Helen	Obit: Rodriguez (1942-2023) (9)	Obit: Rodriguez - July 1942 - Aug 2023	09 Aug 23
Rodriguez, subject of Searching for Sugar Man documentary, dies at 81 The singer died in Detroit after a short illness, according to his family. Australia was early in embracing Rodriguez, a talent chewed up by the music industry I watched the Searching for Sugar Man documentary a few years ago. I never knew that he was ripped off for his royalties and that he didn't even know how big his music was in Australia or South Africa. I heard a song a week ago on a music system when I was out somewhere. It was a rap song or similar, but it sampled the Sugar Man song. I don't know who the performer was. One of my flatmates had the Rodriguez Cold Fact record back in the '70's so I heard it a lot.
