And so he should have - because the song is much bigger than the singer.A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z #Īlbum: Gary Glitter's Gangshow: The Gang, The Band, The Leader The still-revered Phil Spector, due for a murder retrial at the end of next month, attacked the demonisation of Ike at his funeral. He played on arguably the first rock’n’roll song, Rocket 88, and laid down some of the 60s most scorching soul hits, but he was universally reviled after Tina Turner’s Oprah-backed revelations of brutality. ![]() Wifebeater Ike Turner, however, was never rehabilitated in the eyes of the public, despite being a vital part of music history. Lest we forget, Ozzy Osbourne once tried to kill Sharon and murdered his pets before reality TV turned him into a cuddly icon. Pete Townshend has only recently been taken off the sex offenders register, but who would dare censor The Who? Joe Meek murdered his landlady, yet his pioneering genius is increasingly celebrated. (The same can’t be said about King’s song about Harold Shipman.) Jonathan King, who is taking his fight to clear his name to the European Court of Human Rights after being convicted of sexual assaults on boys, can claim more than 23,000 (free) downloads of his “ComDoc satire” Vile Pervert: The Musical, and while only the insane would want to champion Everyone’s Gone To The Moon or the Ivor Novello-winning Una Paloma Blanca, there was no controversy when Fosters used his 1969 hit Let It All Hang Out in a two-year-long ad campaign. 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. ![]() It seems the masses are so repulsed by Gary Glitter that his name isn’t even evoked in Cockney rhyming slang any more, but as Nerdelicious5 commented on a (highly rated) YouTube of Do You Wanna Touch Me: “I don’t wanna hear what the dude did 30 years later, I’m just listening to the song!” Gary Glitter (born Paul Francis Gadd, in Banbury, Oxfordshire) is a rock & pop singer who came to prominence in the glam rock era of the early 1970s. In either incarnation, Rock n Roll is the definitive Gary Glitter collection. Bill Drummond would have had some gall if he’d made Doctorin’ The Tardis now. In 1998, Rhino Records reissued Rock and Roll: Gary Glitters Greatest Hits with artwork that wasnt quite as silly as its original incarnation, with the intention of snagging sports fans who hold 'Rock & Roll, Pt. But, as the KLF were aware, Rock and Roll parts 1 and 2 was a rhythm track well worth resurrecting. Should DJ Raymond Paul Dobson have apologised, as he did, for playing one of the finest glam-stomp tracks ever recorded? Should Rock FM 98.5 be forced to cease its “despicable” promotion of the performer’s music? I think not.Ī reporter I know who covered the original Glitter/Gadd paedophile trial once told me he will never get over witnessing the horrific child porn evidence shown to Bristol Crown Court - and hearing Glitter’s inane chants or seeing his ridiculous spangled former self is enough to provoke revulsion. Though singer Paul Gadd was actually nearing the end of a stretch in a Vietnamese jail for molesting two underage girls at the time, it was his 1973 top 10 hit Hello, Hello I’m Back Again that caused such offence.
