Silver Star (album)


Silver Star is Gary Glitter's fourth studio album, released in 1977.
It contained three hit singles, "It Takes All Night Long", "You Belong to Me", and "A Little Boogie Woogie in the Back of My Mind".
Other selections include Gary's version of "Rock 'N' Roll ", a rock number "Summertime Blues Out", the good time boogie track "Heartbreaking Blue Eyed Boy", a tribute to the world's entertainment capital, "Hooked on Hollywood", as well as the fan favourite "Oh What a Fool I Have Been".
The album fused rock n' roll and disco and was designed to expand Glitter's fan base, especially in the United States, where he had hit with "Rock and Roll" several years previously. However, sales were disappointing and it failed to chart inside the all important Top 50 on either side of the Atlantic. Nevertheless, it went on to become a classic amongst his loyal fan base and was even voted the number one album of his career by his fan club in 1996.
