight harmonies. Can't wait for the next duo album. For more gems like this one, recommend joining the MonaLisa Club. Peace be.
awesome to see Sixto being recognized and played. he was truly one of the best in his day. what a great job! i know Rodrigues would absolutely approve!!
Another great Duo session from our Twins! We got to see this a while back at the MLT Club!
Thank you for breathing fresh life into the artistry of the great Rodriguez... and doing it so well!
You two are the best!
What a wonderful homage to a man who deserves every bit of it! Pristine version, ladies! 👍
This was a total surprise when they released it in the club and was totally blown away. Such fabulous artistic talent. So many other wonderful Duo Sessions in the Club and more on the way! Thank you MLT for the wonderful music and for all the smiles! 😀
MonaLisa Twins only found you tonight and I'm blown away and just go from one song to the next WOW!!!! Brilliant cover of a special song. You two are amazing in talent and pesonalities💖💖
You girls just always full of surprises..Love all you two do with your talents.❤
So glad you put this on RUclips. One of my favorites since I found it in the MLT Club and now I can add it to my MLT RUclips playlist. I called it MLT Top 40 but now it has 87 songs. Beautiful song and a little different than what we usually get from MLT. It shouldn't surprise us though because as you've shown with the Orange and WHY? albums that you love exploring different styles and genres of music. I Love the Duo Sessions format. Lisa is such a talented performer and I don't think Mona gets enough praise for her guitar skills. She is wonderful. The hat is also very groovy!!
This is an incredible performance in a string of incredible performances. When I joined the MLT Club I didn't realize there would be gems like this only available to club members. It makes me feel good that I am supporting these amazing artists.
I have no words it's so beautiful...
Wunderschön eingängige Musik. Ich werde mich nach dem Dokumentarfilm umsehen. Danke erstmal an Mona und Lisa. Love...
That's beautiful. I loved it.
Thank you very much, dear Mona and Lisa! "Searching For Sugar Man" made a deep impression on me, and after watching it, I downloaded the Sixto albums. And now you`ve played Rodriguez magical Sugar Man so well!
Gets better all the time
Thankyou so much for introducing me to the music of this amazing guy. Just watched "Searching For Sugar Man" and loved every minute of it. Sixto Rodriguez seems to be a wonderful generous person. As his family said - not materially rich, but rich in character and spirit. The world needs more people like that.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Awesome as always.
One fine cover of a song that I had never heard of. Their singing has been right on for a long time. Their guitar playing has also been good; now, it is even better.
LOVE the hat!
You guys are so darling & talented! Thank you for the music!
Hervorragend interpretiert, vielen Dank für die schöne Musik! Mit den herzlichsten Grüßen aus dem Schwabenland in Baden Württemberg.
Another wonderful job of dressing down full instrumentation to just 2 guitars….Paul..uh..eer…Lisa doing a great job on bass and Mona doing a great job on guitar.
Absolutely brilliant!
Great rendition. That film was so amazing - I think it is every songwriter's dream - that your music is being used to help with a great cause somewhere in the world.
👏👏👏👏wow 👏👏👏👏standing ovation 👏👏👏👌🥂
WOW! One of my favorite "obscure" writer/singers. So-o-o-o Good!🥰
Absolutely nailed it girls.....you captured the haunting vocals of Rodriguez beautifully.
My favorite twins with my favorite (the whole album is great) song! Lovely!
Mona and Lisa, great job! True coolness vibes on this. Bravo!
I love you gals you make an old man happy.😍😘
Awesome interpretation of a classic. Takes me back to my national service in South Africa - awful time, made bearable by music like this.
The Lovely Ladies from Liverpool knock it out of the park once again. Kudos 🎉🥂
What ??? Only 50k views ?? Someone tells RUclips there’s a bug in their counting algorithm, there’s at least one trailing zero missing !
Wow what a surprise for a Sunday Morning!
This got me screaming and tears in my eyes at the same time!
Never expected this hauntingly beautiful song sung like this.
Ladies you have done more justice to this song than one can imagine.
This screamed to have The MonaLisa Twins magic. It did not disappoint.
Thank Ladies, and a job extremely well done! 💛❤
RIP Sixto.
I appreciate you two thank you. Very good in your sound and timing. - Thomas 💐
You are both amazing... 1K kisses from Brazil.
I can tell a quality presentation by how many times I really enjoy watching/listening to it. This is a 10/10!

I believe Sixto is still alive. He would be in his eighties now. This would bring a smile to his face, I'm sure!😁
Great song! These duo sessions never disappoint. As always, you ladies produce a wonderful sound, and the simplicity of the video just adds to the magic.
