He did exist. He was a huge star at that time and was loved by millions, including me,. I don't excuse in any way, anything he's done outwith entertaining us as a pop icon of the Glitter period. Thanks for not being afraid to post! You've confirmed I didn't imagine the whole thing!
Thanks for the Memories. I was 13yr old. Bought this for my 1st Girlfriend as a Gift. Her big Sister stole it & played it non-stop. What a Showman. Dance to the Music!!
Gary Glitter was huge in those days. He was the king of top of the pops for sure. This song was his showstopper. Straight to number one. Even though he is now reviled, he went on to influence many other musicians. Tell me you don't see a little bit of Gary Glitter in Freddie Mercury of Queen the way he performs, and many other front men of successful rock bands.
I was 14 when this came out ... I totally loved him ... I still love his music but what he has done sickens me ... I still play his music on full volume .... when no ones around
Redblade I think my neighbours can tell what mood I’m in by how loud my music is and what I’m playing but I do play his music quieter than my other music choices until I’m sure they are all out of the way
Haven't heard this for over 40 years, forgot just how big Gary Glitter was in the 1970's! Be nice to see him do one of his sell-out Christmas concerts again soon, it's not really Christmas without one!
The first time I ever saw him was this clip, first single I ever bought, I thought I was buying 'Leader Of The Gang' great memories and got me started in the love of rock n roll. So sad how his career ended up. Thanks for posting it.
You seem to be a G.G fan ! if you are and if you have the GG book he wrote years ago where he was talking about fans he met in Paris in 78 before he left Europe for Australia so i'm one of them and i still have some photos with him and the others Fans ! He was nice with us and absolutly CORRECT in his attitude !
I've still got my records of him and the glitter band someone was looking though them and asked why I still had his I said they are mine and that was it !! The friend was and still is a sheep in society !!
Well he didnt hurt as many kids as Michael Jackson and was a lot more talented. All his fans are really wacky. They just cant accept it. Glad he is nothing to me.
The guy may have been a sleaze but he was one hell of a performer I used to always wait for the next Gary Glitters next single with anticipation when I was a kid.
I enjoy the good old days they even found David bowies past secretes but who gives a shit drugs will mess your mind up smoking weed can have it's benifits but again if you smoke it all the fucking time it's Gona fuck your life up so rip to all the best legend singers if only we could come up with a cure for aids quickly and then Freddy mercury would still be alive I guess that's life tho and it sucks it's certainly hitting Brian May quite badly he is still kicking and he is trying to get peaple to enjoy the great music he did
I find it virtually impossible to separate the music from the man, which is especially difficult since i work in radio. I would love to play him but cannot for obvious reasons. He was my glam rock idol and we used to see his Glitter Roadshow every Christmas as it was the best pantomime on the circuit. But, how things turned out.......eek.....
It is not right to watermark other people's work. It also makes you look like an idiot. Why don't you just use a small graphical link in the corner? (Known as a screen dog.) The recording is not 50 years old yet anyway, so you are violating copyright law.
Sounds like you don't care what he did. he is a foul disgusting nonce. If I saw Gadd within 100 meters of me I would gouge his eyes out. FKTS MOT ALAW WACCOE JIMMY 2 TIMES 2 TIMES bums TIMMY MUMP
some one as to forgive this cretin of a bloke ,my friend is a black belt he could bounce this scum bag round all the streets in your area ,,,,,,, hows about that then ?
Even if Michael Jackson was pedo still tho we are Children of the world lol we all make mistakes but who makes the fucking laws lol anyway I think it's peaple wanting money from these rich peaple
Loads of that shit in show land wacko jacko etc I lke words music good tunes beats etc other wise who could we listen to bro and girls enjoy life cos is short peps

