Silver Star is the fourth studio album by the English glam rock singer Gary Glitter, released on 5 April 1977 by Arista Records. The album saw the return of Mike Leander as producer and co-writer, after being absent from Glitter's previous studio album G. G. The album contained three hit singles, "You Belong to Me", "It Takes All Night Long", and "A Little Boogie Woogie in the Back of My Mind". Other selections include Gary's version of "Rock and 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 favourites "Haven't I Seen You Somewhere Before?" and "Oh What a Fool I Have Been". The album fused glam rock, rock and roll and disco, and was designed to expand Glitter's fan base, especially in the United States, where he had a top 10 hit with "Rock and Roll" several years previously but a country where he had done a lot worse commercially compared to other countries. Sales of Silver Star were disappointing and it failed to chart inside the all-important Top 50 on either side of the Atlantic.
