The Untold Story of Glenn Medeiros: What Happened Beyond the Fame?

[@4403323]

He chose happiness over fame and money. A very wise man and his music is still one of my favorites.

[@disdoncable]

Happiness, and "fame and money" are not mutually exclusive....

[@XaraK1]

​@@disdoncable 😂 ok bud

[@markfoggetti5081]

I had the pleasure of directing Glenn in a Music video, "Long and Lasting Love". One hundred percent class on and off camera always thinking of others first. As much as He looks happy performing I believe he's happiest now. School Principal praising God.

[@celestialtoystore]

Love that song. Seriously underrated but after Nothing's gonna change my love for you , even the best followup is going to be an anticlimax. Loved the video btw. Hope you're still creating.

[@rafdjen8941]

And so why don't you know that l decided to be replaced by a sosi to do something different and that l speak very well french. But else that l decided to introduce Elsa the niece of Marlène Jobert because my father asked me for. So l'll tell you my secret who's that with blue contact lenses and blond hair l became Leif Garret ... Have a good day and don't forget that l'm the hidden son of the french actor Jean Paul Belmondo to explain the why about Elsa ...

Wow!!! It’s my fav song of all time time amazin❤ my late fiancé proposed to me with this song.xxx💜

​@@Jade_kes you are lucky how is he ?

[@clubjetty]

I drummed for Glenn for many years. He’s one of the greatest nicest guys, so many great fun memories with him.!!

[@drfonta]

Had the pleasure of meeting Glenn last week in Hawaii. He's an absolutely wonderful human being.

[@pbohearn]

A man who chose wisely at a very young age, kept his integrity and pursued a very meaningful career in nurturing and educating the youth of Hawaii. He’s an example for everyone when you see that the road divides take time to think.

[@chrispbacon5313]

Yeah, some artists cling on with all their might. With disastrous consequences in the end.

[@2RiverPower]

Just met him at a Luau. His voice is still amazing. Wish I'd known his back story, especially since he eschewed fame to become an educator. Kind and humble man.

[@Wintersonatasonq]

Does he still sing? Loved this song but never really knew him as an artist.

[@Keliimaoli]

Proud of you Glenn for not selling your soul for fame. Got to meet Glenn in 1989 at Honolulu international airport, a very humble and kind Man.

[@mabocg]

His wonderful voice reminded me of those good old days. It's amazing that he went into the field of education. Not only the sound is great but the person as well.

[@jesustrust5081]

Even if people and the world change, only one will never change. Yeshua loves you as always, whether you are good or not 💗

[@cps282]

I still listen to "Nothing's gonna change my love for you."❤ Thanks to George Benson for creating a beautiful song, and thank you Glenn for your rendition 🫶🏾

[@UNCRLS]

Beautiful song!

[@jayr8811]

This man is a warrior to see the evil in the entertainment business at a young age. I wish more had his courage. ❤

[@TessAldin]

You did the right choice Glenn, congratulations. You're always the best 👌 👍 😍

[@CallardAndBowser]

Praise God for giving Glenn the strength and the will to walk away from the sinful environment of the music industry at that time.

[@zoraidita2022]

Amazing story. Glad he chose the light.

[@Olemiss123]

I came here because of his daughters TikTok account. The music industry is now I know of PDiddy!!! How young and vulnerable artists are treated.

[@Anita_G_]

Smart man! I admire any person brave enough to follows his values in life instead of following a bunch of cowards (people without self-respect)

[@daniellej7914]

Right on

[@Waynes-xt9gr]

ooh, I can name a few......(from celebrities, to those in media, entertainment, political, CEOs, and more.....this is only in Hawaii....) without our hard earned $$$$, to purchase CDs, attend concerts and events, some in the news media..........WAY TOO HIMAKAMAKA!!!!!.....I myself seen this happen, if you got the $$$, they will talk to you.....if you got the clout, they will come to you. As an asian american, I feel we still got discrimination in the islands.

[@LassadBenaziza-vf6xg]

Definitely ❤

[@donmaloy42]

Listening to Glenn's music will now carry a more profound emotional meaning for us all, knowing what a fantastic, uncompromising young man he was.

[@marcusvalera5406]

This guy was great. Also his music was part of my teenage days. Lots of memories....Thanks Mr. Medeiros.

[@doctorfrankenstein6272]

Handsome, smart, beautiful, intelligent man. Never doubt Glenn, you did exactly the right thing! May God bless you & your family and may all of you continue down God's chosen path, Amen.

