The reference to "Spanish Midnight" could indicate a heightened sense of romantic intensity or exoticism associated with the setting (or the person being addressed).

And don't tell me he couldn't play guitar! Love you forever Marc and don't worry, your fans are still here after all these years.

+Topolino Bolan was a great guitarist and gave us lots of memorable riffs and his own groove. He wasn't a technical quitar whiz like Hendrix, but he never needed to be. He was unique. His music is timeless - and still making us dance. :)

@OurGabi

+Kelly Reade Totally agree! Yes! But I just read some comments about Marc, that he was bad guitarist.
You´re right, he was unique and he was just MARC.

Marc NEVER gets the respect he so rightfully deserves. Shame on the whole music industry. SHAME ON YOU. R.II.P. Marc you will never be forgotten , your fans will never cease.

This was my theme tune when my Friend Ian and myself ran Midnight Mobile disco in the 70's. He's a legend

@andytrex

It's amazing to think that this song was a B-Side (to The Groover). Proof once again that Bolan's B-Sides were better than many other artists A-Sides.

@lunasanja4574

why is it that almost EACH of Marc's songs are so catchy that they immediately enter my brain or am I biased? lol
