Searching For Sugarman

When I first watched this documentary, I didn't know what to expect.  The mystery surrounding the disapearance of the film's subject, the singer known as Rodriguez, lead many people to speculation of many theories.  Once an iconic performer due to bootlegs of his albums to South Africa, he was virtually unknown in the United States where he recorded and performed.  As the film progresses it's easy to get sucked in as the mystery unravels.  When it is revealed that he is alive and well we finally meet the person for who he really is..... a down-to-earth gracious and humble human being.  Rodriguez exudes the word cool and the film's climatic ending results in a sold out performance to many of the fans he never knew.
