Marc Bolan born Mark Feld; 30 September 1947 - 16 September 1977) was an English singer, songwriter, musician, record producer, and poet. He was the lead singer of the band T. Rex and was one of the pioneers of the glam rock movement of the 1970s.
Bolan's appearance on the BBC's music show Top of the Pops in March 1971, wearing glitter and satins, is often cited as the beginning of the glam rock movement Music critic Ken Barnes called Bolan "the man who started it all". T. Rex's 1971 album Electric Warrior, with all songs written by Bolan, including the UK chart topper “Get It On”, has been described by AllMusic as “the album that essentially kick-started the UK glam rock craze.” Producer Tony Visconti, who would also work with the other major glam rock pioneer David Bowie, stated, “What I saw in Marc Bolan had nothing to do with strings, or very high standards of artistry; what I saw in him was raw talent. I saw genius. I saw a potential rock star in Marc - right from the minute, the hour I met him.”
Bolan died at the age of 29 in a car crash two weeks before his 30th birthday. In 1997, a memorial stone and bust of Bolan, Marc Bolan's Rock Shrine, was unveiled at the site where he died in Barnes, London. As a member of T. Rex, Bolan will posthumously be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2020.

I still play T.Rex songs on my mp3 player, 50 years after I bought my first T.Rex single.

For the test its sadness rest. Laura Elena iuga ivanescu Craiova Ro
I can't watch this, 1972 when i was a child The Slider turned up, i think i nicked it and when i heard that voice the music the beat then i saw Marc on TV and what a extraordinary presence he had on stage then suddenly it was over. T-Rex invented with Marc a sound which stunned the world. One hell of a guy. 52 year's later i still blow up the neighbourhood with T-Rex. Thankyou Marc.
He took a old sound and reinvented it . Rock and roll will never die It's still around today . Thanks Mark
When he came back there just seemed something not quite right, Felt sorry for June at the time.
But what Marc left us all .. is utterly priceless .. we will never ever see the likes of him ever again, a total musical genius, so glad I grew up in this same era as Marc Bolan ❤
that whole generation astrologically born under the sign of Taurus in Pluto 1937 to 1957 a group of musically talented individuals now leaving the plant who won't be be back for a long long
In England in the 70's, after the Beetles, icons rose up. Elton John, David Bowie, and Marc Bolan were noticeable superstars, filling the void. All 3 were over the top outrages glam performers. But also super talented. They carried the post World 🌍 war teenagers, born in the later 1940's, brought up with the Beetles and Rolling Stones, into the 70's. It started with these guys, who would dress up in anything to be recognised. Marc was one of them. All ego, great talent, and great music. "Get it on" Marc, 💎 God bless.
We grew up with the best music ever! And that makes today's garbage seem twice as bad. Our ears got used to great sounds, and they can't bear today's money oriented puke bucket music.
That Russell Harty Interview in 1972 gave me chills……It’s like Marc knew his time was short……5 years later it was all over.
😢 the same can be said about Lynyrd Skynyrd
Ronnie Vanzant always said that he wouldn't see 30
A plane wreck a few weeks later ...
Every young person says that. No one wants to imagine being old, they can't
@@mrsbee5056 Took the words right out of my mouth. We've all said that!
He was brilliant loved him to bits had a full length poster in my bedroom ❤ England UK
Get it on, back on the wall that is
I was 11 and was so shocked at the tragic news. His finances were managed so badly, and those responsible should be held accountable. I hope all does turn out right.
The record companies have it, same as the Bay City Rollers.
crooks!
BUMMER !
He set up his own record companies though...so..He has wasted all his money and whatever is left and put into the names of other people, have the money. He GAVE it to them as he likely didn't even read the contract, being dyslexic wouldn't help. He was a talented fool.
@@mrsbee5056 possible
BCR manager took it all, I'm pretty sure. 🤔
David Bowie paid for Roland's education and other expenses
Not surprised. David was a lovely person as well as a genius.❤
His mother did not mention that
Because some men step up.
@@natalieharrison7999Bowie had his bad moments, too. However, he eventually grew up.
