Sugarman.org, the official Rodriguez website, originally started as two separate websites, both established in 1997. Firstly 'The Great Rodriguez Hunt', which set out to find Rodriguez and 'Climb Up On My Music', a tribute site to the life and works of Rodriguez.
After discovering Rodriguez alive and well and living in Detroit, these two websites were combined into one central online repository for Rodriguez information and a place where fans can buy remastered versions of all the Rodriguez CDs.
