Ride A White Swan - David Paton

This song is taken from the Marc Bolan tribute album 'Legacy' released in 2001. I was very lucky to see Marc play at the Wimbledon Theatre in the 70's. Such talent and charisma. He gave a wonderful performance which I will always remember.
A number of artists appeared on this album including Ray Dorset, Chris Farlowe and T Rextasy.
This song is David Paton's excellent version of 'Ride A White Swan'.
Marc's music will always live on in our hearts.

I've never heard Dave's version of this Marc song before - it's damn good!

I don't really remember Tyrannosaurus Rex. Maybe I just didn't listen properly back in the 70s, but it really wasn't till I heard David singing it that I knew what the song was all about. Sorry mate.

T.Rex version is clear as a bell, this is the only other version I've heard.

Now if you'd said Tyrannosaurus Rex, some of those lyrics I couldn't make out.

I totally agree with Tigger, I could never make out the words when Marc sang it. Now it's all clear, thanks David. x

[TiggerScotland]

I didn't make myself clear. Peace too.

Ok I take your point, thought you were referring to the T Rex original.

Peace.
