Gary Glitter (real name Paul Gadd) was at the forefront of 'Glam Rock' (big 
hair, 6 inch platform shoes, silver spangly clothes etc.) which was big in 
Britain during the mid-seventies, probably a bit before your time. Groups like 
Queen, Slade etc also came through during this era. Glitter had a number of big 
hits like 'Come On, Come On', 'Rock and Roll Part 2', and has subsequently 
spent the last 20 years milking them to death. To give the man credit, his 
shows are normally great for a sing-a-long.

As for your comments about Roger, I'd be more than happy to look like he 
does when I'm 52 !
