Marc Bolan - The Road I'm On (Gloria)

[@1966maryjane]

Marc Bolan lives on in the hearts and memories of millions of fans of all ages around the world. There is something about him that was never seen before and never will be again. KALMIYH

[@Andrewwarrior]

In the recent TV documentaries his vocal style at this session where he also recorded 'Blowing In The Wind' was seriously called into question.... How could it be. This is a voice oozing soul and genius even at this early age. The 'Mrs Jones' track from Joe Meeks studio the previous year is the same.. Total passion in the voice.. There never will be anyone like Marc again... I feel so blessed to have met him a few times in 76 and 77.. God bless you Marc..

[@chantelleadlington]

Wow! What was it like meeting him? I wish I wasn't born so late so I could've met him

[@juanitamitchell3090]

the more I listen to his music the more I come to love him

[@sandraoldbury4818]

miss you marc your music helps me get through my heath problems and face my next heart operation x miss you so much x 💔👄👄👄👄💜💜

[@CosmicRuis]

So beautifull makes me tears all the time. Love Marc's voice and everything about this song.

[@bobbyowen]

marc was a true wizard and he said he could see the future,i feel sad that the words to this song came true,i miss him every day ,love bobby xx

[@Vic-j9p]

Me too lots of coincidences around his death he knew he wasn't going to see 30 he died a week before. He died on the road that didn't take him home. The car reg was fox in solid gold action he sings easy as picking foxes of a tree. A tree killed him.

[@empont704]

This makes me cry every time i listen to it :( RIP marc xxxxxx we love you xx

[@佐藤亮介-l6t]

素敵な声だなあ。

[@chuckdee121]

Wow!! Isn't that a nice bit of singing! How many ways do I love Marc Bolan!! He was such a talented fellow. I sure wish he would have had a longer life!

[@trematkir]

this is hauntingly beautiful, bought a tear to my eye

[@bobski4391]

this is Marc, he recorded this and blowin in the wind in 1964 as Toby tyler

[@elviradark6]

wow..i've never heard this song..raw, and sweet!..Bolan lives on!

[@lowersaxon]

When I heard him first time in a record store in my hometown, it was Hot Love they played, my first thought was: wow , what a voice, who’s that? He had the voice.

[@skilski2003]

He knew long before it happened. Bless you beauty. Your spirit is very alive.

[@delflord]

Wonderful video and yes it seems very prophetic, like so many other things in Marc's life. This particular song wasn't written by Marc it was written by Dion Di Mucci of 'run around sue' fame. This i think makes it even more strange that Marc would choose a song quite unpredictably to cover in his early career that appears to be so prophetic. Delf and Kaz x

[@barefootfrolick]

how strange and yet beautiful, this foreshadowing x

[@helenstrathearn4768]

To beautiful to live too young to die. Helen is

[@mikemosscounsellingsupervi2349]

Beautiful thank you for sharing.

[@FabienneFlici]

RIP Mark

[@flannellfitt]

thanks for that i have the version for dion in my files also but am not really good at figuring out strumming patterns etc

[@andyjamespalmer340]

add a little Marc to our hearts 🌹❤️❤️

[@ExaltedCompanion]

Loved this track ever since I bought the box set a few years ago, which was where I first heard it

[@bolanbabe]

wonderful...as always....tanx x x x x

[@sharonedwards6010]

This was one of his first recordings and Celebrate Summer with the line summer is heaven in '77 would be his last. Sad.

[@SequinnedInVelvet]

Such a beautiful song and great video, many tanx for posting!!!!! Have rated you 5*****s plus added to my favourites!!!!!! Rock On Sequin

[@1966maryjane]

No, Marc did not know Gloria Jones at this point in his life. Another strange coincidence...or foreshadowing...... KALMIYH

[@FabienneFlici]

❤

[@anna315]

this is fantastic

[@boogieelaine]

Love this

[@jonmorr777]

never heard this b 4, it's Awesome, what a star even then!

[@rocknrollbuff]

Like the way he lifts the tune, up, from original

[@anitavilimaite5268]

Such a terrible coincidence... He also recorded a song called "Mrs Jones" in 1965, which is much more sad.

[@daleryanshutchinson]

great song, hard to believe its our main man

[@brijones]

he was a top mod in north london lots pf photos its lke he was meant to shine and die like the star he was

[@saracrazychild]

makes me cry

[@TheDenman47]

Luv

[@cruisethedog]

1964 Marc

[@AlessiaWishes]

Because things already happened

[@Xtubelis]

Don't read too much into it. It's a cover of a Dion song which he did along with Dylan's Blowing in the Wind, in his earliest folky days.

[@brijones]

my cousin looked so much like mark in his early days

[@chantelleadlington]

Damn how unfortunate is this considering of his tragic death years later

[@佐藤亮介-l6t]

マークボランは世界一の作曲家だと思います。😮

[@fionaclayton1000]

☮❤️🎶

[@thiobunny]

In regards to EmilyUpJohn's comment on "The Road I'm On (Gloria)," I've listened to both Dion's and Bolan's versions, and I like the latter version more.

[@ZipDrumBoogie]

Life is strange

[@CarolAnnRunham]

Marc bolan kewn that he was going to die in a car accident he had already perticted it when he was with John's children i have the Dvd of Marc bolan and the 2 members of John's children are talking about Marc how when they broke down in some country they were waiting for the pick up truck and they played a game and one of the members ask marc how he was going die he replyed in a mini how strange is that

[@flannellfitt]

i want to play this anyone got tabs

[@williamfisher5749]

So phrophetic

[@izrutturzi]

How cool! This song was not a hit at all, it's a very obscure Dion tune. Marc Bolan really was a cool cat - not that we didn't know that before.

[@leeflea2874]

Marc didnt actually write this...Dion did..the freakiest thing is that Marc must of heard it and thought 'that predicts my future perfectly' and hurried to record it!

[@tonyneilands941]

classic bolan

[@anna315]

id like them too but as this is a song by dion (not that mainstream a singer), a b-side, and also marc plays it quite differently to the original, i think itll be hard to find. but im working on it!

[@XavierBaroOficial]

Here he sows his strong Dylan influence: Marc (BO-bdy-LAN)

[@tanjakivimaki5631]

woman who was driving that car was named gloria .... god bless her to o gloria jones

[@chantelleadlington]

It wasn't about gloria Jones he recorded this before he met her

[@lorenzotebano9798]

spooky

[@tanjakivimaki5631]

PLEASE DONT BLAME HER..

[@colly50]

as this was circa 64/65.......did he know Gloria then ?......or did he re record it again adding Gloria to the words ?...x

[@MareShoop]

He didn't write the words.

[@tanjakivimaki5631]

god bless gloria jones ....that was accident dont blame her...

[@chantelleadlington]

This song was years before he even met Gloria so it's not about her

[@feenix8461]

His death was a massive loss, and there were some weird coincidences, sady though there is nothing mysterious about a drink driver and no seatbelt 🙄

[@caribouchrist]

so, who's going to tell Devendra fans that he's a thief in the highest degree...I'm so tired of his acid apostles and his cheap fame.

[@conesuela1]

It was just a tragic, tragic accident guys.
