Part One of a Series of Unexpected Pop Tunes You Never Thought I'd Like and Why. - I'm always kind of torn about the whole Gary Glitter thing. Yes the man is horrific and his crimes are completely abhorrent. Lets get that clear from the off. However, I used to love Gary Glitter when I was growing up. Everyone did. What particularly galls me about the situation is that Gary Glitter was the front man for a far greater talent: Mike Leander ,who wrote and produced all of Glitter's hits during hit run as King of Pop. That arsehole has completely sullied Mike Leander's reputation. Rachel Stevens 'Some Girls' is essentially an homage to the glam/glitterbeat era. it's a Glitter/Leander tune I can listen to without being angered by Glitter. Mike Leander:legend.
