There is a new wave of interest in Marc Bolan, and not before time. Marc was, as Sir Elton John rightly observed, “the perfect pop star”.
Decked out in velvet and satin, with dashing good looks, dark curls and a natural sense of drama, he had the perfect image for pop. Add smash hits like Metal Guru and Telegram Sam, and you have Britain’s first megastar. He was the king of the New Romantics before the term had been invented.
