An appropriate upload to mark the sad passing of the founder of The Glitter Band- John Rossall,what a loss to the music world,he left behind a great legacy
This brings back memories. I was in 4th form in high school in 1974 and loved the Glitter Band. Their sound was amazing. I still love their songs. Unfortunately I also loved Gary Glitter too. Till his sick and sordid private life was revealed. While I detest Glitter for what he did I still love his music. It was a big part of my teenage years at age 15/16.
Loved this group had a blue glitter drum kit used to put my mum and dads heads away blasting there records thinking I was one of the the band members what great memories
"Wow", incredible version !! Like the enormous Reverb by their voices and the handclapping - Background ..Further the very special guitar sounds and of course. the Saxophones and the double drums....perfect Glamrock- Hit 👍 🎤 🎸🎸🎷🎷 🥁🥁 ❤
Garry F: I happened to meet a friend in town who told me John had died. I just burst into tears. It's heartbreaking for me to see these irreplaceable musicians leave. John Rossall Thank you for The Music. Rest In Peace. Kate 😢😢💕💕
Lily bless you, i totally agree with you, and like you i detest the bloke but i love the music i grew up with this 14 at the time, brilliant sound from a brilliant group, happy memories and PS Lily is my daughter's name❤
No doubt in my mind Gerry Shepard had a way better voice than Gary Glitter,I just don't get why they were 'shackled' with him,he was a minger,even back in the day!!
Saw them live in hull. My ears were ringing for days afterwards. Awesome. Wasn't much into glam rock at the time, tamla and northern soul my music, but appreciate it more now looking back.
@@andymatthews7617 Here in New Zealand,The Glitter Band still gets a play on the radio,just a matter of what station you manage to catch,and just this very week,driving to work I heard GG with "I Love You Love Me Love",something I never thought I would hear on radio again. His music still gets played at sporting events around the country,and is still used as incidental music on TV sports shows here.
@@andymatthews7617 it's really only the UK that has that stigma about GGs music,and it's unfortunate for his UK fans,but the UK press will never let it go,he was the scapegoat for them,and took the brunt of a major witch hunt,but at the end of the day,it should be about the music - Michael Jackson still gets his music played,as do many other artists alleged of the same wrong doing.
There were and still are hundreds of bands/artists who use 2 drummers - The Glitter Band GG were probably the most famous of the glam acts to use 2 drummers,but Wizzard and Showaddywaddy used 2 drummers,as did T.Rex at one stage.
I'm so glad I was a kid in the 70s fabtastic
Me too 😊
Snap
Love the Glitter Band sound.. love the double drummers! Fabulous
The sax ain’t too bad either 😊
Me too...Loved the double sound
We were lucky to have lived through these times.

My god I loved this as a kid back in the day great memories
Andy cole : Me too ! Even when i was a 7 year old child !!!

Shame they struggled to lose the shadow of their front man.

It sounds like Mike Leander had a lot to do with the production of these tracks too.
@@tezzrterry7485 Yes i know, thank you !!

I just burst into tears.
It's heartbreaking for me to see these irreplaceable musicians leave.
John Rossall Thank you for The Music.
Rest In Peace.
Kate 😢😢💕💕
We all knew it was coming Kate but it was still a shock when it happened....It's really sad
..unvorgettable sleepless nights with this music at that time...legendary..
loved the Glitterband especially Pete Phipps
Loved the Glitter Band, especially Gerry
Gerry is a great Frontman
Maybe he would have loved you, too...
The iconic sound came the syncopated drumming
Wow,that had never occurred to me! lololol
Just been listening to Duran Duran's 'Planet Earth' and wondered where I had heard that beat before. LOL.
Memories of tech school in the 70s
Second favourite after Lets Get Together Again ❤
Yes, but don't forget "Just for you" ! ❤
Mmmm not so sure about this one sorry
The greatest sound in pop.....
The Sound of my early Childhood ❤
The greatest glam rock bands ever
sweet were my favorite these guys were in there too
Totally agree with you and i like the Band called " Hello " too....Sounds very similar somethimes !
Loved it back then love it now - great song
Gerry Shephard was my hero growing up in the 70s. Even built a ( really bad) star guitar!
😂
Wow thank you so much for this Garry, much appreciated.
School Days The Best Times ✌️💯
Only just discovered The Glitter Band thanks to my sister...love them!!

Rip john ŕossall
The Glitter Band had two drummers. Yes Kids, TWO drummers.
Absolutely loved Peter Phipps, thought he was so cool with his bleached bits at the end of his hair and a underrated drummer too.
Pete Gill later played in Motorhead.
Lata 70- te magia glam rocka !
The Glitterband with the exception of John Rossall continued to be friends with Gary Glitter right up until 1999.
No doubt in my mind Gerry Shepard had a way better voice than Gary Glitter,I just don't get why they were 'shackled' with him,he was a minger,even back in the day!!
it was all about the image not the talent - even worse now
Just been listening to Uprising by MUSE and wondered where I heard that beat and the repeated 'Hey' chants before. LOL.
I know exactly what you mean
Make me remember my first real girlfriend and how i used to sing it too her
Great lead vocal
You can't beat two drummers in a group, copied by Adam & the Ants a few years later...
Allman Brothers did it first Phil Collins also did it successfully too - sounds huge still
The Doobie Bros
@@anthem3560 James Brown did it too
Saw them live in hull. My ears were ringing for days afterwards. Awesome. Wasn't much into glam rock at the time, tamla and northern soul my music, but appreciate it more now looking back.
Wizzard too
Fuckin' Rock on! 😎
I loved the Glitter Band my favourite is John
🥳💃👍❤💐
Ostin tämän bändin kasetin 70:luvulla ja yllätyin kuinka heidän musiikki olikin parempaa kuin ..en sano kenen kanssa:-))
Adam and the glitters
Check out the cover by Ireland's OUTCASTS (1982)...
Love it. Is this an early version? seems a bit slower! Rock On!
It's the original 7" mix,which differs slightly from the more common album version,which also had the pitch (speed) adjusted
A shame that one bad apple spoilt the bunch.
Disgraceful radio stations wont play their music, tarnished by a certain gg.

That's true, but dj's should see a bigger picture, and the general public to.

@@robhaunui3343 you summed it up perfectly, thankyou for your comment.

KINDERSCHÄNDER😊
Were the Glitter Band the only ones to have two drummers?

A.C.E.
Could I possibly email you?
Much prefer the Shock version in 1981
T.REX Sevent Dav Adventists?
Who has the most hairspray on? Lol
