Marc Bolan: The Groover
The saga of Marc Bolan (born 30 September, 1947 - died 16 September, 1977), leader of glam rock group T.Rex, is one of a spunky little dreamer who looked and played the part of an elvish minstrel; whose bizarre voice and songs were dismissed by critics as a fleeting novelty or, worse, a bad joke; and whose most laughable trait of all was a near-mystical belief in his own importance and destiny - in short, a surefire loser who played by rules all his own and went on to become the biggest pop star in Britain.
From "The British Invasion - From The First Wave To The New Wave" by Nicholas Schaffner.
