It's impossible to convey how much he meant to his many many many many fans. To this day, 45 years later, people still leave flowers and tributes at the place where he was killed. Love Marc forever ❤

[@Renkk17]

T-Rex - 20th Century Boy!

[@RightTurnClyde]

Such a banger

[@Sweetish_Jeff_]

They had so many great songs, but classic rock radio only plays one T. Rex song: “Get It On (Bang A Gong)”. I used to listen to a radio station in the UK many years ago which plays so many of their hit songs. That’s how I discovered so much of their music.

[@trevorhope8447]

A must.

[@robertwhite3992]

[@rmaturana]

T-Rex one of the most influential bands ever. He died too young. So many goods songs

The band's unique sound, Marc Bolan's charisma. RIP. There will never be another like T-Rex.

[@martinwebb1681]

He was one of a kind. A true legend.

[@LJ-ze6ro]

My sister loved T-Rex and marc bolan in her teens and 20s ..we played this as she left her funeral service when her four nephews lifted her coffin to her place of rest .Bless you Eve .❤

Sympathies on the loss of your sister. I lost my little sister a few years ago so I understand your pain. (((HUGS)))

[@randydebower8240]

Best album by T.Rex has got to be Electric Warrior --loaded with killer tunes!!

[@Tessmage_Tessera]

Agreed. That album also shows their transition from folkie stuff, straight over to killer hard rock.

[@robertburke5354]

Fantastic album. I still have the vinyl.

[@janetsilverhawk7204]

That was my first 8 track.

[@jamesdamiano8894]

Good album for sure but my favorite is "The Slider".

[@ReverseWingover]

Loved Electric Warrior, Monolith is the track of the album for me. Played loud in a darkened room it takes me back to times and places I barely remember..

[@Tessmage_Tessera]

20th Century Boy, Jeepster, Bang A Gong, Metal Guru, Cosmic Dancer... T-Rex were a HUGE part of the Glam Rock scene of the early 70's. T-Rex, Bowie, Slade, Gary Glitter and a few others pretty much defined that entire genre back then. "Electric Warrior" (1971) and "The Slider" (1972) are both must-have albums by this band, IMO.

[@joannecunliffe8067]

Absolutely! Another childhood song for me. All of the above + Roy Wood/Wizard + early ELO + Patti Smith. I grew up with fabulous music, I was so lucky. "20th Century Boy" was another fabulous Marc Bolan song for me.

[@lynnejamieson2063]

Not sure that Gary Glitter should be mentioned. It’d cause quite a lot of embarrassment to them if they actually did a reaction to one of his songs.

[@joannecunliffe8067]

@@lynnejamieson2063 Paul Gadd destroyed his own life and career (child abuse). Some of his songs were quite good like "Leader of the gang" but as you say, it's probably not wise or appropriate to play them now.

[@Tessmage_Tessera]

@@lynnejamieson2063 His music continues to be important, even if he is a sicko in his personal life. Joan Jett has had a few hits doing covers of Gary Glitter songs. I try to keep the music separate from everything else.

[@lynnejamieson2063]

@@Tessmage_Tessera listening to someone at your own discretion is completely your choice to make BUT mentioning a performer to some young people looking for suggestions of who to listen to on their reaction videos that are available worldwide surely has to be done with the thought that they may not know about that person’s crimes and would probably feel embarrassed if they made a video reacting to one of their songs only to be slated for doing so. So though you may see some importance in his music, for many if not most, the despicable nature of his crimes far outweigh his prowess as a performer. (I am by no means claiming that you suggested that they should react to him but it is highly plausible that they could see his name, think it sounded fun and go for it)

[@caseyaltorf2317]

Bowie's "Lady Stardust" is said to be about Marc Bolan. RIP to both genius artists.

[@JaneWalters-ni7se]

Both my loves!!

[@charlesdailly7835]

Bowies Lady Stardust is about Marc, he was Lady Stardust. His picture would be projected behind Bowie during the song in Bowies early concerts.

[@vmax4steve524]

The Prettiest Star was about Marc not Lady Stardust and Marc played guitar on Bowie's original version.

[@billmorris8358]

Today you’ve heard two of the BIGGEST British glam rock bands of the 70s in Sweet and T Rex. All your short of is Slade for the triple crown!

[@susanlane8803]

After all these years, we still miss Marc Bolan and the music he would have created, my absolute glam rock favourite, another wonderful person take to early from us. Still rocking Marc!!!

[@debbicook1584]

Marc Bolan the lead singer and David Bowie are credited with being the pioneers of Glam Rock in the really early 70's

[@jameshunter7303]

This song was not a hit in the US but a huge one in the UK. The T Rex rabbit hole is pretty deep. Try out “children of the revolution” next

[@russallert]

The high background vocals were sung by Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman (AKA Flo & Eddie), who were the frontmen for The Turtles and for the early 70s incarnation of The Mothers Of Invention.

[@shurur9643]

Didn't know that about Flo and Eddie! Thanks!

[@iangudgin6536]

20th Century Boy is my favourite T.Rex track

[@RightTurnClyde]

Love this track. Always takes me back to when I saw Bowie at the Milton Keynes Bowl. He played this over the PA after his show ended and the whole crowd filed out arm in arm and hand in hand singing along 'La la la la la la la'. Epic moment. Marc Bolan is a legend. Great songwriter, and he and David Bowie were good friends. I always appreciated that nod of respect from Dave (who I saw live 6 times). What an era that was.

[@phillipwalker6517]

I was at that show. It was a sweltering day. Not a great venue in that weather.

