Description
Two songs from the legendary Sixto Rodriguez on Sussex Records, who recently passed away at age 81.
From the album :”Cold Fact”.
Jesus Sixto Diaz-Rodriguez, better known as Rodriguez or Sixth Prince, was a musician from Detroit. His name was pronounced as "Seez-too". Though his career was initially met with little fanfare in the United States, he found success in South Africa, Australia (touring the country twice in his earlier career), and New Zealand. Unbeknownst to him for decades, his music was extremely successful and influential in South Africa, where he is believed to have sold more records than Elvis Presley, as well as other countries in southern Africa.
In the 1990s, determined South African fans managed to find and contact Rodriguez, which led to an unexpected revival of his musical career. This was told in the 2012 Academy Award-winning documentary film Searching for Sugar Man and helped give Rodriguez a measure of fame in his home country.
Rodriguez lived in Detroit's historic Woodbridge neighborhood. He lived a simple life, possessing no telephone, and occasionally visited bars in the Cass Corridor section of Detroit near Woodbridge and Midtown, such as the Old Miami pub, where he performed live concerts for small local crowds.
