Garry Glenn was a gifted songwriter, singer, and keyboardist. As a teenager he toured with his sister, the gospel singer Beverly Glenn, but turned his attention to writing in the 1980s, penning songs for
the Emotions,
Earth, Wind & Fire,
Freddie Jackson,
Eddie Kendricks, and
the Dramatics, among others.
Anita Baker recorded what is probably his most widely known composition, "Caught in the Rapture," and
Glenn worked for a time as a keyboardist in her touring band, a position he also held with
Billy Ocean. His first solo album, Garry Glenn, was released in 1980, and a second, Feels Good to Feel Good, came out on Motown Records in 1987.
Glenn passed away on September 18, 1991. ~ Steve Leggett
