Rodríguez?
On Spotify, he seems to be listed as Rodríguez (with an accent), not Rodriguez or Sixto Rodriguez. I also found the accent in a couple of places in the article, and in the citations to a few sources. But when I checked those sources, I found that none of them (except the one written entirely in Spanish) had the accent in their actual titles, so I removed the use of the accent for the sake of quoting the sources accurately. Do any English-language sources other than Spotify spell his name with an accent? —BarrelProof (talk) 23:33, 1 February 2020 (UTC)


 * In Spanish Rodríguez is wrtten with an accent ("tilde") 81.38.213.148 (talk) 16:27, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

“Psychedelic”
I propose that the genres of “psychedelic folk” and “psychedelic rock” be removed from Rodriguez’ genre listings. Any listener would agree that Rodriguez only recorded one song, Sugar Man, that has anything to do with the psychedelic genre. The vast majority of his material is straightforward folk/ rock, and I think it is misleading include the word “psychedelic” twice in his genre description. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:387:4:803:0:0:0:71 (talk) 00:10, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

Sixto Rodriguez Has Passed Away
As reported by the sugarman.org website on August 9, 2023. I modified the article to reflect his death with a link to the website announcement. As additional confirmation, the FOX 2 Detroit television station has a news article on its website and cites Rodriguez's daughter as a source. I expect there will be other obituaries published from authoritative sources which may be useful as citations when they appear. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Weldon Keys (talk • contribs) 11:17, 9 August 2023 (UTC)

Lawsuit between Gorma Music and Interior Music and Clarence Avant
Since much is made here and in the documentary about Rodriguez missing royalties from Sussex Records, it is probably worth noting here that Rodriguez himself was included in a lawsuit Gomba Music and Interior music for hiding his writing on tracks on the album [[Cold Fact by using the name Sixth Prince.

Although the lawsuit was dismissed, the text contains important details about the ownership of Rodriguez songs. A second and somewhat parallel case is here [https://casetext.com/case/gomba-music-inc-v-avant#p647 Gomba Music, Inc. v. Avant, 62 F. Supp. 3d 632 | Casetext Search + Citator]

 * Also adding I checked the sources reporting that the case was settled and they seem fake or sketchy at best Tinoargentino (talk) 08:09, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
