I'm the Leader of the Gang (I Am!) by Gary Glitter was a UK number 1 hit on Saturday, July 28, 1973 spending 4 week(s) at the top of the UK charts. The song is a glam rock anthem typical of Glitter's early 1970s output, based on a simple mid-tempo rhythm (the so-called "Glitter Stomp") and loud chanted backing vocals such as "Hey!" and "Come on, come on!". Glitter had a backing band, the Glitter Band, but with the exception of saxophonists Harvey Ellison and John Rossall, they did not participate in his recording sessions, and precisely who else, if anyone, helped Glitter and producer/co-writer Mike Leander in the studio remains unknown. The song became a concert favourite with the crowd chanting the "Come on, come on!" refrain before Glitter took to the stage.