I remember going to buy this single on a Saturday morning in the local record shop with my mother

utter nonsense
LMAO!... WHAT???.. Influenced precisely ZERO (of course)
I was 14 when this came out ... I totally loved him ... I still love his music but what he has done sickens me ... I still play his music on full volume .... when no ones around
Redblade not alert anyone ... I wouldnt be very popular ... I mean really when no one is around 😊
Donald Mackay well I guess I must be simple then ... it was the era of glam rock and I loved it
Redblade I think my neighbours can tell what mood I’m in by how loud my music is and what I’m playing but I do play his music quieter than my other music choices until I’m sure they are all out of the way
So sad that you have to do that he made some great music and I for one will continue to enjoy it irrespective of what anybody else says ❤️
@Donald Mackay Such drivel meaning anything that you do not like? Stupid idiot!!
Gary glitter the glam rock icon, loved listening in the day, still play his music to this day. Superb artist.
I loved this guy back in the day!!
His music will always get people up on the dance floor!
He and the glitter band were brilliant and I am not going to give up listening to there music LEADERRR 👍
I admit i`m watching this vid with guilt.
Thanks...I rememberer watching this live with great expectation..he was my hero back then
These TOTP opening titles were fantastic.
Its all about the music, and nothing else 70s legend!
Amazing performer!
Haven't heard this for over 40 years, forgot just how big Gary Glitter was in the 1970's! Be nice to see him do one of his sell-out Christmas concerts again soon, it's not really Christmas without one!
It's medication time.
The bloody djs of this country should be made to play his music Gary and the band sang some fantastic music ❤️❤️
That will never happen, of course, and it is all his own doing. He will be lucky if he doesn't get himself killed now that he is out of prison.
@@ValleyoftheRogue well, he went back in. He lasted a month before he got into trouble again
The first time I ever saw him was this clip, first single I ever bought, I thought I was buying 'Leader Of The Gang' great memories and got me started in the love of rock n roll. So sad how his career ended up. Thanks for posting it.
Always keep playing his music utube lots of people got great pleasure from it at the time and still do ❤️LEADERRR
Am totally stoked to see that ancient TOTP intro again - thank you Gaz. :)
You seem to be a G.G fan ! if you are and if you have the GG book he wrote years ago where he was talking about fans he met in Paris in 78 before he left Europe for Australia so i'm one of them and i still have some photos with him and the others Fans !

Dont like how he turned out but at the end of the day he was a big part of the 70s glam rock great songs great Entertainer Good times 🎼🎼🎼🎼🎤👍
Absolutely A BIG PART ❤️

