Timeline
Born on September 30, 1947 in London, England, Mark Bolan was always destined to be a star. Even as a teenager, he was already seeking fame. Well known as a sharp dresser, he was employed by a modeling agency and became a "John Temple Boy", wearing John Temple suits in their catalogs as well as becoming a cardboard cutout displayed in their shop windows.
He briefly became a member of the 1960s group John's Children before forming his own group, Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Many initial attempts to get into the music business failed, and so he turned to acting, landing several character roles in some television series including a juvenile delinquent on the Sam Kydd series Orlando (1965).
His first recording, "The Wizard", was released in 1965 and resulted in an appearance on the music show Ready, Steady, Go! (1963).
The group's first single was "Debora", also a track on the album "My People Were Fair", released in July 1968.
In July 1969, the group dropped its folksy, hippie sound to go electric with the single "King of the Rumbling Spires". Unfortunately, like his other singles, it failed to take off, only reaching #44. The group shortened its name to T.
Rex and finally broke through with the single "Ride a White Swan" in 1970.
This opened the door to a whole series of hit singles, including "Bang a Gong, Get It On"--on which Elton John played keyboards--which reached the US top 10 in 1971, as well a series of highly acclaimed albums. At the height of his popularity, Bolan had a string of #1 hit singles in the United Kingdom and became a teen idol as well as a leader of the glam rock movement.
Although not a hit the first time around, on its re-release in 1972, when Bolan was at his peak, "Debora" made the UK top 10.
He appeared in Ringo Starr's movie Born to Boogie (1972), a documentary showing a concert at Wembley Empire Pool.
Was one of the many guest musicians on Ringo Starr's self-titled album (1973).
However by 1975, on account of the rise of 1970s soul music, Bolan's career was in decline, at least sales-wise. As a leading figure of the punk rock movement in the United Kingdom, he provided a forum for new acts to appear on television via his own music program.
Marc Bolan passed away on September 16, 1977, only two weeks away from what would have been his 30th birthday on September 30.
His song "Jeepster" was covered by former Marillion singer Fish on his album "Songs from the Mirror" (1993).
