T Rex
I have just heard this on the radio. My sister was a big fan of Marc Bolan (she was a few years older than me) It still sounds fantastic though

They were indeed a wonderful band.
They went from being a dippy hippy duo singing about Tolkien-esque elves and faeries, to a full rock band glam rock sensation with a mass of huge hits.
In the process, Marc Bolan also turned from an earnest young man into bloated coke-addled egomaniac with his career on the skids when he lost his life in a car smash.
But the music lives on - get yourself a copy of the Electric Warrior album, a platter that matters.

that's maybe what he became after the break up of T Rex, but at the time of his death he'd just completed a successful TV series for Granada (Marc), was as fit and trim as he'd been in his heyday and looked to be on the verge of a comeback.

I think the passing of time may have coloured your memory in an over-positive way.
There is one memorable clip of Bolan - looking bloated and glassy-eyed, introducing a band and sniffing loudly the last toot of coke he had ingested in the seconds before the red light came on.
His career was on the skids, his band was gone, he was a coke head, and his further slide into obscurity was halted only by his tragic death, leaving the legacy of the fabulous music he created at his artistic peak, sadly long behind him by the time of his TV show.
