Sugar man : the life, death and resurrection of Sixto Rodriguez

Bartholomew-Strydom, Craig2015
Books, Manuscripts
In the summer of 1972, during a compulsory stint in the South African military, Stephen 'Sugar' Segerman heard the music that would forever change his life. A decade later, on yet another military base, Craig Bartholomew Strydom heard the same music. It would have a profound effect. Who was this folk singer who resonated with South Africa's youth? No one could say. All that anyone knew was his name - Rodriguez - and the fact that he had killed himself on stage after reading his own epitaph. But, after many years of searching, Strydom, with support from Segerman, found the musician not dead but alive and living in seclusion in Detroit. This is his story and the tale of what happened next.
