Searching for Sugar Man
May 23rd, 2013 at 7:07am
 
A new film out now 'Searching for Sugar Man' is an incredible and true story about an artist named Rodriguez.

The music in the film is haunting and unforgettable as is his voice.

He was hailed by iconic figures in the music industry as the finest recording artist of his generation...the 70's.

This is a story about a man who was incredibly successful  singer in South Africa. Over years he sold millions in South Africa as an icon there but the rest of the world didn't know who he was (and mainly still doesn't) but he disappeared off the globe without explanation.

It is difficult to describe what I can only describe as a once in a lifetime story.

You will find his songs and voice unforgettable.

Do yourself a huge favour and watch it, it is unforgettable.

The movie has gone to video release.

I'm a long-time fan, have two LPs of his.

The guy was sheer brilliance, sadly under-rated and now all but forgotten by many.

I'll definitely be checking this film out.

And to those of you who've never heard him, give him a listen. You really
don't know what you're missing.
