WAS A T-REX FAN BACK IN THE DAY AND HAVEN’T CHANGED; now, will be 67 in October and when I listen to Marc singing and the band playing I’m a young teenager watching Top of the Pops and waiting to see who’s No. 1 in the charts. THANK YOU MARC AND ALL THE BAND FOR SOME MAGIIC MEMORIES 🙏 R.I.P. and GOD BLESS YOU !!!🎤🎸🪘🪘🎼🎶🎵

Great to see the making of Born to boogie ..I have it on video and dvd ...so lovely for Rolan to watch and learn even more about his amazing beautiful father ..thankyou ❤

[@pauljurgen-romrig9616]

I’m feeling very nostalgic now. Enjoyed every minute of that.

[@soniatonks]

So heartwarming to see Rolan, his birthday is the same as mine and Marc’s was the same day as my partners, we have and always will love Marc. Rolan is such a beautiful Soul, so lovely to see him ❤

[@rocknrollbuff]

This is fantastic, thank you for putting on u tube 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@maralynlee5507]

I’ll watch anything about Marc Bolan and this is fantastic. I can’t believe how great the T~Rex sound was and I can’t believe they’re not more well known these days I listen to them a couple times a week still. Kudos to his son, great job!

[@susankirkland3852]

I can’t believe I have only just seen this now! I didn’t know it existed. (Don’t ask ‘where have I been’ because I don’t know the answer!!) It’s a really lovely documentary. Thank you for posting it up 🎶❤️

[@karenhollywood3523]

Hey Susan, don't feel alone there... it was only today 5.August 2023 that it rolled up our of nowhere on KZbin for a watch . Never heard anyone (not even Bari or John W) mention it !

[@Cosmictouch17]

Thank you so much for this. I loved Marc and I thank you Rolan for making this for his everlasting fans. Australia. 2023

[@Heidi_Bradshaw]

46 years ago today…..his music is still so fresh and amazing! We miss you Marc!

[@ronjeremy65]

Any video with Mr Visconti is well worth enjoying.

[@storyfivemedia]

Thanks for the comments everyone... I directed it and it was part of a multi award winning DVD release called 'Born to Boogie'... reminding people of that crazy film but more importantly we found all the original footage including two full concerts which had never been seen before. Ringo Starr called to say he had the old film footage in a garage - we not only saved that footage but we restored it and gave it to the BFI where it is now kept for future generations. Those full concerts were on the DVD along with a tonne of extra material including I think 4 documentaries (we have been fighting to get it re released online). Some of the docos have been on TV around the world but oddly not in the UK. I want to direct you all to what Gloria Jones is doing now (Marc's partner, Rolan's mum) who runs a school of Music & Film in Marc's name in Sierra Leone. She needs help - see this short I made to promote her work: facebook.com/marcbolanschool/videos/897852964957394

💜This is an extraordinarily great video & loved seeing Marc's💚 son Rolan asking about & learning so much about his incredible Dad💜

[@IngaRudka-zc7ev]

Can not explain, but i fell in love with some songs and hear t. rex so often. Even when some lyrics are not superduper, the music of some songs are epic and touch my heart deeply. That is the reason why i mean that marc bolan was a beatiful soul and tragic, that his energy is not anymore here ❤

[@clairebunt5887]

I just wish I had of been old enough to have seen Marc live I was 8 when he passed my brother had his poster on his wall he was always playing his music as well as Bowie I was lucky to see Bowie live in the 90s love Marc's music always will your a real credit to him Rolan God bless you ❤❤❤🎶🎶🎶🎶🎸🎸🎸

[@stephaniekays6517]

Love everything about my cousin Marc.. 💜

[@Michele.3142]

So wonderful to see this! I went to the celebration Bop in 2009 and it was fantastic! Have been a Bolan fan since Tyrannosaurs Rex, though I was quite young. Thanks so much for this video! Roland must have be so proud of this film. R.I.P. Marc❤❤❤ p

