"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.[1]
