Gary Glitter, born Paul Francis Gadd, is an English glam rock singer and songwriter popular in the 1970s. Known for his extreme glam image, powerful vocals and infectious beats, Glitter's music has often been characterized by repetitive, anthemic choruses. His most influential works include hit singles like "Rock and Roll, Parts 1 and 2", "I'm the Leader of the Gang (I Am)", and "Hello, Hello, I'm Back Again". Despite his significant impact on the glam rock genre, Glitter's musical legacy is overshadowed by his later legal issues and convictions.
