After evacuant his debut solo individual, "The Wizard," and its follow-ups, "The Third Degree" and "Hipster Gumbo," on Decca Records in the U.K. in 1965-1966, he coupled the band John's Children in 1967.

They made tierce albums, My People Were Fair and Had Sky in Their Hair merely Now They're Content to Wear Stars on Their Brows (1968), Prophets, Seers and Sages, the Angels of the Ages (1968), and Unicorn (1969), so split, with Bolan retaining the band predict and teaming up with Mickey Finn on the galvanizing Beard of Stars (1970). By the goal of 1970, with the call abbreviated to T. Rex, Bolan and Finn scored a U.K. reach with "Taunt a White Swan," the low gear of x straight Top Ten hits, and the album T. Rex. Adding bass player Steve Curry and drummer Bill Fifield, T. Rex expanded into a fully fledged rock-and-roll & roll banding, and scored a phone number one stumble with "Hot Love" and another with "Acquire It On." (Under the title "Have it away a Gong (Convey It On)," the song became T. Rex's only substantial U.S. reach, making the Top Ten in 1972.) This was followed by the landmark record album Electric Warrior (1971), which topped the U.K. charts and included the single "Jeepster." Then came "Telegram Sam," T. Rex's third base U.K. act one. "Metallic element Guru" became T. Rex's fourth number one in May 1972. (During this period, with T.Rextasy hit Britain, numerous reissues also charted.) The future unexampled T. Rex album, The Slider, became a Top Ten reach in July 1972. T. Rex's seventh straight Top Ten unmarried, "Children of the Revolution," peaked in the charts in September, followed by "Solid Gold Easy Action" in December. In March 1973 came "Twentieth Century Boy," the one-ninth T. Rex Top Ten unmarried, and the Top Ten album Tanx. In June, "The Groover" became the band's tenth and final Top Ten unmarried. In August, Bolan tried the ethel Waters for victimisation his have name on records, issue the non-charting "Pirate flag" single credited to Marc Bolan with Big Carrot, merely so he retreated to the T. Rex rubric, though the original group was fragmenting. Bolan and T. Rex's commercial and decisive fortunes declined afterwards, as they released Zinc Alloy and the Hidden Riders of Tomorrow (1974), Bolan's Zip Gun (1975), Futuristic Dragon (1976), and Yawl in the Underworld (1977). Bolan died in an car accident in 1977, and his work has been reissued oft in the U.K. |
