Rodriguez is back with Sugar Man, our Pick of the Week. The folk-rock singer was considered a sure bet for stardom after his discovery in a Detroit bar in the '70s, but his first two albums tanked and he disappeared, only to find fame later in South Africa.

Now, his soulful 35-year-old song about a drug dealer leads off the soundtrack for the documentary Looking for Sugar Man (in theaters Friday), which tells his inspiring story of reclaiming his career.