Far out, how valuable would those guitars be?..(I've seen estimates, of Jimmy page, broken necked, molested Les Paul's, @ 100's of thousands of pounds)..the 58-59 Les Paul's, are the Stradivarius of guitars...(@the same number made, and survivors, apparently?)..
I’ve heard this fiasco of a story has been used in law classes. This doc was over 20 years ago, so what is missing is when Tony Visconti sued the trust and won, also opening the door for Gloria and Rolan to also get some money from them, but why they left out Bowie giving some financial help to Rolan to go to school is strange. I wish they had updated the story because it does have a happier ending to it.
Three occupations that cannot be trusted , Bankers , Accountants and Lawyer’s that is where I would be looking for the missing money.
Hey that's a bit antisemitic.
@@laurastuart3814 Why? Do you think only Jews are Bankers , Accountants and Lawyers? That sounds very entitled and elitist.
@@laurastuart3814😂😂😂😂
I get a REALLY bad feeling from the lawyer (or whatever he is) with the glasses who I just heard saying the things should remain private.
This whole situation is a microcosm of what the industry is all about!! Double dealing/ deceit/ greed/ unfairness/ theft and absolute, total and complete disregard for the individual who generated the whole core assets that in turn generate the cash flow!! It’s despicable, and I’m sure that a number of the individuals seen and/ or heard in this quick insight to the darkness and greed surrounding Marc, are recipients of his heir apparent rightful fortune!!
Just despicable, the whole thing is just appallingly despicable, but funnily enough not surprising in the least!!
I hope Rolan and Gloria finally got/ get what is theirs!! 🌟
Agree. Music business lawyer is just a long-winded way of spelling 'crook'.
I was dancing when i was twelve....... what a tune
Can't believe I only got 3 likes for my comment and one of them was from myself.......I was dancing when I was twelve....
I feel so sorry for June. Sometimes life is just plain unfair.
If there’s missing millions and it’s been stolen or diverted, it should be subject to a thorough police investigation to find out who is responsible It’s theft on a grand scale.
I think the statute of limitations expired.
What a sad ending for the man that who gave so much to modern music
His music is timeless and will live on for ever more...
Thank you for music Mark Bolan Rest In Peace...
King of Glam and Divine Poetry.....(if only he had had a proper driver take him home that night).....MISS U BB.
My 2 earliest memories of music, ride a white swan and save all your kisses for me, I’d have been 4 when he died. And my mum loved him so we listened to him for hours as toddlers.
Marc and Jonny Depp look as if they were siblings. Same eyes and mannerisms. Love them both.
I remember that crash in the tree in 1977 because it’s the same year Elvis Presley died and I broke my heart over both of them😢
How sad is that I was 16 years old. I remember it very well
Poor child, who has grown up with his mum with nothing strong lady ❤
She killed him by drunk driving and fleeing the country to avoid the police.
You can't take it with you and God sees everything anyway it's just my opinion🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤
Your opinion is truth.
Marc shines in everybody ..Cosmic Dancer we LOVE YOU!
The record company + laywers + management screwed him like alot of bands...even the beatles go screwed back in the day... no conspiracy imo
And the stones !
Ambition out weighed the talent, she was with him partying it up, probably on the wrong side of the road to
loved Mark B when i was young and his music RIPX /in life timing can be everything x
Bands, I recall them being called groups in them days.
It wasn’t a group it was only the tight assed Marc Feld Bolan, he treated the musicians in the "group" to £40.00 a week. He only loved himself and Marc Feld.
@@hangxiaohuz748The members of T.Rex weren't held prisoners by Marc Bolan. If they didn't like working with Marc they could have joined another band. I heard that David Bowie was all about David and didn't care about his band members either!
the man with the glasses knows mow than he lets on
No sh*t
No mention of HOW the accident happened or if any booze or drugs involved??... Would be very very surprised if there was none back then!!.. Not such a thing as a "designated driver" and driving home in the early hours after a party!?!?!?... So no charges brought??... Strange!
Gloria had been drinking. She was charged with driving under the influence and was due to appear in court when she skipped the country with her son to avoid the court case and charges.
