Marc Bolan

  Marc Bolan
  Biography
  Early life and career
  The son of a lorry driver, Bolan grew up in post-war Hackney, East London, amongst a Jewish family, and later lived in Wimbledon, southwest London. He fell in love with the rock and roll of Gene Vincent, Eddie Cochran, Arthur Crudup and Chuck Berry[citation needed] at an early age and became a Mod, hanging around coffee bars such as the 2 Is in Soho. He appeared in an episode of the television show Orlando as a Mod extra.
  At the age of nine, Bolan was given his first guitar and began a skiffle band shortly after, and at fifteen, he left school by mutual consent.

  He briefly joined a modelling agency and became a John Temple Boy, appearing in a clothing catalogue for the menswear store. He was used as a model for their suits in their catalogues as well as a model for cardboard cut-outs to be displayed in shop windows. TOWN Magazine featured him as an early example of the Mod movement in a photo spread with a couple of other faces.
  Marc Feld had changed his name to Toby Tyler when he met and moved in with child actor Allan Warren, who was to become his first manager. Warren saw Toby Tylers potential whilst Toby spent hours sitting cross-legged on Warrens floor playing his acoustic guitar. Warren then took him to the photographer Michael McGrath and commissioned a series of photographs. Warren then hired a recording studio and had Bolans first acetates cut. One track being the Bob Dylan song Blowing in the wind. Also a version of Betty Everetts Youre No Good which was later submitted to EMI for a test screening but they turned down the then Toby Tyler. Warren later sold Marcs contract and recordings for 200.00 to his landlord, property mogul David Kirch, in lieu of three months back rent. Kirch was far too busy with his property empire to do anything for him. A year or so later, Marcs mother pushed into Kirchs office and shouted at him that he had done nothing for her son. She demand he tear up the contract and willingly he complied.
  The tapes produced during the Toby Tyler recording session vanished from thought and mind for over twenty-five years before resurfacing in 1991 and selling for nearly eight thousand dollars. Their eventual release on CD in 1993 made available the earliest of Marcs known recordings.
  After changing his name again to Marc Bolan (via Mark Bowland) while with Decca Records he released his first single The Wizard. In early 1967 Manager Simon Napier Bell added him to the Pop-Art/mod band Johns Children, which achieved some success as a live band but sold few records. A Johns Children single written by Marc Bolan called Desdemona was banned by the BBC for its line lift up your skirt and fly. His tenure with the band was brief. Bolan claimed to have spent time with a wizard in Paris who allegedly gave him secret knowledge and could levitate. The time spent with him was often alluded to but remained mythical; in reality the wizard was probably U.S. actor Riggs OHara with whom Bolan made a trip to Paris in 1965. His songwriting took off and he began writing many of the neo-romantic songs that would appear on his first albums with Tyrannosaurus Rex.
  Besides Berry, Bolans influences included Bob Dylan, Syd Barrett, Cliff Richard and Elvis Presley.
  Tyrannosaurus Rex
  When Johns Children collapsed (amongst other problems, the band were stunned to discover their equipment had been stolen from a studio, according to a Bolan biographer), Bolan and Steve Peregrine Took created Tyrannosaurus Rex, a psychedelic-folk rock acoustic group, playing Bolans songs, with Took playing assorted hand and kit percussion and occasional bass to Bolans acoustic guitars and voice.
  This version of Tyrannosaurus Rex released four albums and four singles, flirting with the charts, getting as high as number fifteen and getting airplay and support from Radio 1 DJ John Peel. One of the highlights of this era was playing at the first free Hyde Park concert in 1968. Drug-taking and free spirited Took was fired from the group after their first American tour. A rock and roller at heart, Bolan began bringing amplified guitar lines into the duos music, buying a vintage Gibson Les Paul guitar (later featured on the cover of the album T. Rex in 1970). After replacing Took with Mickey Finn, he let the electric influences come forward even further on A Beard of Stars, the final album to be credited to Tyrannosaurus Rex. It closed with a song, Elemental Child, featuring a long electric guitar break influenced by Jimi Hendrix.
  Then Bolan, by now married to his girlfriend June Child (a former secretary to the manager of another of his heroes, Syd Barrett), shortened the groups name to T.Rex and wrote and recorded Ride a White Swan, dominated by a rolling, hand clapping back-beat, Bolans electric guitar and Finns percussion.
