"Sugar Man" is a song written and recorded by Sixto Rodriguez in August–September 1969 and released on his debut studio album, Cold Fact, in 1970. The song was banned by the South African government in the 1970s because of drug references in the lyrics, with records scratched to prevent radio airplay.
In 1998, Rodriguez's signature song, "Sugar Man", was covered by the South African rock band Just Jinger and, later, by the Scottish singer-songwriter Paolo Nutini. In 2002, it was used by disc-jockey David Holmes to open his mix album, Come Get It I Got It, gaining Rodriguez more international airplay.
