Sixto Rodriguez, the singer-songwriter behind "Sugar Man," has died at age 81. He recorded two albums — 1970's "Cold Fact" and 1971's "Coming to Reality" — neither of which sold well in the U.S., leading to his premature retirement from music. Unbeknownst to him, his songs became anti-apartheid anthems in South Africa and he later found fame at home.
