Taking it back to 1990 with Glenn Medeiros’ “All I’m Missing Is You,” if you were a fan of late-’80s and early-’90s pop, this song was one of those underrated gems that deserved a lot more love. The melody was pure radio gold, and Glenn’s unmistakable voice made everything feel heartfelt and sincere.
What always fascinated me about Glenn is that he wasn’t a typical pop star. Born and raised in Hawaii, he first captured attention as a teenager after winning a local talent competition with “Nothing’s Gonna Change My Love for You.” That Hawaiian kid with the big voice went on to become an international sensation, scoring hits around the world and even landing a No. 1 hit with Bobby Brown on “She Ain’t Worth It.”
But unlike many artists who spend their lives chasing the spotlight, Glenn followed a different path. After his music career slowed down, he pursued his longtime dream of becoming an educator. He earned advanced degrees in education and eventually became a school administrator in Hawaii, later serving as president and head of Honolulu’s Saint Louis School.
I love stories like this. Glenn achieved international fame, sold millions of records, toured the world, and then found fulfillment helping students succeed. That’s a pretty incredible second act.
So today I’m spinning “All I’m Missing Is You” and remembering a time when heartfelt pop ruled the airwaves. Anyone else have this one on repeat back in the day?