@@AnthonyMonaghan Yeah, I was waiting for that little nugget to be told but no mention. Just this poor poor woman who had lost the love of her life. I think if you read the Marc Bolan page on wikipedia it does go into it in some detail. Hmmm, just looked and the bit has been removed about her skipping the country with their Son. Or at least I didn't see it when I just looked. I didn't read the entire article so I could be wrong.
Enjoyed watching although a very sad story, thanks for uploading well appreciated.
Very sad great star with a great brother ❤
Same happened to the Bay City Rollers ! Their manager got the lot
Another greedy manager
As was said about another young performer who also died young "Good career move". Think of Elvis and David Cassidy who became wrecks as they lived into middle age.
It always amazed me that Marc was straight....he was SO feminine...
He was bisexual.
Effeminate.
He was comfortable within himself. He paved the way for many others to not shy away from their true selves.
that sad for rolan ❤❤ l hope gets it all of and royalty that goes with good luck Ronald love ❤❤ love to your mum ❤❤ from fan of your dad , from down under good luck take care both of you with love ❤
So true, Roland should be entitled to the majority of everything he's farther made. Only seems right. 👍💵💵
Same here ❤
Thanks for fine documentation of the facts.
She talk so calm about the accident i would have expect some tears wow
exactly lmao like, she shows no remorse for killing someone. its fr disgusting imooo
I also noticed😳 how Gloria didn't show any sadness or anything like feeling bad about driving off the road & into the tree causing his death & Oh My God,! not even 1 word about missing him. She nstead, looked bright eyed & cheerful as she talked about his death,
But, June , was said to be devastated even though they were divorcing.
Wow!!! What vile comments
It's been fucking years' people I cried like for weeks when I lost my father and brother, but I can talk about it now very calmly because time heals all wounds.
@@scottbivins4051 exactly! Plus she owes us absolutely nothing!
His family never got his money because they said his money was in an offshore bank account
It was pretty obvious who got the cash eh ? the lawyer with the glasses and the bloke with the moustache who now handles the royalties.....You don't have to be inspector Morse to work that one out.
The music business killed everybody
Sad. But the moral of this story is "Speed kills". There was no need for her driving around that bend at such speed.
Same as John lennon his first son has never seen a penny it all went to his second wife and son money can bring out the worst in some people.
Shame man as we say on SA. My friend showed me the tree. Such a dreadful story. I loved the band and saw them. ❤
Yes oko wasn't go kind to Julian - he's so looking like his dad
Poor June got nothing the tax took all from her and marc how bad marc should pay regular he's taxs , as he would got money back as well it's a shame bloody shame ❤❤
The woman who separated him from his wife also killed him in car accident...well...
@laura69271Peoplefall in and out of love all the time. Mark had many different lovers before Gloria Jones, whilst he was still married.
If your conclusion is his son should be cut off from his birth right because of that , you may never ever get the benifit of real love.
He was my teen idol. My room walls were wallpapered with his posters. I remember staring for hours at the missing piece of his lip...and dreaming of him.
He sounds like he wasn't a nice guy with what he did to his wife, band, and others is disgusting. Good songs don't make a good person. 🇦🇺
@rexpayne7836........Yes, by all accounts he was a total shit, treated people like dirt and although he was married or in serious relationships, had numerous affairs with other women. In fact, in 1973 his then wife [June Child] left Bolam when she found out he was having an affair with his backing singer, Gloria Jones.
To be fair, Jones remained Bolam's 'partner' until his death in 1977 [they never married - even though they had a son together]. Like a lot of 'Rock Stars' he believed all the hype about himself and grew incredibly self-absorbed and arrogant.
Interestingly Gloria Jones was arguably just as talented as Bolam but probably because she was black, never gained the same levels of fame. Starting out as a Church/Gospel singer, Jones formed her own Gospel group with accomplished ex-Beatle's pianist, Billy Preston.
However, in 1964 Jones launched a solo career as a 'Soul' singer that was to culminate in near-mythical acclaim. She teamed up with legendary songwriter and producer Ed Cobb, and released her first solo single, "Heartbeat Pts 1 & 2''. The song was reasonably successful and resulted in Jones attracting a lot of interest. She embarked on several tours and did a number of TV performances.
