Well it's plain to see you were meant for me

The glam icon that was Marc Bolan would have been 65 years old today. This month it was also 35 years since the singer was killed in that infamous car crash, just two weeks before his 30th birthday.

At the recent star-studded tribute concert to Mr Bolan in London - at which such luminaries as Noddy Holder, Glen Matlock, Sandie Shaw, Lyndsey De Paul, Alvin Stardust, Steve Harley, Linda Lewis and Boy George all performed - none other than namesake Marc Almond did this rather fab version of Till Dawn with the tribute act T-Rextasy:

Marc Almond with T-Rexstasy - Till Dawn

But there is only one Marc Bolan, and here is possibly my favourite tune of his - 20th Century Boy:

T-Rex - 20th Century Boy

Oow
Friends say it's fine, friends say it's good
Ev'rybody says it's just like Rock and Roll
I move like a cat, charge like a ram
Sting like a bee, babe I wanna be your man
Well it's plain to see you were meant for me, yeah
I'm your boy, your 20th century toy

Friends say it's fine, my friends say it's good
Everybody says it's just like rock and roll
Fly like a plane, drive like a car
Ball like a hound, babe I wanna be your man - oh
Well it's plain to see you were meant for me, yeah
I'm your toy, your 20th century boy

20th century toy, I wanna be your boy
20th century toy, I wanna be your boy
20th century toy, I wanna be your boy
20th century toy, I wanna be your boy

Friends say it's fine, friends say it's good
Ev'rybody says it's just like Rock and Roll
Move like a cat, charge like a ram
Sting like a bee, babe I wanna be your man
Well it's plain to see you were meant for me, yeah
I'm your toy, your 20th century boy

20th century toy, I wanna be your boy
20th century toy, I wanna be your boy
20th century toy, I wanna be your toy
20th century boy, I wanna be your toy

Eternally missed...
