Rodriguez, ‘Sugar Man’ singer with an aura of mystery, dies at 81

The Detroit musician was an unwitting folk hero in South Africa. After the release of a 2012 documentary, he developed a late-career following in the U.S.

“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”
