For those long drives from Pretoria down to Cape Town

A photo of a vintage South African 8-track cartridge of the album "Cold Fact" by Rodriguez. Inset photo superimposes an image of Sixto Rodriguez sitting cross-legged (wearing fedora, dark shades, and a diamond-shaped medallion) over a blue crystal ball. Colourful, extremely contrasted repeated imagery of urban settings are striped beneath him. Text on the outer yellow box reads: "STEREO 8-TRACK / STEREO 8-BANN".A photo of the same Rodriguez 8-track cartridge, only without the outer yellow box.

#Detroit based #ColdFact #Psychedelic #folksinger #SixtoRodriguez whose humble life path as a handyman was chronicled in #SearchingForSugarMan doc film passes at age 81. Recorded for #ClarenceAvant's Sussex label in 70's alongside Bill Withers, but vanished for decades until a phoenix like career resurrection in 2012 when poignant film of his obscure mysterious musical career won an Oscar.

“And you claim you got something going
Something you call unique
But I've seen your self-pity showing
As the tears rolled down your cheeks
Soon you know I'll leave you
And I'll never look behind
'Cause I was born for the purpose
That crucifies your mind”