The Warrior His spirit came his spirit has gone But with Marc Bolan, you can still Get It On T.rex they came and hit the scene You should have heard, those girls scream With his corkscrew hair and people so fair He’d strut on the stage without worry or care He knew just how to get into your mind He’d bump and grind he was one of a kind He’d caress you with his Persian glove As he sang those words of hot Hot Love He’d Ride A White Swan over Crimson Moon Tickle your fancy with Venus Loon Gave all he got, he gave it to you Rock On, Hang Ups, and Cadilac too All knew who was, was the Main man With Rip Off, Slider, and Tanx in a can Bill Legend, Steve Currie, Mickey Finn Bumping and grinding from deep within Satin jacket trousers, glitter under the eyes I Love To Boogie with screams and cries His B sides were good, as good as the A’s Jeepster was part of the Glam Rock phase Went to New York City he was The Groover With Telegram Sam Marc was a mover To some, it came as no great surprise How this 20th Century Boy he did rise Electric Warrior L.P. was pure bliss Marc Bolan the Warrior we do miss. By Peter Newell.

[@notgivinup]

Awesome tribute, thanks for the upload! And how wonderful hearing Rolan talking about his father, so sad he never got to know him. I was in high school when Marc passed away. Can't believe how many years ago it's been. I would LOVE to see what music he'd be making if he were still with us. He was the creator of Glam IMO. RIP Marc! 🕊🌹

Great compilation of thoughts, sounds, visuals.

[@IPMusic]

What a fabulous film. Thank you for posting.

[@kellieeverts8462]

Marc Bolans son looks very comfortable person to chat with

[@soniatonks]

I adore This movie. I adore Marc ❤

[@royferguson2297]

Saw it nine times in a week, also seen it at Bops in Sweden, and I have it stored on my tv.

[@totoro9590]

My parents had bought a new record player and a variety LP's in the 60's....one of those records was T-Rex. I was around 10 yrs old but I remember listening to that album over and over again especially the song Debora as that is my name. I couldn't believe he died so young. His music will be remembered and played to the end of time. ❤❤❤

[@martinfitzgerald1605]

Love this, cheers to all especially to Rolan. ❤

[@alanrobertandrews6493]

I met Marcs son,So Gentile,Beautiful,kind,have Marcs son Rolan Bolans Autograph,Bye for now love Alan

[@MaryPinkHair]

Somehow I missed it when it happened. Then suddenly, just a few yrs ago I discovered T Rex? AND feel in love with Marc Bolan. VERY sad to find out he died at young age. It does sound though as if we haven't heard the last of his story.

What a shame Ringo & Elton didn't contribute to this wonderful film...

[@Neil-Aspinall]

When was this doco made?

[@georginaburton6682]

What year did this release

[@storyfivemedia]

can't remember exactly would have to check my records but I believe around 2005

[@CatsandJP]

Ride a White Swan reminds me of Billy Elliott movie and Get It On reminds me Top Gun Maverick plus numerous other movies his music is used in. What a treasure to leave us with. Always leave a little Marc in your heart. ❤️🎶🪽☮️ Rolan is justifiably proud of his father and so are his fans.

[@hookywookywithmalarkyman704]

If he was in a car other than a mini perhaps he would still be alive today ey !

[@chrismiller1183]

Anyone who understands and appreciates true musical artistry will know that Marc Bolan was no musical genius...he was barely a musical journeymen. What he was? A hyped, concoction of the British press and fanzine press. T.Rex's base were like 12-14 year old girls...the type who go to "shows" to scream and wet themselves with their friends. Check out the lyrics to the T.Rex "masterpieces"... paper-thin. To waste anymore words on T.Rex being some sort of musical touchstone is idiotic.

[@markreilly2469]

John peel a waste of talent and electricity

[@PAULLONDEN]

"Catweazle" .......? for lack of more interesting scenes of Marc on the road ? Bingo ....

[@lennylaa1686]

That film looked dreadful, it must have bombed.

[@PAULLONDEN]

It did reasonably well in the U.K.

[@johnbrereton5229]

@@mattgrant6910 Yet, you not only watched it, but wrote a comment too ! 👈🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@karenhollywood3523]

BTB was made for the fans.... and no one else mattered. I have seen it roughly a dozen times... and maybe still watch it once a year or so still today.

[@stevebaker8643]

So influential ,yet most people likely only know 2 or 3 of his songs