Still in 1964 and after switching record companies to 'Uptown' [a subsidiary of Capitol/EMI] but retaining Cobb as her songwriter and producer - Jones recorded arguably one of the most significant and sought-after singles in popular music history. That record was 'Tainted Love' - and its impact was phenomenal.
Although actually released in 1965 on her new record company's 'Champion' record label, 'Tainted Love' literally exploded and cemented Gloria Jones's status as the undisputed 'Queen of Northern Soul'. I have never ever known a record that has had the same impact as 'Tainted Love'.
And I was lucky enough to hear it when it was very first played on the Northern Soul scene in 1973 by acclaimed NS DJ Richard Searling at the ill-fated Va-Va's nightclub in Bolton. It literally blew the roof off! Sadly Va-Va's was raided by the police and closed down in July 1973 after only a few months. [I was there that night!]
Searling had the only copy of 'Tainted Love' in the country at that time, so we had to wait until September of 1973 to hear it again. Now according to Gloria Jones herself, the record was brought over to England by a soldier in the US military and he 'swapped' it for some cigarettes with a British guy - who then took to a local Soul Club and got the DJ there to play it.
With respect to Ms Jones this is a complete myth. Searling [who like many of the top NS DJ's regularly went over to the US to scour little known record companies for records that he could play] found a copy and brought it back to the UK. However, Ms Jones states that she didn't really enjoy recording the song. [coming from a strict religious background, the song's 'subject matter' was very risque].
Whatever the case 'Tainted Love' again exploded on the Northern Soul scene when Richard Searling became resident DJ with Russ Winstanley at the infamous 'Wigan Casino' and got the chance to play it again. Once more, it took the roof off and its association with the Casino was permanently established.
As with many of these extremely rare NS records [an original 'general issue' copy of 'Tainted Love' on the Champion label fetches approx £300 - and a demo copy will set you back closer to £500] it was massively 'bootlegged' as NS fans clamoured to get their own copies.
Although absolutely monumental on the NS scene and one of the most beloved Northern Soul 'anthems' ever - very few people outside of the NS scene knew anything at all about the record. But that all changed in 1981 when Marc Almond and David Ball - who had formed synth-pop band, Soft Cell and were regulars at a Sheffield nightclub - heard the record and released a version.
It went straight to Number 1 in the UK pop charts and became the 'best-selling UK single of 1981'. Ironically, Gloria Jones's original version still remained almost completely unknown by the vast majority of the British record-buying public. Despite this, Ms Jones enjoyed further success by releasing the excellent 'Come Go with Me' LP [on the Uptown record label] in 1966.
I have an original copy of the LP and the title track ['Come Go with Me'] also became a huge favourite on the NS scene - particularly at Blackpool Mecca. [Jones who had gained a degree as an advanced level classical pianist - accompanied herself on the record which gave the song a very polished and accomplished delivery.
Personally, I actually prefer 'Come Go with Me' to 'Tainted Love'. But don't misunderstand me! 'Tainted Love' was a phenomenon and Gloria Jones' original version pisses all over Soft Cell's! Get a copy of Gloria Jones's original version, put it on your turntable, crank up the volume and I promise you - it will blow your f**king socks off!
👍🇦🇺
@@thesoultwins72 Interesting post. Never knew she was the original voice of Tainted Love. Strange that this documentary wouldn't even mention that, rather than describe her as just a backing singer.
@thesoultwins72 Good post, but he couldn't have married her, he was still legally married to June at the time of his death.
@@wattage2007 I think they said 'his' backing singer, which is what she was.
It’s a shame this happened, sad the money didn’t go to people who could have used it , instead to lawyers and accountants for 25 years.
Shocking 😢
Money brings out the worst in people.
