As a guy who loves 1980s music , I'm always curious to know what happened to some of the artists who sang songs I loved. Then, they seemed to fade out. Recently, I was listening to soft hits no Heartbeat FM Radio, and they played Glenn Medeiros. If you enjoyed 80s music, you may remember this teenager (at the time) who had several very popular and catchy hits. One of my favorites was his song 'Nothing's Gonna Change My Love for You.' I found an article from October 2019 that tells you where he is today. Read on!
