also, throughout his career he kept bringing out their music and helping bands or artists who were interesting but not recognized enough. and relatively recently he apparently played a part in the success of Arcade Fire.

To answer, yes I think several songs may have been in reference to Marc Bolan. This is quite a good article about their personal and working relationship.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...ries--pop.html Once the glam rock craze faded, Marc seemed to struggle to redefine himself. Elton, Bowie, Rod Stewart all managed to transfer their success to America. But it didn't really happen for Marc even though he became romantically involved with a black soul singer from the US.
