Obvious exaggeration of his importance but I wouldn't be so sure he didn't score a #1 in the UK with Gillan. They were pretty big playing the same venues as Priest, Motörhead or Lizzy.

Glory Road hit # 2, Future Shock # 3...

According to https://www.officialcharts.com/artist/18563/gillan/

Of course, these were both with Bernie Tormé on guitar...


As for Gers albums, Double Trouble hit # 12 and Magic 17.
