Still in his mid-teens, the young Paul Gadd performed at the legendary 2 I's Coffee Bar in London's Soho district, moving onto the Laconda and the Safari clubs before his repertoire of rock & roll classics and sweetly executed ballads brought him to the attention of Robert Hartford Davis, a small-time movie producer looking to break into the music industry. scene in 1972, although he had been touring and recording for over a decade beforehand. Musically, visually, and emotionally, he transcended so many barriers that even categorizing him as a rock & roller seems somehow stingy. And, if it is at all oxymoronic that the King of British Glam should be responsible for one of the national anthems of American Football, then that is simply further testament of what made Gary glitter so brightly. The hits which catapulted him to fame in the early '70s, the anthemic 'Rock and Roll' of course, but also the likes of 'I'm the Leader of the Gang,' 'Do You Wanna Touch Me,' and 'I Love You Love Me Love,' still have the capacity to stir an audience - as 'Rock and Roll' itself proves, every time it airs at a major sporting event in the U.S. Although the late '90s apparently saw the end of Gary Glitter's career, following his conviction for sexual offenses, there is no doubting that for a full 25 years before that tragic denouement, Glitter ranked among Britain's best-loved performers of all time.
