Gary Glitter (born Paul Francis Gadd, May 8, 1944 in Banbury, Oxfordshire) … Read Full Bio ↴Gary Glitter (born Paul Francis Gadd, May 8, 1944 in Banbury, Oxfordshire) is a rock & pop singer who came to prominence in the glam rock era of the early 1970s. His reputation was greatly tarnished and his popularity quickly declined following a child pornography conviction, although he continued to record and release new work until his arrest and conviction on child abuse charges in 2006.

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.

There's a place I know,
Where the kids all go,
Put our best drag on,
Party all night long,

There's a welcome at the door,
Once your in get on the floor,
Just the scene you're looking for,

I been there a million times or more,

Come On Come In Get On,

Yeah; Yeah; Yeah; Come In Come On Come On Get On,
Rock an'

Rock an' roll you all,
People will to wall,
Let your high heels down,
Jump around and around,

People comes from miles and miles,
Just to boogie for a while
Don't it make you wanna smile,
The kind a noise that drive the neighbor wild,

Come In Come On Come In Come On Get On,

Tribal Drums and Stomping Mayhem. If anyone brings a record out like this, then they are recreating the True Glitter Sound.

THE authentic Glitter sound. I've always worshipped it, and will continue to do so.The Leader rules and lame is as beautiful as ever. Gary is most certainly the number one in the gang and I just long to touch him.
