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 Vลฉng Tร u 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.

Didn't I, Didn't I, Didn't I
Didn't I do, Didn't I do,
Didn't I, Didn't I, Didn't I
Here I stand a helpless man in trouble
How could you just walk right out on me?
I just want an answer to my questions don't cha see,
Didn't I do, Wasn't I good,
Didn't I do, Wasn't I good,
Didn't I do it right?
Wasn't good last night?
Didn't I do, Didn't I do
Didn't I do it ,
Didn't I do it right? Right?
Night after Night, Didn' I do it right?
All I want's a little information
Give me something for my peace of mind;
There must be a simple explanation
How can anybody throw away a love like mine:
Maybe you don't see what you require
Don't my kind of action turn you on;
Baby can I set your heart afire?
Why don't you tell me exactly just where I went wrong.
The lyrics of Gary Glitter's song "Didn"t I Do It Right?" depicts a man who is in a state of bewilderment and heartbreak due to his partner leaving him. In the first verse, the singer expresses his perplexity over his partner's sudden departure, as he believed he had done everything right. He questions her decision to leave him, and seeks answers to his questions in the chorus. He repeats the line "Didn't I do, Wasn't I good, Didn't I do it right?", implying that he believes he has done everything right.
In the second verse, the singer pleads with his partner for information about her departure, desperately seeking closure for his broken heart. He believes that there must be a simple explanation for her departure, and desperately wants to know what he did wrong. The final few lines of the song suggest that the singer is still in love with his partner and would do anything to win her back.
