Sixto Rodriguez: 10 July 1942 to 8 August 2023

In August 1997, Stephen "Sugar" Segerman set up a website, called 'The Great Rodriguez Hunt', with the intention of finding any information about the mysterious US musician of 'Cold Fact' fame. In October the same year Brian Currin established 'Climb Up On My Music', a tribute site to the life and works of Rodriguez. A memorial site to a dead artist, or so he thought.

When Rodriguez was discovered, alive and well and living in Detroit, by Sugar and Craig Bartholomew Strydom, the search was over and those two websites were combined into one central online source for all information about Rodriguez. This remarkable story is the subject of the Oscar-winning movie 'Searching For Sugar Man'.

This website was registered as SugarMan.org in June 2002, as the dot com address was already taken by a Boston law firm.

Thanks to Alan Levin and Vanilla Internet Services for their hosting and great support.
