Happy Birthday, Sixto Rodriguez! You're the only musician who spent decades quietly influencing generations without even realizing it. Who knew that your soulful tunes from Detroit's underground scene would echo all the way to South Africa and beyond? Your story proves it's never too late for a standing ovation—or an Oscar-winning documentary!Since "Searching For Sugar Man" introduced you (again) to fans worldwide in 2012, you've reminded us all of music’s timeless magic—and how cool sunglasses can look at any age. Here's wishing you another year filled with rediscovered hits, sold-out shows, and plenty more sweet surprises ahead!
