Although I knew of the Rodriguez story, because of winning the Oscar for best documentary, I only watched Searching for Sugar Man yesterday and was surprised with the link with both Dennis Coffey and Tera Shirma. I don’t remember reading anything about this in Ralph’s book.

I wasn’t aware of the story of Sussex Records and Clarence Avant. In the documentary the link with Motown was made, but this could also have been Motown as in motorcity = Detroit, instead of the label.

And too bad I didn’t watch the documentary earlier, because I visited Detroit last May and could have searched for Rodriguez myself then!
