Ziggy and his siblings, Cedella, Stephen and Sharon, made their recording debut with their father, "Children Playing in the Streets". The Melody Makers, as the group came to be known, played occasionally for several years, including at their father's funeral in 1981.

T.Rex Salvaged from Archive | Posted: 28 May 2006, 01:43 · [Salvaged from Archive] I personally dont like Marly that much. Some of his stuff aint bad, but he is serverly overated.
I think dead artist syndrome thing. He's become something of a legend, but the real thing isnt quite up to the legend. If that makes sense, not easy to explain imo.
Same situation with Jim Morrison and John Lennon (to an extent) imo.
I love steel pulse though. |
