Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Gary Glitter. By Songfacts®.

In the mid-'70s, Glitter bedazzled crowds with a primal version of Glam Rock. Unlike David Bowie and T. Rex, he dumbed down the lyrics and cranked up the volume with songs that were essentially group chants. His first single, Rock And Roll Part 2, was his most successful. Released in 1972, it went to #2 in the UK and #7 in the US, but never really went away, as the repeated "hey!" chant became a huge crowd pleaser at sporting events.

Before he was Gary Glitter, he was Paul Gadd (his birth name), and then Paul Raven, the name he performed under before his spangly transformation.

He was the audience warm-up act on the British TV series Ready Steady Go!, where he met the producer Mike Leander, who helped him write songs and develop the Gary Glitter persona.
