Glenn Medeiros

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Glenn Alan Medeiros (born June 24, 1970) is a singer and songwriter of Portuguese ancestry from the state of Hawai'i. From humble beginnings performing on a tour bus on the island of Kauai, Medeiros's musical career soared. He is best known for his rendition of George Benson's "Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You," which was #12 on the Billboard Hot 100 of 1987 and #1 in the UK as well as in France and Germany (one of his three worldwide #1 hit singles). He also scored a 1990 United States #1 hit duet with Bobby Brown entitled "She Ain't Worth It" and followed it up with another hit duet hit with Ray Parker, Jr. (#32) "All I'm Missing Is You".

His British chart success was brought to an abrupt end following a disastrous appearance on the TV show Juke Box Jury. Unbeknown to the show's panellists, who gave his single a unanimously scathing review, he appeared at the end of the programme as the regular "mystery guest". To this day he still blames his manager for accepting the booking and bringing about the death of his career in the UK.

Today, Medeiros performs at the Hale Koa Hotel in Waikiki, and also teaches music at St. Joseph's School in Waipahu, and teaches 5th grade at Island Pacific Academy in Kapolei.
