T. Rex - Ride a White Swan ( S1.3 )

 

Legacy

"Ride a White Swan" is considered to have heralded the glam rock movement.

When Bolan died in a car crash in 1977, T. Rex's management paid tribute to Bolan by laying a large white swan made of flowers among the floral tributes on display at Golders Green Crematorium in North London, where his funeral was held.

The song is one of many T. Rex tracks which feature in the film Billy Elliot.

The song is also featured in the video game Lego Rock Band.