Lawyers are like vultures
I remember selling Bolan posters at school
Great talent, broke the mould, opened the door for Slade, Bay City Rollers, David Bowie and in my opinion Queen, great time of our lives in the 1970 revolution of Bohemian freedom. They were the best times in human history, 1970’s 👍
Same thing happened to Badfinger really got ripped off so sad
1 word we were there a great time for music music takes the good 1s ❤
Loved the music still do beautiful man, fantastic talent . ❤❤💔💔 49:34
That's odd! Today I nearly went off the road in my car on a corner, turns out to be one of the rear tyres was nearly flat. Would be particularly dangerous if you were driving on a familiar road
GOOD MARC❤❤
POOR MARC HE GOT NOTHING , HE GOT RIP OFF Poor man and he's girlfriend ,and son it's sad l love him still to ❤❤❤😊
Love mark ❤
Not that much if you can't even spell his name.
His millions ( 27 to be exact) went to a lady who now lives on the other side of the planet from Bolan. RIP BB.
kenny, I think that a lot of his money went up his nose.
Cocaine is an expensive habit
WHO
wheres Rolan?
@@kevinjoseph517 - many years ago I signed my silence away. Forever
@ 4-00...that was some impact, how fast was she driving?
Too fast, too drunk...also, the old Morris mini was built like a coke can. Any kind of impact and they crumpled. It didn't help that he wasn't wearing a seat belt, but he probably wouldn't have survived regardless. His seat was thrown into the back of the car. Awful accident. He didn't stand a chance.
I bet he was a part of your life Gloria you'd seen dollar signs no doubt his wife June should have gotten his money after all they weren't divorced
I Remember that day.
Soo exciting...... and very sad to see it end at his happiest time... makes me wonder if that's how he expected it to be?
Loved Marc, we lost him too soon. His music was fantastic
Not hard to see were his money went. Lawyers bankers, self entitled crooks & self abuse. Still love him❤❤🎉
WHAT A BUNCH OF HUMAN FAILURES
Metal grue best song in the eighties
Its the same as Joe Strummer from the CLASH! After all those hits he was 'only' worth $700k
Surly he was worth 10x that much!
I don't like Gloria
tainted glove
@Elzie Wilson me neither. she shows no remorse for what she did shes a horrible person
Y’all some evil creeps
@@Vincent50 it's not people here that are evil They've got understood reasons not to like her it's their right!
Gloria and Marc seem to have got their comeuppance for the way June was treated. For Gloria it was almost a joke. These women who seek to separate those already married !! See what happened to Lennon after Ono stepped in. Countless other similar splits have resulted in tragedies.
So true!!
Yes and Jones was a bloody liar when she said they planed to get married and have another kid :seriously Marc wasn't even ready to have Rolan This woman is crazy and she liked to go out drugs and alcohol that doesn't make a great wife or mother When I heard saying this I just reacted like :"she's delusional there's no way Marc would want that as he even predicted he would die before thirty This is exactly like when she said he was talking about Elvis in the car that fatal night She wants it so to be romantic but we won't believe this..
@@OtelliSandrina How do you know so much about what Marc thought and felt?
Are you a personal friend , close confidant ,of Marc's or a close family member?
Marc's brother clearly had time for them both , but you know something different. You should share more and tell us all your association
Do you know about the other Will ? Where the Royalties are going ?
Please share with us all , you seem to be so much in the know.
@@MrAllenm94 not about royalties..
@@OtelliSandrina Well don't be shy ,tell us all you know, . Tell us all your connection to Mark
It was me! - I got them, thanks for asking though.
❤❤
What a tragedy. My sister loved him. Not my thing
Marc should have worn the seat belt. he didnt.
It wasn't illegal not to wear a seat belt then.
I find it very strange that someone so young would have written a will ? How old was he when he had written one, 12years old ? I am a great fan of T Rex. When my husband passed, at his funeral I had played Get It On. It was the first dance we had together at my Aunty's place. I had bought the Electric Warrior Album and having a big family that loved music, it was a hit !! But someone nicked it a few weeks later. What a loss for me . Still pissed off about it today.
My pal is a singer, she says she was the product of a dallinance Bolan had with her Mother who was a dancer. They went to America as part of a documentary to trace her DNA a test was done that proved she is also the daughter of Marc, a half sister of Rolan and is also due an inheritance. A super injunction was taken out by Gloria Jones to stop her claiming. Get that... So much for the Children of the Revolution
Wasn"t there a police investigation? Did she flee the country?
