Tragic that Marc would be gone only 4 years after this performance. There’s a sweet purity to the duet with just the acoustic guitar. Marc such an icon of the time with effortless cool. Maybe he could have been as big as Bowie, we’ll never know. Bowie recalled their first conversation as rivals in the pop music industry “We looked each other up and down and Marc said ‘your shoes look shit’, I immediately liked him”.
i saw cilla black on some programme or other a few years ago when she was talking about her career and she said this was one of the highlights and she actually still had the feather boa. she seemed very sincere and it was quite moving.
Living outside the UK, I somehow missed the news of Ms. Black's passing. Reading this comment is the first I knew of it… what a way to find out, and what a song to find out to.
i'm old enough to remember this when it was on tv originally - and remebering noticing he had changed 'priestess' into 'princess' in the lyric. Great performance of a great song from his best album 'Electric Warrior'.
When I first sad this I wondered if they asked him to change the word for religious reasons or some thing. Perhaps they thought the word priestess would offend some people. I’m sure he didn’t change it of his own accord. Beautiful song. I’ve always loved it.
I live how he changed the line from “priestess” to “princess” for her, and the look on his face. What a beautiful duet. I never thought of this song as a duet, but now I can’t see it any other way when performing it.
Einfach wunderschön. Beide sind live richtig gut. Marc Bolan auf dem Höhepunkt seiner Karriere. Für mich,wunderschöne Erinnerungen an meine Jugend. Bin 63 und noch immer T.Rex Fan . Für immer. Der Song berührt mich sehr.
Marc gave her the pink feather scarf and she kept it and was one of her favourite possessions she really did fancy him like little school girl in the playground how she looks at him ❤❤
Just beautiful, T Rex was my first introduction to the world of pop. We were all robbed by Marc's death. In this video Cilla compliments Marc's voice wonderfully. Thanks for the upload. Two stars gone but not forgotten.
This is a truly wonderful performance of one of Marc Bolan's most sublime musical creations. A song of great subtly and sophistication wrapped in an exquisite and beautiful melody, with great, almost jazz-like chords holding everything together. It's such a shame he was taken by the God's so early. The wanted him for themselves.
People here are knocking Cilla, but Burt Bacharach seemed to think she was pretty swell. And when you hear her sing his tunes, you really can't blame him. This, admittedly, is more novel than anything. But it's still 'Life's a Gas' and that's still a-ok with me. RIP CILLA! RIP MARC!
Cilla was going against the tide here, Bolan was being dismissed and marginalised by the press and media etc. ridiculed in some parts. This was such a sweet moment.
They Are Most Endearing together. Timeless timeless peice. Love the peck of frienship at the end & of course how lighthearted the song is also. ~R.i.p U two 🧡💐xo ,,Soo Greatly Missed for Always ~
Not in the USA. I saw T Rex in San Francisco at the height of his British fame and he just didn't click here. Same with when I saw Slade. In the early 70s you had to work America intensively if you didn't have a lot of hits.
@@honestfeedback1226Early Roxy Music as well sort of bypassed the states while over here they were a revelation. I think they were a little too avante garde for them.
Just before T.REX european tour ! We were waiting for Marc and T.REX for the 12 of march at the Olympia of Paris !I could'nt concentrate on my school work ! I just could not !
marc and cilla together singing this song again like they did it in 1973 with all the other great artist we have lost through the years they are all doing a concert in heaven lets remember all of them by playing there songs
Bolan is becoming a bigger legend with every passing year
oh yeah! lol
Roger that!
absolutely agree
Hell yeah!
He was so unique his look was one part of it but the voice and his beats always stand out
Cilla and Marc 2 lovely people down to earth missed very much
Love, love, love this duet! Keep a little Marc in your heart! Happy 2024 world, wishing everyone peace and love.
So AGREE! So SWEET!💕🥰💕
well blow me down - I am huge fan of Bolan - brilliant song writer and musician
Beautiful song ❤
You as well lovely
@@mandysmayhem5517 Thank you!

So great.....totally something Marc would say according to how he is remembered by his friends.
