Marc Bolan was a British singer-songwriter and guitarist who rose to fame in the early 1970s as the founder and frontman of the glam rock band T. Rex. Known for his flamboyant stage presence, distinctive falsetto voice, and hits like "Bang a Gong (Get It On)" and "20th Century Boy," Bolan became an iconic figure of the glam rock era and a major influence on rock music. His innovative blend of rock, pop, and electronic elements, combined with his theatrical fashion sense, made him a cultural phenomenon before his tragic death in a car accident in 1977 at the age of 29.
