Marsha Hunt met Marc Bolan in 1969 after having a minor hit with Dr. John`s "Walk on Gilded Splinters." "She showed up one night while we were recording "Unicorn," said Tony Visconti. "The two of them just looked at each other and it was like magic. You could see the shafts of light pouring out of their eyes into each other. They were eating each other up alive. We finished the session unusually early, and Marc and Marsha walked out into the night hand in hand." Hunt says in her autobiography that the relationship was based on more than physical attraction. "I personified things which Marc rejected. He was reclusive, macrobiotic, and professed aversion to success," writes Hunt. "To Marc, my visibility was commercial, and this wasn`t appropriate to the serious art of music which he implied was validated by obscurity."
