i saw cilla black on some programme or other a few years ago when she was talking about her career and she said this was one of the highlights and she actually still had the feather boa. she seemed very sincere and it was quite moving.
Living outside the UK, I somehow missed the news of Ms. Black's passing. Reading this comment is the first I knew of it… what a way to find out, and what a song to find out to.
Tragic that Marc would be gone only 4 years after this performance. There’s a sweet purity to the duet with just the acoustic guitar. Marc such an icon of the time with effortless cool. Maybe he could have been as big as Bowie, we’ll never know. Bowie recalled their first conversation as rivals in the pop music industry “We looked each other up and down and Marc said ‘your shoes look shit’, I immediately liked him”.
Einfach wunderschön. Beide sind live richtig gut. Marc Bolan auf dem Höhepunkt seiner Karriere. Für mich,wunderschöne Erinnerungen an meine Jugend. Bin 63 und noch immer T.Rex Fan . Für immer. Der Song berührt mich sehr.
i'm old enough to remember this when it was on tv originally - and remebering noticing he had changed 'priestess' into 'princess' in the lyric. Great performance of a great song from his best album 'Electric Warrior'.
When I first sad this I wondered if they asked him to change the word for religious reasons or some thing. Perhaps they thought the word priestess would offend some people. I’m sure he didn’t change it of his own accord. Beautiful song. I’ve always loved it.
This is a truly wonderful performance of one of Marc Bolan's most sublime musical creations. A song of great subtly and sophistication wrapped in an exquisite and beautiful melody, with great, almost jazz-like chords holding everything together. It's such a shame he was taken by the God's so early. The wanted him for themselves.
Just beautiful, T Rex was my first introduction to the world of pop. We were all robbed by Marc's death. In this video Cilla compliments Marc's voice wonderfully. Thanks for the upload. Two stars gone but not forgotten.
Marc gave her the pink feather scarf and she kept it and was one of her favourite possessions she really did fancy him like little school girl in the playground how she looks at him ❤❤
I live how he changed the line from “priestess” to “princess” for her, and the look on his face. What a beautiful duet. I never thought of this song as a duet, but now I can’t see it any other way when performing it.
They Are Most Endearing together. Timeless timeless peice. Love the peck of frienship at the end & of course how lighthearted the song is also. ~R.i.p U two 🧡💐xo ,,Soo Greatly Missed for Always ~
Strange that I like most of his ballads. He was a rocker but he had good ballads too. Dr. Strange! I’m feeling weird but I got Stars in my Beard! The last line is actually sad. I hope it’s gonna last but he only made it to 29. Way too young to expire. But he lives on forever through his music and clips like this! Thank God for recordings! Audio and Video! And thanks to whoever posted this and to UA-cam! RIP Marc Bolan
marc and cilla together singing this song again like they did it in 1973 with all the other great artist we have lost through the years they are all doing a concert in heaven lets remember all of them by playing there songs
6th March 2020. Watching Cilla at the BBC and heard this for the first time. What a great track now reminiscing where these times have gone. Me, 15 and a half and just joined junior soldiers. Ah well!
Bolan is becoming a bigger legend with every passing year
oh yeah! lol
Roger that!
absolutely agree
Hell yeah!
He was so unique his look was one part of it but the voice and his beats always stand out
Love, love, love this duet! Keep a little Marc in your heart! Happy 2024 world, wishing everyone peace and love.
So AGREE! So SWEET!💕🥰💕
well blow me down - I am huge fan of Bolan - brilliant song writer and musician
Beautiful song ❤
You as well lovely
@@mandysmayhem5517 Thank you!

Who could deny his smile. Captivating.
Cilla and Marc 2 lovely people down to earth missed very much
Bolan a true legend of music
Two different types collide and wow what a story
I love this. Cilla and Marc are a great team. Sounds stunning. Marc is missed.
Michele D. Davess And now sadly Cilla will be greatly missed too, but I guess they are up there reprising this duet now.
Two icons pooling their talents.So sad they are both departed.This clip is ,therefore,priceless

An unusual pairing but somehow it works.
Can’t believe how good this is, fantastic well done.
Il guaio è che non c'è più 😢
What a wonderful duet. A little piece of musical magic.
schau mal Solomon Burke + E.Harris
eww
I agree, as it sounds like Elton & Kiki singing Don't Go Breaking My Heart together. Was better than Marc's original version from Electric...

So great.....totally something Marc would say according to how he is remembered by his friends.

Marc is mesmerizing
Who would have thought it...the king of glam rock singing with 'Our Cilla'
But my god does it work! Just fantastic!
Brilliant - Cilla and Marc sing so beautifully together. I remember seeing it on TV all those years ago.

Beautiful. What a great voice Marc had. This is a great duet
Remember this as if it were yesterday. One of my favourite songs to this day. RIP Marc & Cilla.
Mark Bolan will never be dead with his videos and music never go out of fashion he will be around forever ❤
Marc was so lovely ..so very sad how he was taken from the music industry but he and other's will surely live on through their talent ❤️🌹
Very compatible voices, regardless of genre.
I love this tune! Life's a Gas!!!!! Singing along now with you Marc and Cilla 🤗😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏😇😇😇😇
Ummm, just wow. This is an amazing duet kids!
What a great under rated performer Marc was
There voices sound beautiful together!

