I loved T Rex when I was a kid. In retrospect Marc Bolan's songs are timeless. Elton John was already established by then. Bowie and Marc Bolan were mate's as well. Bowie tried to revive his career after his career crashed due to massive drinking problems and just before he was killed in a car crash. I believe his pregnant girlfriend survived the crash.

Yes!! T. Rex has always been criminally underrated (to me, at least) - seems nobody in any circle I've come across my age is familiar with them. But I grew up with their music, and it always surprised me they don't have as large a young audience as some of their contemporaries from around the same time.

This takes me back. Had lots of this stuff playing in the house while I grew up. 20th Century Boy and Deborah are classics too. Thanks for sharing