❤😊
Don't blame him ❤
He replaced his wife who was running the business and money with payed lawyers and bankers and they milked it dry along with the tax man
Who ever did look after Marc Bolans finances would of skimmed off the top for sure!!!!!! Leaving nothing to family doesn't make sense......when things don't make sense its NOT TRUE.....RIP T.REX
She lost her Meal Ticket, is a Total LIAR ..... She only wanted the money 💰
Do you actually even know any of these people?
The mistake mark bolan made was not checking is bank account for some who like to hold on to his money that was a very big mistake
I hope that his son gets what's owed to him. It's just so sad that these situations are still happening. Did they do a thorough investigation of the car??? Just seems a bit rum to me. Thankyou for the music Mr Nolan ad the rest of the band and roadies.
His publishing companies
Bankers and solicitors took his money
I hope this year of 2024 helps Roland Bolan receive his dues
With Gods grace
Marc looks like actor Johnny Depp
Hi Anna wow you picked that up ,they really do look like brother's
Recalled a yarn that on Marcus 8th.birthday was the day James.dean passed
🎉🌼 rip ,your creative juices have made some happy happy memories for so many 🎉
Don’t insult Marc
Poor marc and June
She "loved him" but ran back to the USA to avoid her court date. Anne Sacoolas mark 1
24:32 the Negresco hotel is not in Monte Carlo of course, it is in Nice.
Sad krap. Only T-Rex's musical endures. His "fortune" -- not so much.
I'd say his dealer got a big chunk of it!
He should have stopped with June .No the gold digger.
Gloria had a career. Why was she so broke after Marc died? Gloria was not his wife!!! He was still married to June.
she was a black single mother in the 70s..she had to kiss her career goodbye
If he hadn’t been involved with her he would have still be alive today.
@@leeflea2874 MOTOWN IS CROOKS
Bolan screwed them by not being an adult, paying his taxes and making a will. His legal beneficiary was his then wife, who was harassed for her portion of taxes for a comoany she had no control over. Where was his "family" during that debacle? He was an idiot, cheater and drug addict who obviously didn't care about his family enough. Stop giving him a pass. He almost ruined his wife, his mistress thought she would be rich one day and is now selling a sob story she's been trying to sell since he died decades ago before putting a bottle down and making a will. Sad, but true.
Bowie also shit on the spiders, paid them peanuts. Used them and dumped them. Bolan learnt from the best. Bolan hid the money so well where it was died with him. He trusted strangers to keep his money safe. And they have not let him down.
Nice one. Cheers!
Do you think Prince was inspired by Marc Bolan ?
Yup
Alesis did step up their game with the Strata Prime e-kit. As other reviewers of this kit have pointed out, it has a few issues, so once Alesis comes out with a properly tested e-kit that does not have the issues, although most are minor, I can not recommend Alesis e-kits as there are better similarly priced e-kits from other companies. It would have been nice to see you and hear you playing with the others more and get your bandmates' real-time opinion of the Alesis Strata Prime e-kit. Unfortunately, as this is an Alesis sponsored video, you did not really say what your actual honest thoughts are on the kit, and it seemed being a sponsor video you avoided talking about what you dislike and any problem you had playing the e-kit. I bet if you played the brand e-kit, I have you would consider playing it live for any style music including jazz, as I do play a lot of jazz on it. The cymbals on my e-kit feel and respond just like real metal cymbals to play. The other thing my e-kit has over Alesis is better sensitivity and sound depth with the cymbals. Just like good metal jazz cymbals, you can get all kinds of sounds and nuance sounds out of them. My hi-hat is a 2-piece and much more realistic to play over the overly floppy 1-piece hi-hat the Alesis kit has. I am not saying I have the best e-kit there is as there are even better ones, I am just saying if you played a real good e-kit such as like the one I have or better(my e-kit was a little less than the cost of the Alesis Strata Prime e-kit), then you know it is hard to tell you are playing an e-kit and not an accustic drum kit.
