@@ayseclark-carter8744 That's pretty much it. T.Rex only had four songs that made it on to the Billboard Top 100 here in the USA, and only one -- "Bang A Gong" -- that made it into the Top 40. ("Bang A Gong" peaked at #10. The others were "Ride A White Swan" (#76), "Hot Love" (#72), and "Telegram Sam" (#67). Oddly enough, the *album* which "Telegram Sam" came off of -- "The Slider" -- charted higher in the USA (#17) than "Electric Warrior" did (#32), but somehow that didn't translate into better chart performance for the singles off that album.)

Right. They had 4 No.1 hits in the UK in the early 70s, which was probably one of the most competitive markets anywhere ever if you look at the kinds of artists and music that was being made at that time :). "Jeepster" spent something like 5 weeks at No.2 as well. "Ride a White Swan" - No.2. This at one of the epicentres and creative peaks of musical productivity, arguably ever, certainly of the 20th and 21st centuries. Abba didn't do that much beyond "Dancing Queen" in the US either in the 70s relatively speaking, but the rest of the world bought almost all of their records by the truckfull and they scarcely failed to miss the Top 3 in any European country (or Australia) for the best part of a decade - they became the 2nd bestselling group of all time next to the Beatles worldwide. We love our US cousins but they just simply didn't get some things that were absolutely humongous elsewhere in the western world. They even shunned Queen in the 80s because of the I Want To Break Free video. T.Rex and Marc Bolan had a gigantic influence on British rock music, which really cannot be underestimated or overemphasized, trust me! They were right up there in the 70s with the likes of Queen, Elton John and Led Zep - and the stats prove it :D

@@BardOfAndromeda Even more, this band influenced David Bowie as much as anyone at the time. Bauhaus covered Telegram Sam in the eighties, just as they did Ziggy Stardust. T. Rex was at the center of glam rock when that meant something - it meant they influenced Punk, New Wave, Post-Punk and beyond. Every handsome guy who can't really play the guitar, but still gets a record deal, owes something to Marc Bolan.

From 1970 to 1973, T. Rex encountered a popularity in the UK comparable to that of the Beatles, with a run of eleven singles in the UK top ten. They scored four UK number one hits, "Hot Love", "Get It On", "Telegram Sam" and "Metal Guru". The band's 1971 album Electric Warrior received critical acclaim as a pioneering glam rock album. It reached number 1 in the UK. The 1972 follow-up, The Slider, entered the top 20 in the US. Following the release of "20th Century Boy" in 1973, which reached number three in the UK, T. Rex's appeal began to wane, though the band continued releasing one album per year. In 1977, founder, songwriter and sole constant member Bolan died in a car crash several months after the release of the group's final studio album Dandy in the Underworld, and the group disbanded. T. Rex have continued to influence a variety of subsequent artists. The band will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2020.[1] Source: Wikipedia

You're going to get a lot of comments about how many huge hits T Rex had. Including a couple that you are bound to recognise. Like Children of the Revolution and 20th Century Boy. I think there are quite a few songs of theirs you'd really love. Famous for brilliant hooks and Marc Bolan's voice. I know you do base it on them having one big hit in the US but you'd be depriving yourself if you do just leave them as one hit wonders.

He was 29 years old. David Bowie was one of his closest friends. His loss was devastating to the music industry. Thanks for this. It brings back so many happy memories. Keep safe from the UK

T.Rex was definitely a massive glam rock band in the 70's, they even had their own TV show. I saw them live at the age of 16, in Manchester, UK, way back in 1972, I can still remember walking out of the hall walking two foot above the ground. Marc Bolan said that he wouldn't make his 30th birthday, he died two weeks before. A Glam Rock legend.

I used to be friends with one of the drummers from T.Rex called Paul Fenton. He lived near my home and I'd bump in to him often and we always had great conversation. He was an incredibly interesting man with many great tales of the band. He told me once in mid conversation, that I reminded him of Marc Bolan because I had the same spirit as him. That floored me. Aside from that, T.Rex were a great band. Marc Bolan was so charismatic.

We had a fabulous time. We were heartsick when Marc Bolan died in a car accident in 1977. It was a tremendous blow to the music world. He had quite a gift. The entire concert, by the way, was terrific. Thanks for the reaction.

He's saying Get It On, Bang A Gong (the title in reverse). The "meanwhile I'm still thinking" line at the end is a reference to the Chuck Berry song Little Queenie. T-Rex may have been a one-hit wonder here in the states, but they were HUGE in the UK. The lead singer in the late great Marc Bolan. He was killed in a car accident in 1977 and the band broke up right after.

Revisiting this song recently. We never realized how huge T. Rex was but this video was funny as hell. Who needs TV when we have T Rex? I was very young but heard this song playing sometimes on the radio. It was something big kids listened to about adult subjects. That's all we knew.

T Rex was fabulous, this was back in the days of him, and the awesome David Bowie, Marc Bolan did some magical stuff, in the early 70’s. he died just 29/30. But what songs he left us.

A supergroup called Power Station performed this song and in my opinion they were great! (Robert Palmer, John Taylor and Andy Taylor from Duran Duran and Tony Thompson) Worth Checking out!

The title was reversed for some obscure reason in the states. It was the second of four number one singles for Marc in Britain, before fashions changed around him. His biggest sparring partner on the glam scene was another chancer left over from the 1960s called David Jones - who changed his name to David Bowie...

This was also covered by The Power Station that was an outside project of Duran Duran. Andy & John Taylor were in the Group as well as former Chic Drummer Tony Thompson (RIP), and Robert Palmer (RIP).

Hi again Jayvee, T Rex had lots of hits. Marc Bolan (Feld) was a Jewish guy from a place called Stamford Hill in London , he died in 1977 in a car crash , there’s a blue plack outside the house where he grew up and on his birthday fans still dress up and go to his house. His Girlfriend singer Gloria Jones was driving and was charged with drink driving (DUI) but fled back to America with his their son Rolan Bolan , he was only 29

Yessss, digging into some Glam Rock, one of my favorite genres! A big chunk of Bowie’s early career was glam. Roxy Music is another band you’d dig from this genre. And at least as far as US charts go, I have another glam One Hit Wonder request: “Make Me Smile (Come Up & See Me” by Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel! Great song! They had other hits in the UK but this was their only single that charted in the US, and only just barely. It’s been covered by over 100 artists!

Sally Phillips SO DO I!! I originally mentioned it in my comment, but I decided to delete that part because it was getting too long. Duran Duran’s cover was my first version of this song! Back then I only had a little tape deck that I held up to the radio to record from, and then later I’d use a friend’s stereo to make a mixtape of just the songs I liked. Unfortunately the Q Morning Zoo Crew was still blabbing over the beginning of the song! But I wore that tape out anyway. LOVED it! Many years passed before I was able to hear the original. Great song!

Marc Bolan was married to Gloria Jones who wrote the hit single Tainted Love, but Marc had a string of hits in the early seventies he had people like Ringo, Elton (play on his records ( Ringo made the movie "Born To Boogie" about him) and Bowie who also was a good friend - performed with Marc shortly before Marc was killed in a car crash!. Marc was a brighter star than all of them, a complete Enigma. A True Star ! Cheers great reaction : )