Two different types collide and wow what a story
i saw cilla black on some programme or other a few years ago when she was talking about her career and she said this was one of the highlights and she actually still had the feather boa. she seemed very sincere and it was quite moving.
Who could deny his smile. Captivating.
I love this. Cilla and Marc are a great team. Sounds stunning. Marc is missed.
Michele D. Davess And now sadly Cilla will be greatly missed too, but I guess they are up there reprising this duet now.
Two icons pooling their talents.So sad they are both departed.This clip is ,therefore,priceless
Living outside the UK, I somehow missed the news of Ms. Black's passing. Reading this comment is the first I knew of it… what a way to find out, and what a song to find out to.
An unusual pairing but somehow it works.
What a wonderful duet. A little piece of musical magic.
schau mal Solomon Burke + E.Harris
eww
I agree, as it sounds like Elton & Kiki singing Don't Go Breaking My Heart together. Was better than Marc's original version from Electric...
Bolan a true legend of music

What a great under rated performer Marc was
Who would have thought it...the king of glam rock singing with 'Our Cilla'
But my god does it work! Just fantastic!
Marc is mesmerizing
Very compatible voices, regardless of genre.
Cilla and Marc, what an amazing collaboration.
I had this guitar , I’m officially offering a reward .
Legend and fabulous production.
Amazing lyrics xx❤
@@rocknrollbuff Why does all his stuff get ripped off?
Marc loved Cilla and asked to be on her show... its a shame you dont see him give Cilla his feather boa just before they start singing xxx
I live how he changed the line from “priestess” to “princess” for her, and the look on his face. What a beautiful duet. I never thought of this song as a duet, but now I can’t see it any other way when performing it.
I feel the exact things you wrote... ^-^
Beautiful. What a great voice Marc had. This is a great duet
Can’t believe how good this is, fantastic well done.
KEEP A LITTLE MARC IN YOUR HEART
Most definatly 🤗
Always. 💕
Wear a tall hat like a druid in the old days wear a tall hat and a tattooed gown....

Brilliant - Cilla and Marc sing so beautifully together. I remember seeing it on TV all those years ago.
Einfach wunderschön. Beide sind live richtig gut. Marc Bolan auf dem Höhepunkt seiner Karriere.
Für mich,wunderschöne Erinnerungen an meine Jugend. Bin 63 und noch immer T.Rex Fan .
Für immer. Der Song berührt mich sehr.
There voices sound beautiful together!
I love this tune! Life's a Gas!!!!! Singing along now with you Marc and Cilla 🤗😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏😇😇😇😇
RIP to the fabulous Cilla reunited with Bobby at last, and the formidable Marc Bolan taken way too soon - rest easy guys x
What a voice Bolan had, he left his Mark on my youth.
How absolutely wonderful....
CHalk and cheese yet they make such a great version of this Marc Bolan song xxxx
Ummm, just wow. This is an amazing duet kids!
What a great song writer,the Electric Warrior forever.
Indeed. My Model 3 is called Electric Warrior.
Marc was so lovely ..so very sad how he was taken from the music industry but he and other's will surely live on through their talent ❤️🌹
Remember this as if it were yesterday. One of my favourite songs to this day. RIP Marc & Cilla.
A wonderful duet by these two great stars both now sadly missed.
Oh he was so gorgeous!
More ! More ! Love Marc Bolan and Cilla Black ! ♥️
Beautifully song, and the contrast & harmony of there vocals works a treat!
This may be the best thing I've seen.
Amazing. I always liked T-Rex but never heard them live until the other day and I could not believe Bolan’s voice nor that he could play guitar..
Quite simple. Beautiful.
Marc and Cilla your beautiful , may you both be in a better place xx
Marc gave her the pink feather scarf and she kept it and was one of her favourite possessions she really did fancy him like little school girl in the playground how she looks at him ❤❤
Tasteful acoustic guitar, bass guitar, and vocal duet. Very nice sound!
Just beautiful, T Rex was my first introduction to the world of pop. We were all robbed by Marc's death. In this video Cilla compliments Marc's voice wonderfully. Thanks for the upload. Two stars gone but not forgotten.
There no words, how it BEAUTIFULLY!!!
Marc was gorgeous 😍
So sweet.