[@christinaalviedo579]

Thank you for this information I never have known the reason why he abandoned the music industry! I love her sense of dignity he stood for his beliefs and went on the right path of life! God bless his beautiful soul!🙏♥️🙏

[@Waynes-xt9gr]

with that industry, you can do only so much..........working for a company or institution, you have benefits to rely on (medical, dental, drug, vision, etc)......working in the entertainment industry, you DONT HAVE JACK cuz you are SOLO.....you pay your own DAMN bill which can be $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

[@simplyjesse9088]

I incidentally found him because of Lonely Won’t Leave Me Alone. And found his voice so beautiful.

[@erwins8381]

Just saw his mv for Nothing’s gonna change and i googled him. Got so curious of his story and how he didn’t give in on what it takes to be really famous. I admire how he sticks to his principles. Very rare for someone who was really famous and opted for a simple more meaningful life

[@htan-alpha]

Blessed is the man who walks in righteousness.

[@christinafriesen1216]

Glenns voice was PERFECTION !!! "Nothings gonna change my love for you" will always be 1 of a handful of songs that just brings my soul peace & happiness. May God continue to bless Glenn!! He chose morality, dignity & grace over fame & fortune. You just don't hear of that too often. That is a lesson in itself directly from the teacher.

[@merlindadandayo797]

He is perfectly good looking man and the the voice just wow...Good story

[@ericvillanueva754]

Beautiful story of Success! Long live and God bless.Mr.Glen Madeiros.❤

Good for him! Still enjoy that all time favorite! God bless you! ❤😊

[@starpower3537]

He has chosen the righteous path.... His soul is still intact❤

[@HopeinMedia]

After hearing this, now I'm not only a fan of him but having a respect for him for what he stood up for and went ahead.

[@RocStarr913]

There’s a reason he didn’t last though. His music wasn’t that great ultimately.

[@santiagonunez8168]

I was never a fan of his music but remember his music was big for a while growing up. I’m glad to see he recognized what was important and didn’t compromise himself. I’m especially proud to see what he’s accomplished in his life. Being a teacher is one of the most respectful occupations a person can become. Wishing him much success!!

[@hendreisoriaga7991]

I spoke to one customer who's name is Ronald Madeiros. I asked him if he was related to Glen. He said his grand dad came from Hawaii but he doesn't know if he's related.

Wonderful song takes me back to memories of my teenage years

[@joeb5578]

I really love this song. I memorized the words and remember them today. The 80's were great years for me. It's good to see you made some wise decisions to avoid the unknown path you were doomed to follow. You're among the few who were able to change. And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them. Isaiah 42:16 🙏

[@patriciac5657]

Great to hear this about him,good that he made the right choise

[@nolanhill29]

That’s awesome! He did a lot of things right and made a lot of right decisions. He had a good time recording and performing and then chose to go back to his home. So admirable!

Nothing's gonna change my love for you est la première chanson que j'ai écouté dans ma première cassette avec ma première radio-cassette.Voilà pourquoi ca m'a marqué pour toujours et c'etait un chef-d'œuvre.Long and lasting love et un roman d'amitié m'ont été offertes par une cousine(en cassette) et mes amis l'ont plusieurs fois reclamées afin de faire des enregistrements.C'edt à partir de "roman d'amitié" que j'ai découvert Elsa.Vous avez pris le temps de vous retirer de l'industrie de la musique à temps pour ne pas être corrompu et denaturé;vous avez les pieds sur terre et c'est beau à voir cette reconversion.Bon vent à vous!

It was good to see this story. I bought this talented singer's albums and played him on the radio. A couple of my other favorites of his not heard here were "A Long And Lasting Love" and "Me-You=Blue" (me minus you equals blue). Aspects of the music industry turned seriously unappealing for the talented Tonga family group The Jets, too.

I remember how popular he was in Hawaii in 1988 when I lived there. I’ve always wondered what ever happened to him. I didn’t realize he was this successful today. This is what we call real happiness and success.

[@stevedolesch9241]

Surprise! Born in Hawai'i. The name Medeiros sounds more Portuugese than Hawai'ian. I'm happy and yes, proud of him for keeping his life as straight as he could.. A bg ALOHA, Glen and all Native Hawai'ians who are struggling rightt now.

[@braddahjerry]

Medeiros does come from a Portuguese family. A lot of Portuguese families did migrate over to Hawaii during the plantation days

Lots of Portuguese in Hawaii. Hawaii is so mixed.
