Ранний период жизни

Он родился в Potchefstroom . Рекс, как он был ласково известен, изучал B Uris В Университете Бопутатсвана, в настоящее время известный как Северо-Западный университет , университет находится в Махикенге, где Рекс некоторое время жил со своей семьей.

Музыкальная карьера

К юго -западу от Йоханнесбурга Икагенг в Потчефструме выпустил группу горячей соул под названием «Любовники -подростки». Это горячая собственность была Рекс Рабанье, волшебник клавиатуры, который был ответом Икагенга на Санки Александру. , Сэмюэль Рабани в возрасте пятнадцати лет. Его Bee Hive Sound принес ему миллионы поклонников по всей стране.

After going solo, Rex Rabanye hit the country with dynamites like O Nketsang and Moya Moya. Some of the multi-talented Rex's painting can be seen on the walls of the African Methodist Church in Ikageng. By the late 80s the lawman who hold a B.Uris degree had moved from his place of birth to Mmabatho near Mafikeng, from where he relaunched his musical career. His other albums include Somlandela, Campus Mood and Stop Nonsons.

It is just so sad that such a gifted individual could be failed by his health to a point of losing his hearing. I was almost moved to tears the evening SAMA 12 honoured him with a Lifetime Achievement award.

There he was on a wheelchair receiving the award he so much deserved after inspiring a whole generation of keyboardists. That reminded me of the night Curtis Mayfield was honoured in the same manner at the Grammy Awards. Touching moments! I stood up in front of my television set and applauded. 'Long live soulman! Go soulman go!' I screamed. Luckily I was alone in the house and did not have to explain myself to anyone..." (Mojapelo, 2008: 47-48)

He was a founding member of the Teenage Lovers band of which they formed in the late 1960s. The band consisted of Rex Rabanye (Keyboardist), Dan Makaku (Guitarist), Toto Rabanye (Bass Guitarist), Boy (Saxophonist) and Victor Masigo (Drummer).Lawrence 'Sackey' Goreoang(the "I Love Ikageng" and "Hey-Tah -Dah" hit maker) was also a guitarist in the band and later resorted to a rivalry band (The Question Marks) of The Teenage Lovers which he founded. The Teenage Lovers band made platinum hits like "Botany 500", "Trinity", "Mmabatho", "Potchefstroom Road" among others. When the Teenage Lovers disbanded Rex went solo, he conceived platinum-selling albums like Onketsang (1986) and Moya moya (1987). To date Onketsang remains one of the favourite songs during African Weddings throughout South Africa and neighbouring countries, which is a legacy that is bound to last for many generations to come.
