He had one of the longest chart runs of any solo singer during the 1970s. His success as a live performer lasted well beyond the 1970s, and the chant from his hit "Rock and Roll (Part 2)" is a perennially popular stadium anthem at sports events, particularly in the United States. Glitter's 1973 number 1 "I'm The Leader Of The Gang (I Am!)" also remains one of the better-known songs of its era. He continued to record in the 1980s and 1990s, with his 1984 song "Another Rock And Roll Christmas" being one of the top 30 Christmas hits of all-time. In the UK alone Glitter scored more than 20 hit singles in the UK Top 75, and released more than twenty albums.
In 1999, Glitter was convicted of child pornography offences classifying him as a sex offender under UK law. He went to live in Vũng Tàu in Vietnam in March 2005 and applied for permanent resident status. Glitter then served three years in prison in Vietnam, convicted (in a highly controversial case) of sexually abusing two girls of 10 and 11 years of age, after being arrested on November 19, 2005.
In February 2015, he was jailed for 16 years for pedophilia in the 1970s.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ain't that a shame ? My tears fell like rain
Ain't that a shame ? You're the one to blame.
You broke my heart when you said we're part
Ain't that a shame ? My tears fell like rain
Ain't that a shame ? You're the one to blame.
Ain't that a shame ?
Ain't that a shame ?
Look out!
Farewell, goodbye, although I 'll cry
Ain't that a shame ? My tears fell like rain
Ain't that a shame ? You're the one to blame.
Boogie, babe!
Ain't that a shame ?
Ain't that a shame ?
You made me cry when you said goodbye
Ain't that a shame ? My tears fell like rain
Ain't that a shame ? You're the one to blame.
The lyrics of Gary Glitter's "Ain't That A Shame" describe the pain of heartbreak and the feelings of betrayal that come with it. The song's repeated refrain of "Ain't that a shame?" highlights the singer's disbelief that someone could cause so much emotional pain. The opening lines, "You made me cry when you said goodbye," set the tone for the rest of the song, as the singer recounts their heartbreak and tears. The lyrics then shift to a message of blame, with the line "You're the one to blame" repeated throughout the song.
The second verse echoes the first, with the line "You broke my heart when you said we're part" once again emphasizing the pain of a relationship ending. The song concludes with a farewell message, with the singer acknowledging that they will cry but ultimately placing the responsibility for the heartbreak on the other person.
