    RIP Sixto Rodriguez. Una de las historias más alucinantes e inspiradoras de la historia de la música. Un artista frustrado que renunció a sus sueños mientras en el otro lado del planeta tenía estatus de leyenda musical. Terminó siendo reivindicado y recibiendo el reconocimiento artístico que se merecía. Nunca hay que renunciar a los sueños ni a las ideas, aunque no sean comprendidas en un comienzo.

    Do not miss the movie "Searching for Sugarman" - an incredible and talented poet/singer/human being.

    If all you hear is the "quality" of the voice then you miss 99% of the talent on display. The music, the lyrics, the phrasing, the feeling. Every voice loses something over time, but true talent continues to grow and improve just like a fine wine. Rodriguez has more talent in his pinky than most so called artists today.

    Seems like a man who sings for the love of singing. What a nice story to hear that he realized that he was famous on the other side of the world. He doesn't sing for recognition, but so glad that people from afar appreciated his genius and I am sure it gave him a lot of hope and desire to continue singing. Awesome.

    @kiddkarrim4160 11 лет назад +1

    I think his body of work is even more loaded with feeling today because he saw it back then and he has watched the human condition intently ever since and in his light and lyrical arrangements, he carries hope.

    This man really has an incredible story. He is living in poverty while a record company is getting rich selling his records. I hope he can recover some of that money although I have a feeling he is not money motivated. He really seems like a quality person. In additon to his writing talent he really has a good voice. I wish him well and the best. He deserves it.

    Fantastic song & performance. Can anyone tell me what he says after "Sugar Man is descriptive, not a prescriptive song. ...????" sounds a little like "Get your hook???? ... stay of drugs..." but "Get your hook" doesn't make any sense to me. Does anyone know what he said and what it means? Just really curious. Thanks!

    • @markfoery9513
      @markfoery9513 5 лет назад

      Well l'm sure ur familiar with the clichè: "hooked on drugs", "hooked on Phonics", "hooked on Bach", "hooked on the cook", etcetera. "Get ur hook" just insinuates that if you get interested in something that is naturally yours, then you will not need an artificial hook, aka: drugs.
