One of the weirdest musical stories you will ever hear of is about Sixto Rodriguez. Born in 1962, a native of Detroit, he was expected to be a star like Bob Dylan.
Unfortunately, his two records sold very few copies and he was dropped by his record company.
So basically, he got on with life, raising a family and doing his best.s musical career behind him - or so he thought.
Unbeknownst to him, his music had found its way to South Africa where he became a major star and a significant part of the anti-apartheid movement.
