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.

The opening line of Gary Glitter's "Hello Hello I'm Back Again" is a triumphant announcement from the artist that he has returned. The song's lyrics speak to a lover or former lover who has missed him while he was gone. The track is upbeat, with a catchy melody that reflects the singer's joy at being reunited with his loved one. The song's first verse sees Gary questioning his lover’s loyalty while he was away, asking if she missed him or if there was another man who replaced him. The singer is asking whether his lover remained faithful and if she was still thinking about him all the time.
The chorus of the song, which repeats the catchy greeting, "Hello Hello," is a celebration of the singer's return. It speaks to how much he missed his loved one and how much he wants to be with her. In the second verse, he asks whether his lover dreams about him and if she wants him back in her life. He reminds her of the beautiful moments they shared before he left and the memories that they created. The final verse of the song reiterates the same questions asked earlier in the song, and the chorus repeats once more, emphasizing the joy of the singer's return.

His style was unique. Nothing like Jagger nor Bowie just Gary Glitter being his happy self on stage. What a charisma, and what a good song. For me the best of his repertoire.

The way Mike Leander put the bass under the main drum patterns in the verses in GG’s songs was genius and easy to miss.
