Marc Bolan and T.Rex - The Soul Of My Suit / 1976 /

[@TonyWorley-m7o]

Once Marc went into decline the radio stations deserted him, I remember this was a David Hamilton record of the week on Radio one and should have been massive. He never got the acclaim he deserved in his life time but for me Marc was the best pop star this country has ever produced, a genius taken way to soon. RIP Marc

[@damienbilton5964]

What a lovely post; I agree with you 100%.

[@MrParisienWalkways]

More Bolan genius right there! What a fucking black day for the World that was, when we lost Marc. He got me through some horrendous times with his mysticism magic and music, he made life and the World seem much happier.

[@stephenvine3104]

A brilliant live version of a great song the guitarist in this version is brilliant I love it !!

Beautiful Man, beautiful music. Marc Lives in all who remember. Rock on.✌️

This is the birth of the new romantics.

[@gordongrant444]

What a great version. Love Marcs riffs in the musical interlude near the end.

[@raymondporter]

This brings it all back home. Yes Marc had recovered and made a great comeback. Top class human being who was touched by the Gods, Thanks Dreamy lady for posting this brilliant performance which has left me in awe that Marc Bolan once walked among us,

[@MrParisienWalkways]

@raymondporter very well stated, I guess you’re a top class human being yourself, seems to me.

[@JaniceMarvell-u7q]

Wow..wow..wow..you and David Dowie keep jamming from up above those pearly gates...

[@TheSpacecowboy101]

people forget/don't know he had done it all, played with some of the greatest musicians anonymously & was rated & liked by all, poet, musician, songwriter & not least entertainer as Bowie would say "luv on ya" Marc.

[@lawabidinganarchist]

+TheSpacecowboy101 Luv on ya x ;)

[@triplucid3563]

Yep Marc Bolan was a true legend in his own time and to me he still is it's a real tragedy what happened to him but at least there's still his son Rolan Bolan no joke that's his name

[@MrParisienWalkways]

A great live performance from a seasoned professional

[@neilbolton158]

Marc Bolan and T.Rex one of the best around your music still lives on thank you

[@tranquilizersofficial4827]

Utterly love this song!!!! Remember watching this on TV, so happy to see him on 'Rollin' Bolan'. Aaaaargh!

[@hyacinthlady]

Miss your voice and song. rest well, will be in my heart.

[@arniedainter3997]

Marc the star.

[@susankirkland3852]

Wonderful. What a terribly sad loss to us all.

[@MrParisienWalkways]

Yes it was truely heartbreaking, still is.

[@vordman]

I think Prince must have seen this, the comparison is irresistible.

[@Silverbirch4444]

Love this song....and just look at Marc looking so very dapper. The ultimate rockstar!

[@ieuandavies4134]

He was simply, beautiful...

[@whitebirchtarot]

I can’t believe I’ve never seen this performance before! Thank you so much for posting. KALMIYH 💖

[@FolkatKaatClove]

Really adds class and style beyond the studio cut, which I definitely like, but this live take is superb. Thank you for posting.

[@peternicholls6532]

One of my favourite Bolan songs...

[@christgordon8083]

One of my favourites .the guy was a talent.say no more.

[@mackeydirk8643]

Marc was a true rock n roll original.

[@ScrittiSparkle]

ya know i miss marc,i googled how can you miss someone you dont know,it said your feelings are valid,so you can miss someone who you never knew,i wish he was here,i wish a lot of things,if only magic happens for a dreamer,even just once

[@Lyra-bu8ni]

I feel this so strongly 😢

[@stevies5]

Fecking genius performer. Glad I lived through his era.

[@susankirkland3852]

There are so many touching comments. You all have such a way with words; it's very comforting to read. Wish I could write so well.

[@OhSoUnderground]

He looks so hot with short hair

[@clairebunt5887]

My fave Marc songs ❤️❤️🎸🎤

[@iamjonflynn]

that was the best thing ive seen in a long time

[@WorldTurningPodcast]

Something of Smiths, Prince, Bowie there. But a total original. I really wonder he would have navigated the 80s.

[@MrParisienWalkways]

Marc was the originator, he was the godfather of those people.

[@falscherbruce5522]

Songs like this show that Marc had recovered from his mid-70s slump. Pity he wasn't wearing a seatbelt that night Gloria drove him home.

[@allyk2196]

+lanalife She wasn't drunk or on drugs. Read the Police report. The officer who reported the accident ruled it just that.. an accident. Apparently the tyre had been recently changed and it wasn't put back on properly causing steering problems. More tragedy was his house being ransacked within hours of his death. Educated guess would say his brother did that.

[@gweimer]

According to an interview with Gloria Jones (and I recall this in the papers, too), it was fans who ransacked their apartment, taking anything for a souvenir. Word spread fast about Marc's death.

[@lunaluck1060]

This was what I heard as well.

[@lunaluck1060]

Ally K... Hi... I'm curious as to why you would think his brother did such an ugly thing.

