Marc Bolan was an influential English singer, songwriter, and musician who pioneered the glam rock movement in the early 1970s. As the frontman of the band T. Rex, he achieved massive success with hits like "Get It On," "Ride a White Swan," and "20th Century Boy." His flamboyant style, mystical lyrics, and distinctive guitar riffs made him one of the most iconic stars of his era. Bolan's career was tragically cut short when he died in a car crash just two weeks before his 30th birthday, but his music continues to influence artists worldwide.
