One of K2's favorite musicians, Sixto Rodriguez, passed away today.

CNN Reported that "Detroit musician Sixto Rodriguez, the subject of the documentary “‘Searching for Sugar Man” – which won the 2013 best documentary Academy Award – has died.

Originally a somewhat obscure figure of the 1970s Detroit folk music scene, Rodriguez had no idea that his music was incredibly popular in South Africa, where he was “as famous as the Beatles or the Rolling Stones.”

The 2012 documentary “Searching for Sugar Man,” directed by the late Malik Bendjelloul, documented the search for Rodriguez.

I know of only two records released by Rodriguez, 1970's "Cold Fact" and 1971's "Coming From Reality".  Both are wonderfully written and performed.

If anyone hasn't watched the "Searching for the Sugarman" documentary, it is well worth investing your time in.