[@suep3806]

@@allyk2196 Witnesses say she was driving that Mini like a bat out of hell.She went over that humpback bridge too fast and got airborne. That explains why the damage was high up the fence. Have you seen the photo's? How fast do you think you would have to be going to do that much damage to a steel 70's model Mini ? The whole chassis twisted and buckled and the seats were ripped off where they were bolted to the floor. The chassis has been pushed back almost half the length of the car on Marc's side. First reports said Marc was crushed by the front of the car being forced in to the back seat. Look for yourself.Although it turns out Marc was thrown out of the car through the buckled door which would have flung open on impact and died of the head injury when he hit his head on the bolt in the chainlink fence. In some photo's you can see some of Marc's hair dangling on the top of the door frame. The car flattened the fence and the tree behind the fence stopped it going over the bank. Gloria's brother was following them, Marc was dead on the road and Gloria was flung out and was on the bonnet moaning when they got there. It's all documented. Evidence says she's guilty and so do the police. Thats why she left the country and has never been back.She'd go to jail for it. it was early in the morning and they had been drinking all night at a party held by Rod Steward - with numerous witnesses who all said so. The facts are, even if it was Marc meeting his destiny that night - she's culpable of manslaughter, by speeding and driving while drunk and tired. Remorse, she has none. All she has is poor me. Destroyer.

[@mikeyg8002]

Much better song without the overproduction. Bolan's middle period was more about bad production than bad songs. He was finding his way without Visconti.

Once again, J. Depp looks like Marc

[@triplucid3563]

You know I've been watching the 1st - 2 seasons of Twin Peaks and think the Actor who played Leo Johnson could be Marc Bolan reborn but of course by that matter so could Johnny Depp , Jack White or Russell Brand ...but now that I think about it boy it is intriguing to think it could be Billie Joe Armstrong from Green Day! As a laugh however I will say the keyboard player could have played the cowardly lion in the wizard of oz lol

[@ThePerchance]

Bolan's lack of hippie hair makes me sad.

[@Britishguy18]

Suites him so well doesn't it? But he grew it back later on. Perhaps he cut it because of comfort while trying to lose weight? Have a groovy rest of the day!

[@egojosepio]

Me lo parece a mi o es que Bolan estaba perdiendo su identidad... me recuerda a Dylan... que necesidad?

[@ivane406]

You could argue hes the predecessor to Jack White of The White Stripes. Theyre similar.

[@nihonbunka]

So who knows what he is singing about? Let us break bread. It makes me realise that Bowie was derivative. Blue Jean. If is pretty melancholy though, and a far cry from the ebullience of Bang a Bong, Hot Love and Jeepster. He says he is not such a bad boy, but he seems to be feeling guilty. Another couple of years and he might have become a Christian.

[@suep3806]

Its another love song to his one true love and muse June - his wife.She damaged and scarred the soul of his "meat suit" She pulled his love out by the roots when she left him- and she was the one that did the leaving, she was not an enabler...She ravaged the runes of his tunes...the messages (runes are messages) of all of his tunes of love he wrote and sung for her over his career... he's telling her he knows why she left and he's not really such a bad boy...perhaps she would forgive him and come back. Marc's mother wanted June to go and collect him and pull him back into line, but she'd had enough. Marc was trying to break America and thought Gloria could be the Tina to his Ike. Gloria thought she'd hang onto him by supplying him with booze and drugs and enabling him to be an addict and by getting pregnant...because she knew June was his soul mate too. Marc would have gone back to June - if he'd lived. He knew she wasn't such a bad girl that he couldn't go back one day. June even said that in an interview after his death, that they had a connection that was never broken even after his death and thats why their divorce was never finalised.She always knew he'd be back, but he died.

[@lowersaxon]

This song is average, at most, given you’re not a hardcore Bolanist as I once was. There are many videos here on YT and most comments are fan like, friendly or respectful. But, let me tell you things were a little bit different nearly half a century ago. There were many youngsters who simply l o v e d him (!) , which he adored so much, and his music. As one guy commented here on YT to another vid: nothing beats what this man created from 1968 to 1972. I agree ( to 1973 I would say). But later on? Whatsoever, there were lots of T.Rex haters, literally, out there. They regarded him and his music as teeny bopper girl only oriented lollipop music, nearly worthless and not to be taken seriously. When someone of my age or older asked: hey , what music are you in currently? The answer was anything except T.Rex. Your reputation would have blown in the wind otherwise. He was considered on par with Sweet, Slade, D. Cassidy and Bay City Rollers. The young Intelligentsia those days heard Deep Purple, LED Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Uriah Heep etc. Bolan? A nothing. Things went worse when he thought to promote himself best was to go deeper and deeper into cross dressing and effeminacy. Not one of the young guys with a bit of IQ and s e l f r e s p e c t liked him. Get it on , ok quite good but T. Rex was a serious no go,, no way then. And at the end of the seventies from 1975/76 on most regarded him a clown now. Bowie in stark contrast becoming the world wide respected superstar. Why? Everything. The personality, the music, his voice, too many seriously disliked him. And the pool of hardcore fans melted down since 1973/74. Heavy losses. And one of the losses was me ;).
