Rodriguez's Organic Rise to Rock and Roll - After 40 Years of Lost Royalties, He Finds Fans:  "Fleeting is Fame," he once said

Answering a question asked by a journalist over the lack of royalties Rodriguez has not received for over 40 years, he replied, "“Hate is too strong an emotion to waste on somebody you don’t like..."

Rodriguez writes and sings about some universal themes. Most importantly, he writes about the subjects any Detroiter or any resident of Michigan can relate to. He writes about the people who inhabit his surroundings. Just like Philip Levine's body of works, Rodriguez writes about the working-class Detroit and the motif of the heartland. Rodriguez's songs are timeless and insightful. They are about drugs, love, lust, power, human frailty, greed, the rich and poor, the cry of children, the oppressed and the oppressor. No wonder that his music made him as popular if not more popular than Elvis, Dylan, and the Beatles put together in places such as South Africa and Australia. Rodriguez is the true example of the man who is not recognized by his own people but is made hero in another culture or beyond his own borders. He is a genius. A giant. A superhero anywhere else but his own country.

Thanks to Steven Sergeman and the South African fans!

Thanks to Malik Bendjelloul for Searching for Sugar Man!

Book Review

"Sixto Diaz Rodriguez’s Philosophy: Rodriguez’s eBook Guide to Happiness" is about the man, the legend, and the genius who was not aware of his Rock and Roll fame in other parts of the world. It is about Jesus Rodriguez. Sixto Diaz Rodriguez, the folk musician from Detroit, Michigan who has been given a rebirth thanks to the efforts of two South Africans who launched a search party to find out what happened to their favorite singer and song-writer. Rodriguez, as he prefers to be called now, produced two albums, Cold Fact and Coming From Reality, respectively in 1971 and 1972. They received rave reviews, but they did not sell enough copies. Bootleggers managed to take copies to South Africa and Australia where Rodriguez has had a huge following. He did not know about his popularity on those shores. He was busy demolishing and remodeling homes in the United States to make a living. Music was not paying his bills. The release of this movie/documentary "Searching for Sugar Man" was going to change. As they say, the rest is music history!

The Acappella/Audio Version of "Le Cri de Mon Ame..." and Some of the Favorite Sunday Morning and Evening Praise and Worship Hymns

Le cri de mon âme

S'élève vers toi.

Elle te réclame,

Jésus, pour son Roi.

Ton joug est facile,

Ton fardeau léger;

Sur mon coeur docile

Règne, ô bon berger!

Trop longtemps, le monde

trompat mes désirs.

Changeants comme l'onde

Sont tous ses plaisirs.

Sa joie est frivole,

Tout est vanité;

Seule, ta parole est la vérité.

Parole éternelle,

O Chirst rédempteur,

Prends moi sous ton aile,

Habite en mon coeur.

Dans la nuit profonde,

Tiens moi par la main;

Lumière du monde,

Luis sur mon chemin

Source de l'eau vive,

Pain venu des cieux,

Que par toi je vive

Paisible et joyeux!

Quand luira l'aurore

Du jour éternel,

Que je vive encore

Pour toi, dans le ciel!


(Chant d'Esperance Hymn as compiled by Youth Pastor Marcel Dubois in "Most Favorite Sunday Morning and Evening Services Songs)
