His name was Sixto Rodriguez. He had a deal on A&M records in the early seventies. Put out 2 albums and disappeared off the face of the earth. His albums flopped, or did they? In South Africa, he is bigger than Elvis, and you are probably saying SO WHAT? You do not know the story…
This documentary needs to be seen by anyone who loves and appreciates the talent they have been blessed with in the arts. It appeals to everyone, but it teaches an amazing lesson in artistic integrity coupled with an immense amount of modesty. Rodriguez is an ICON in my book, and I never knew who the fuck he was! You owe it to yourself to watch this documentary.