I love this man
God marc bolan was a star is a star and always will be a star looks hair smile talent just awesome 👌
My first idol
And now i'm 61 and i love Marc like i'm 11🤩
Fabulous.
I just saw this and I think they sounded beautiful! Marc was gorg as ever....
"Oh Yes You Could"! Go Cilla! Rest in Awesomeness Cilla and Marc...
This is just fabulous. When I first heard about it, I chuckled, but my god this works so well. Cracking song too, one of Marc's finest.
Sweet and classic. What a duet!
Remember watching this all them years ago .
Marc looks and sounds so beautiful on this video! 😍💕
Two of my favorite artists in one video.
Very unlikely pairing but it works due to their collective talents.
simply brilliant.
Cilla had a very unique singing voice. No one else sounds like her, neither past nor present.
Thank God!
Her voice was dreadful!
A beautiful combination of voices!
This is a truly wonderful performance of one of Marc Bolan's most sublime musical creations. A song of great subtly and sophistication wrapped in an exquisite and beautiful melody, with great, almost jazz-like chords holding everything together.

Awwh bless 2 legends
People here are knocking Cilla, but Burt Bacharach seemed to think she was pretty swell. And when you hear her sing his tunes, you really can't blame him.
This, admittedly, is more novel than anything. But it's still 'Life's a Gas' and that's still a-ok with me.
RIP CILLA! RIP MARC!
Bill Bittinger Burt invited Cilla to sing with him in London recently , unfortunately she wasn't well enough to travel. RIP Cilla xx
+Bill Bittinger
Indeed.
RIP CILLA! RIP MARC.
Actually, when they recorded Alfie - I don't think Burt was too impressed. But I like Cilla's version, especially the quieter bits, very intimate.
Bill Bittinger v
She had a fantastic voice some of her early records where amazing.
Two very different elements mixed together to create something special, I think it's called chemistry!
Cilla was going against the tide here, Bolan was being dismissed and marginalised by the press and media etc. ridiculed in some parts. This was such a sweet moment.
Well said!
Agreed
Their voices worked so well together. Beautiful.
An unusual pairing, but somehow it works..RIP to them both
Absolutely beautiful 2 legends
That was surprisingly good. Both talented in their own very different ways.
They're charming together.
RIP Marc Bolan too
Always loved this version with cilla black 👍♥️
Surprisingly good 👍🇬🇧
Incredible!
They Are Most Endearing together. Timeless timeless peice. Love the peck of frienship at the end & of course how lighthearted the song is also. ~R.i.p U two 🧡💐xo ,,Soo Greatly Missed for Always ~
I love this, too, but for me this song is not lighthearted at all. I think it’s very deep and kind of poignant.
Anyone who can make me listen to Cilla Black,
AND LOve what I'm hearing is A Genus.
Thanks. I love them both, just so weird to see them singing together.
Love this video.Just super sweet music.
Beautiful Duet
♥️🌟💗💗🌟♥️
This is just simply brilliant. I love it!
This is so lovely.......tender.
so sweet 😍
True gem. RIP Cilla.
R.I.P Cilla. Love this song 👼
It's hard to see Marc sometimes
It drives me to tears
A very melodic number. I don't think people today realise just how big Bolan was in the early '70's.
Not in the USA. I saw T Rex in San Francisco at the height of his British fame and he just didn't click here. Same with when I saw Slade. In the early 70s you had to work America intensively if you didn't have a lot of hits.
the yanks just don't get music!
@@honestfeedback1226Early Roxy Music as well sort of bypassed the states while over here they were a revelation. I think they were a little too avante garde for them.
Shocking news yesterday. Just thinking about this last week. She has given us some wonderful memories. RIP Cilla.
Strangely this song and this performance popped into my head. After 50 years. I could even remember the coda. After only one hearing. 50 years ago.
Goosebumps! Wonderful just Wonderful!
One of the last Cilla Shows in early 1973 if my memory serves me correctly. Brilliant to see it here again.
Delightful - made me smile.
RIP Cilla ! Great wee duet with Marc
Beautiful! 😍💓
This was a fantastic pairing and great song guitar by Marc
Cilla is such a beautiful singer.