My youth, I was nineteen years young and in a big love. 👍

Great song
Love you very much beautiful boy and beautiful chest and we keep on rock music 💕💕🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Fantastic song, what a great showman. Loved him then
Well done the person who found this and put it on Google for us to enjoy ❤️❤️
As an apprentice in '73 I remember loads of women on the shop floor had posters up of this guy. Bizarre why he turned out the way he did.
The Glitter band were a great Band
It's. medication time.
Angel face
Loved his music when i was a kid.....Shame he turned out to the way he did
That so right .But not him the great sounds i loved it to such a let down for he s massive fan base
Thank you, thank you, thank you....... Thank you Gaz for another golden nugget. Great stuff. What a way to start the weekend !!
Great tune - Thanks
Best TOTP theme of them all !
gingerladyaubern
Thin lizzys yellow peril was by far the best opener on TTP. Ginger doesn’t it make u feel just a little bit old watchin all these
when I was 10 to 13 GG was my hero...I definitely wanted to be in his gang at that age
Saw Gary and the band at Dreamland Margate that year. Amazing show:::::::::::
Really had the makeup up a few notches John
This was the first single I bought. I love him so much ❤
ii'm sorry he was my hero at school and i did a talk on him in my english class and got 17/20! 1976
Good for you girl 👧
Well he didnt hurt as many kids as Michael Jackson and was a lot more talented. All his fans are really wacky. They just cant accept it. Glad he is nothing to me.
That's great Elaine!
Well done.
@@johnnymfan5065 Michael Jackson was innocent
Great stuff, very much appreciated. Keep 'em coming!
brilliant !
If you're the real Ben Dover.......do you fancy swapping jobs? Ain't had a shag in ages.
Good ole Gary....
AT HIS BEST !
this song was MASSIVE at the time
The guy may have been a sleaze but he was one hell of a performer I used to always wait for the next Gary Glitters next single with anticipation when I was a kid.
Same here
I was 6 when I saw this on the tv
Awesome son thanks for uploading it!
I'd still go and see a gig if his if I got the chance again.
Wonderful stuff, great song, I don't care about anything else tbh, he was a great entertainer for the 70s
You don’t care he abused children. really what kind of a person are you
sick bastard
To bloody right 👍👍LEADERRR
U wuld if it happened to u or someone u loved u knobhead
The thing about all Gary Glitter songs is that while there's like 12 guys on stage, it always sounds like only 2 of them are playing at any time.
Oh Gaz, in these ridiculous times you know you should have uploaded the PRICELESS intro to this classic!
Sheer beauty!
god i remember this from the time excellent
I enjoy the good old days they even found David bowies past secretes but who gives a shit drugs will mess your mind up smoking weed can have it's benifits but again if you smoke it all the fucking time it's Gona fuck your life up so rip to all the best legend singers if only we could come up with a cure for aids quickly and then Freddy mercury would still be alive I guess that's life tho and it sucks it's certainly hitting Brian May quite badly he is still kicking and he is trying to get peaple to enjoy the great music he did
yOU DO A GREAT JOB for Gary's fans !
Sinceramente espectacular Gary 🍾🥂🎤🎧🎼🎸🎸🎸🎸 🌶
A pity for the way it ended he was a huge star
I find it virtually impossible to separate the music from the man, which is especially difficult since i work in radio. I would love to play him but cannot for obvious reasons. He was my glam rock idol and we used to see his Glitter Roadshow every Christmas as it was the best pantomime on the circuit. But, how things turned out.......eek.....
Just read his autobiography, Leader , Interesting life well written, GG was as big as it gets but like all good things........
I remember hearing this at the disco, everyone just waved their hands from side to side. It wasn’t a song you could dance to.
Why the name of the uploader all the way through spoiling it? It's not as if you own copyright to this BBC material
the leader. GG. gary glitter

my first musical love
ich liebe diesen Song, diese Gruppe ist so genial.
great showman
Love Love Love. 💜💜💜💜⚘⚘⚘⚘🌠🌠🌠🤗🤗🤗🤗
I was going to but the quality goes a bit funny so I thought i'd just post the performance. Hope you enjoyed it :D
How many of the parents that put their kids in harms way were arrested?
Great performance.. And what ever was going off they were innocent times... People had less but we're far more content......
First single I bought. On the Bell label...73
Cheers Gaz! :)
great singer nothing do with people what he did nice video of j u
Sounds like you don't care what he did. he is a foul disgusting nonce. If I saw Gadd within 100 meters of me I would gouge his eyes out.
FKTS MOT ALAW WACCOE JIMMY 2 TIMES 2 TIMES bums TIMMY MUMP
Why was it wiped?
Well done GAZ 👍👍👍

Where did you get this wiped copy from, and do you have anymore from that era, especially T.Rex which as i understand a lot were wiped by the BBC?

This track is the bomb.
Pity he turned out to be such a pervert!

Why Was that wiped? it wasn't crude, i never liked gary but i loved the glitter band they were so lovely X
Two legends, Gary and Jimmy.
+John Smith Jimmy was a CUNT, Gary was UNLUCKY...
john smith it will soon be bonfire night gary would burn nicely ,,,
This has a big memory for me at the time, I like the song as well....should we feel guilty for listening to it?
Good syrup
I love Garry Glitter he is fit I love this song
My brother will be out of the Nick soon. Look out for tour dates!
some one as to forgive this cretin of a bloke ,my friend is a black belt he could bounce this scum bag round all the streets in your area ,,,,,,, hows about that then ?
Wonder who uploaded it 🙄
Does anyone know who uploaded this?
my hero
No chance you are wanting to upload the complete episode here possibly??
how wonderful how the Legend is banned off tv but tony blair shown all the time...
I loved this song, it was the only Gary glitter record I bought, yes I could punch him in the face, for what he'd done, but this song was brilliant
Great Rocker,fantastic music, no good people
