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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 ~
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 ❤❤
People here are knocking Cilla, but Burt Bacharach seemed to think she was pretty swell. And when you hear her sing his tunes, you really can't blame him. This, admittedly, is more novel than anything. But it's still 'Life's a Gas' and that's still a-ok with me. RIP CILLA! RIP MARC!
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
who's knocking her? all we have today are Auto Tuned no talent clones, the ignorant arseholes who give negative feedback do not even know what an actual live performance is. Cilla transformed from a pop singer to a legend because the tv audiences got it, she was human and they wanted to have her perform in the living rooms week after week. Marc Bolan way too early for his time, Marc and T Rex could have so easily slotted the decades after his tragic death. Cilla and Marc both missed R.I.P
lovely.Many years ago when i was 19 i had a VHS tape of a documentary about Marc and T.Rex,narrated by Adam Ant,and this clip is on it.I have missed it for years,so thankyou for allowing me to enjoy it again!
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.
Can’t believe how good this is, fantastic well done.
Il guaio è che non c'è più 😢

So great.....totally something Marc would say according to how he is remembered by his friends.
Bolan a true legend of music

Für immer. Der Song berührt mich sehr.
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.
Who would have thought it...the king of glam rock singing with 'Our Cilla'
But my god does it work! Just fantastic!
Two icons pooling their talents.So sad they are both departed.This clip is ,therefore,priceless

An unusual pairing but somehow it works.
Cilla and Marc 2 lovely people down to earth missed very much
I love this tune! Life's a Gas!!!!! Singing along now with you Marc and Cilla 🤗😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏😇😇😇😇
Beautiful. What a great voice Marc had. This is a great duet
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...
Brilliant - Cilla and Marc sing so beautifully together. I remember seeing it on TV all those years ago.
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'.

Remember this as if it were yesterday. One of my favourite songs to this day. RIP Marc & Cilla.
RIP to the fabulous Cilla reunited with Bobby at last, and the formidable Marc Bolan taken way too soon - rest easy guys x
A wonderful duet by these two great stars both now sadly missed.
Marc is mesmerizing
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!!!
More ! More ! Love Marc Bolan and Cilla Black ! ♥️
Two different types collide and wow what a story
Beautifully song, and the contrast & harmony of there vocals works a treat!
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 ❤️🌹
Marc Bolans song ”Life’s a Gad” is wonderful. This is is a great version ! Love it ! ❤John
Very compatible voices, regardless of genre.
This may be the best thing I've seen.
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.
Ummm, just wow. This is an amazing duet kids!
What a voice Bolan had, he left his Mark on my youth.
What a great song writer,the Electric Warrior forever.
Indeed. My Model 3 is called Electric Warrior.
Tasteful acoustic guitar, bass guitar, and vocal duet. Very nice sound!
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
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... ^-^
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
There voices sound beautiful together!
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..
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.
What a great under rated performer Marc was
"Oh Yes You Could"! Go Cilla! Rest in Awesomeness Cilla and Marc...
Marc and Cilla your beautiful , may you both be in a better place xx
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?
Mark Bolan will never be dead with his videos and music never go out of fashion he will be around forever ❤
Marc looks and sounds so beautiful on this video! 😍💕
How absolutely wonderful....
CHalk and cheese yet they make such a great version of this Marc Bolan song xxxx
Oh he was so gorgeous!
That was surprisingly good. Both talented in their own very different ways.
Excellent. Steve Took played a huge part in the eventual huge success of the band. Great percussion and vocalist. ✌️
I just saw this and I think they sounded beautiful! Marc was gorg as ever....
Cilla and Marc, what an amazing collaboration.
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.
Awwh bless 2 legends
Absolutely beautiful 2 legends
simply brilliant.
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 ❤❤
Always loved this version with cilla black 👍♥️
Sweet and classic. What a duet!
Quite simple. Beautiful.
Shocking news yesterday. Just thinking about this last week. She has given us some wonderful memories. RIP Cilla.
This is just simply brilliant. I love it!
People here are knocking Cilla, but Burt Bacharach seemed to think she was pretty swell. And when you hear her sing his tunes, you really can't blame him.
This, admittedly, is more novel than anything. But it's still 'Life's a Gas' and that's still a-ok with me.
RIP CILLA! RIP MARC!
Bill Bittinger Burt invited Cilla to sing with him in London recently , unfortunately she wasn't well enough to travel. RIP Cilla xx
+Bill Bittinger
Indeed.
RIP CILLA! RIP MARC.
Actually, when they recorded Alfie - I don't think Burt was too impressed. But I like Cilla's version, especially the quieter bits, very intimate.
Bill Bittinger v
She had a fantastic voice some of her early records where amazing.
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.

Remember watching this all them years ago .
Marc was gorgeous 😍
A beautiful combination of voices!
Two of my favorite artists in one video.
Very unlikely pairing but it works due to their collective talents.

good comment;i love this performance of them together.
Two very different elements mixed together to create something special, I think it's called chemistry!
My first idol
And now i'm 61 and i love Marc like i'm 11🤩
God marc bolan was a star is a star and always will be a star looks hair smile talent just awesome 👌
This is such an odd pairing but I love it
It’s usually odd ones that work

One of the last Cilla Shows in early 1973 if my memory serves me correctly. Brilliant to see it here again.
Goosebumps! Wonderful just Wonderful!
