We mourn the passing of Rodriguez, who delighted our Sundance ASCAP Music Cafe in 2012, when his documentary, Searching for Sugar Man, debuted and won hearts all over the world, as well as many awards.
We'll never forget the film's direcdtor, Malik Bendjelloul, introducing this performance of Rodriguez performing his classic song "Sugar Man." #Sundance #ASCAPMusicCafe #Rodriguez
