I don't know how I managed to get into my fifties without hearing about this guy till a couple of months ago; especially since he has been around since I was a kid. Even more strange since he is more popular in South Africa and Australia than his own country.
I missed seeing him in concert, the last show was last night, and I'm kicking myself.
Lovely man, amazing talent and great story.
A couple of samples for those who may not know him:

Apparently he still lives in a run down shack he bought in his home town of Detroit for $50, and gives most of his money away. Searching for Sugarman is the title of an Academy award movie that was made about him.
To me he sounds a lot like Dylan, except he can sing ;-)
Anyways, after that movie was made there has been some interest in him in the States; prior to that virtually none.