[@jackielouise7538]

That's a great memory. Thanks for telling us, I love it 😊

[@suemcglone2151]

Can't overestimate the impact that Marc Bolan had on music at the time. And can't help but wonder what he would have achieved if he'd been with us longer. A couple of T-Rex songs feature in the movie 'Billy Elliot' which you should *definitely* add to your movie channel if you haven't seen it (you won't regret it).Anyway, the tracks are, 'I Love to Boogie' & 'Cosmic Dancer.' Both great songs for different reasons.

[@ryanr5319]

Truthiness Sue!

[@EireannAnnie]

oh yes! please watch Billy Eliot the film

[@lynnejamieson2063]

I suggested the same on their reaction to Town Called Malice. I definitely think they’d love it once the got their ears tuned to the accents.

[@EireannAnnie]

@@lynnejamieson2063 Also think they would like The Comedy Film, The Full Monty , some good music in that film too.

One of those songs that manages to be both very simple and very good. That’s a hard feat to pull off. 👍

[@philhartley678]

Saw T-Rex in 1973, it was brilliant. Marc Bolan was a master.

[@robertburke5354]

T Rex were hot in the early 1970's (almost worldwide, except for the USA). Marc Bolan (RIP) was a genius.

[@MrPunkmoon]

Get It On was their only US major hit peaking at number 10. Strangely only after it was renamed Bang a Gong.

"Hot Love" by English glam rock band T. Rex, released as a standalone single on 12 February 1971 by record label Fly. It was the group's first number one on the UK Singles Chart, where it remained at the top for six weeks beginning on 20 March 1971.

[@Spiderific]

"Children Of The Revolution" is my favorite T.Rex song. It was also covered by the Violent Femmes. ✌️

[@dariowestern]

Also by Ke$ha. She totally slayed it - go and take a listen. 🙂

[@reden375]

Fun Fact: The high girly voices were done by Mark Volman and Howard Kaylan formerly of The Turtles.

[@jackbrooks5487]

Another great reaction. Thank you. Amber will absolutely love Children of the Revolution. Jeepster is also a favorite of mine.

[@suemcglone2151]

Yes, missed Children of the Revolution off my suggestions - but you're right, *Amber* will love it (being an honorary child of the 70s and all!).

[@10thdoctor15]

What a treat! Great to have more glam rock on the channel. Definitely listen to more T. Rex.

Tyrranothaurus Rex, later abbreviated to T Rex, didn't have a bad record. Listen to them all you won't be disappointed, also you will continue to take me back to my youth. Ride a White Swan was one of the best

[@marcdolley8013]

I was a huge fan of T Rex in my teenage years and saw them in concert. When lead singer Marc Bolan tragically died in a car accident in 1977, I changed the spelling of my first name to Marc and it's been that way ever since. Such a great talent to lose far to early. Please do I Love To Boogie.

[@paulboudreau3754]

I'm a big T-Rex fan but this is a song I don't hear too often. Of course it's still fire.

This takes me right back, I was 10 years old in 1971 and first heard it at probably the first ever Disco I went to 👍🎶🎵

[@KenRoerden]

You hit the trifecta today. Three amazing songs from 1971-1972. I haven't heard Hot Love for a long time. Me And You And A Dog Named Boo and Little Willy were always playing on the radio and our record players. Keep on listening to these great songs. More T.Rex suggestions from me are Jeepster, Mambo Sun and 20th Century Boy.

[@seancolenso6051]

I have so many favorite T-Rex songs! Ride a white swan was my childhood favorite ❤

[@Robbie3004]

This is the classic performance, from the BBC's weekly pop programme Top of the Pops, where Marc Bolan "invented" Glam Rock simply by putting some glittery make-up beneath his eyes! (The make-up was his stylist's idea). Typically, the Beeb wiped the master tapes but luckily this performance survives because it was used on German TV who were much better at maintaining an archive. The dancers are TOTP's resident dance troupe Pan's People who would usually perform when an artist was unable to appear in the studio but also did extras like this. T Rex performed Hot Love for a second time on TOTP and that also survives. Pan's People also appear again, this time not in costume, leading a group of audience members.

[@15Anime4Ever15]

RIP Marc Bolan, can only imagine what amazing things he might have produced and accomplished if he hadn't been taken from us so damn young.

Mad fact, lead singer Marc Bolans son never knew him as he died young, he only found out his dad was famous at 16yrs old when he passed a record shop and seen his dads face, then his mum confessed she'd kept it secret to protect him.

Marc Bolan was years ahead of his time and we lost him way too soon. I often wonder what he would have done and how much more he would have influenced music if not for his untimely death.

Hate to say this, but I went to see T-Rex live back in the day. The opening act was the Doobie Brothers on their first tour. The Doobies were fantastic. T-Rex came out and Bolan could barely stand up, let alone play and sing. The crowd started booing them off the stage and chanting “We want the Doobie Brothers!!” Bolan was an addict and somehow survived as long as he did.

This is reminiscent of a lot of the rock coming out at that time. Mainly becaause Marc Bolan was such a force. His vocal Style everywhere in his contemporaries like Bowie, Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, Freddy Merch, Jagger, etc.

[@jameskneubuhl9115]

Around 1971, T Rex were HUGE in England but most Americans just didn't get it. They had one big American hit with "Get It On (Bang A Gong)" but that was it for them in this country. The only big acts from the British glam rock movement to crack America were David Bowie, and to a lesser extent The Sweet and Mott The Hoople. T Rex and Slade only had cult followings in the USA.

[@Jukebox45s]

Gary Glitter had a couple of top 40 hits in the States.

[@vmax4steve524]

Bowie only cracked america when he dropped Ziggy and went blue eyed soul with Young Americans. Men in make up and womens clothing didn't go down well in fundamentalist christian america until the 80's with Motley Crue and co.