What a voice Bolan had, he left his Mark on my youth.
Marc Bolans song ”Life’s a Gad” is wonderful. This is is a great version ! Love it ! ❤John
A wonderful duet by these two great stars both now sadly missed.
RIP to the fabulous Cilla reunited with Bobby at last, and the formidable Marc Bolan taken way too soon - rest easy guys x
Remember watching this all them years ago .
More ! More ! Love Marc Bolan and Cilla Black ! ♥️
Beautifully song, and the contrast & harmony of there vocals works a treat!
Tasteful acoustic guitar, bass guitar, and vocal duet. Very nice sound!
Excellent. Steve Took played a huge part in the eventual huge success of the band. Great percussion and vocalist. ✌️
Anyone who can make me listen to Cilla Black,
AND LOve what I'm hearing is A Genus.
I had this guitar , I’m officially offering a reward .
Legend and fabulous production.
Amazing lyrics xx❤
@@rocknrollbuff Why does all his stuff get ripped off?
How absolutely wonderful....
CHalk and cheese yet they make such a great version of this Marc Bolan song xxxx
Marc loved Cilla and asked to be on her show... its a shame you dont see him give Cilla his feather boa just before they start singing xxx
They're charming together.
KEEP A LITTLE MARC IN YOUR HEART
Most definatly 🤗
Always. 💕
Wear a tall hat like a druid in the old days wear a tall hat and a tattooed gown....
4EVA❤️MARC
Life’s a Gas is a Wonderful song ! I love it. Mar Bolan was so talent that do dear to say...?
What a great song writer,the Electric Warrior forever.
Indeed. My Model 3 is called Electric Warrior.
This Song is so beautiful
Just beautiful, T Rex was my first introduction to the world of pop. We were all robbed by Marc's death. In this video Cilla compliments Marc's voice wonderfully. Thanks for the upload. Two stars gone but not forgotten.
There no words, how it BEAUTIFULLY!!!
Sweet and classic. What a duet!
Cilla and Marc, what an amazing collaboration.
My first idol
And now i'm 61 and i love Marc like i'm 11🤩
Marc and Cilla your beautiful , may you both be in a better place xx
Amazing. I always liked T-Rex but never heard them live until the other day and I could not believe Bolan’s voice nor that he could play guitar..
"Oh Yes You Could"! Go Cilla! Rest in Awesomeness Cilla and Marc...
This is just fabulous. When I first heard about it, I chuckled, but my god this works so well. Cracking song too, one of Marc's finest.
This may be the best thing I've seen.
Oh he was so gorgeous!
Marc looks and sounds so beautiful on this video! 😍💕
That was surprisingly good. Both talented in their own very different ways.
I just saw this and I think they sounded beautiful! Marc was gorg as ever....
Marc gave her the pink feather scarf and she kept it and was one of her favourite possessions she really did fancy him like little school girl in the playground how she looks at him ❤❤
Absolutely beautiful 2 legends
Always loved this version with cilla black 👍♥️
I live how he changed the line from “priestess” to “princess” for her, and the look on his face. What a beautiful duet. I never thought of this song as a duet, but now I can’t see it any other way when performing it.
I feel the exact things you wrote... ^-^
A beautiful combination of voices!
They Are Most Endearing together. Timeless timeless peice. Love the peck of frienship at the end & of course how lighthearted the song is also. ~R.i.p U two 🧡💐xo ,,Soo Greatly Missed for Always ~
I love this, too, but for me this song is not lighthearted at all. I think it’s very deep and kind of poignant.
This is so lovely.......tender.
God marc bolan was a star is a star and always will be a star looks hair smile talent just awesome 👌
Beautiful duet, Marc was unique.
Two very different elements mixed together to create something special, I think it's called chemistry!
Actually remember watching this ❤
Two of my favorite artists in one video.
Very unlikely pairing but it works due to their collective talents.
One of the last Cilla Shows in early 1973 if my memory serves me correctly. Brilliant to see it here again.
simply brilliant.
Awwh bless 2 legends
Quite simple. Beautiful.
Marc was gorgeous 😍
Shocking news yesterday. Just thinking about this last week. She has given us some wonderful memories. RIP Cilla.
Goosebumps! Wonderful just Wonderful!
Beautiful Duet
♥️🌟💗💗🌟♥️
Love this. What an awesome duo they made.
Thanks. I love them both, just so weird to see them singing together.
The month and year I was born, I love this song and Marc.
This is just simply brilliant. I love it!
Cilla had a very unique singing voice. No one else sounds like her, neither past nor present.
Thank God!
Her voice was dreadful!
Surprisingly good 👍🇬🇧
This is just magic to icons sadly gone.
Strange that I like most of his ballads. He was a rocker but he had good ballads too. Dr. Strange! I’m feeling weird but I got Stars in my Beard! The last line is actually sad.

Strangely this song and this performance popped into my head. After 50 years. I could even remember the coda. After only one hearing. 50 years ago.
R.I.P Cilla. Love this song 👼
Sweet Lord!!
This is Solid Gold!! ✨️ ✨️
marc and cilla together singing this song again like they did it in 1973 with all the other great artist we have lost through the years they are all doing a concert in heaven lets remember all of them by playing there songs
