Over 20 million record sales to his name!, Gary Glitter is not just a superstar - he is a phenomenon whose life, both private and public, mirrors his extravagant, controversial and over the top, but always entertaining, live performances. His 21 hit singles have earned him a place in the Top 100 all time most successful chart acts, Gary's records spent a combined total of 168 weeks in the UK Top 75! Born as Paul Gadd in Banbury, Oxfordshire, on May, 8th 1944, the future Mr. Glitter's first serious band was Paul Russell & His Rebels, the Russell part of the name being his stepfather's surname. His first public appearance was in a Saturday morning Skiffle contest at the Sutton Granada where they performed the Buddy Holly song 'Oh Boy!' "We were just as bad as ev More... (Submit New Gary Glitter Lyrics) (Submit New Gary Glitter Lyrics) Review about Gary Glitter A Classic Album from The Leader! | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the album Silver Star performed by Gary Glitter Although in 1977 Glam Rock was on the way out and with it, it's king, Gary Glitter too was looking like he was heading on the scrap heap, he managed to release one of popular music's most intresting (and overlooked) albums "SILVER STAR". Although the album produced three UK chart entires with "A Little Boogie Woogie (In The Back Of My Mind", "It Takes All Night Long" and "You Belong To Me", the album was a far cry from the commerical heights Glitter was enjoying just a few years before. Not that this album was worse than his biggest successes it was just different. Gone are the crowd chanting "Rock N Roll, Hey" crys and in it's place a heavily disco-pop driven record. "Haven't I See You Somewhere Before?" is one of the albums highlights, a disco tinged number that we would never hear the like of from Glitter again. Glitter does remember his rock n roll roots on the goodtime boogie number "Heartbreaking Blue Eyed Boy", which owes a debt to the 1950s rockers at Sun Studios like Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis. Glitter's version of Kevin Johnson's "Rock N Roll (I Gave You The Best Years Off My Life)" works well, but it misses out the final optimistic verse of the original, leaving the impression the singer is not happy with his current life (Johnson wrote the song based in part on his own life). SILVER STAR is one of my favorite albums, it's not the greatest album ever made, but it is better than most. Today's artists can only dream of cranking out an album so diverse and clever. It seemed more easy to artists of this genration to be able to do so, so easy in fact that many of these classic albums didn't even get noticed. nice song | Reviewer: raymond zammit ------ About the song The Wanderer performed by Gary Glitter hello the song is nice but i dont know if the song is writen by gary gltter or somone else thank you Disco Classic! | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song A Little Boogie Woogie (In The Back Of My Mind) performed by Gary Glitter In 1977, after half a decade of already being a major force in the UK top 40, Gary Glitter issued "A Little Boogie Woogie In The Back Of My Mind" a great disco stomping good time boogie number. Although it failed to make the top 10 it did spend a couple of months floating around the top 100, selling well over 200,000 copies. This is one of the best disco rockers of all time. An emotional masterpiece | Reviewer: GLITTERMANIA ------ About the song Remember Me This Way performed by Gary Glitter This song moves me in ways I never could have imagined. It is the most emotional song ever written. Gary Glitter is a living legend. HOW DARE "you know who" call him disgraceful. Shame on those who have turned their backs him. Glittermania will always be alive in the hearts of true Glitter fans.
