His early recordings appeared on the
Valley Records label out of Knoxville, Tennessee, produced by Floyd Wilson, who penned one of Glenn's best recordings, "I Think I'm Falling In Love With You". Glenn's recording of "Crying in the Chapel" was originally recorded as a demo in professional studios in Ft. Worth, Texas, for the purpose of his father, Artie, to place the song with a publisher. The song was eventually accepted by Valley Publishers, who agreed to release the same demo recording as their first Valley Records release in 1953. The recording was too long to be released as a single, and a piano break was edited out, and the edited demo record was then released as the single. The song quickly became a hit. Glenn was still a student when the song was released, and after Glenn graduated, he went on a tour in the United States and Canada. Later he also toured with
Bob Hope. Glenn wrote a number of songs recorded by other artists; among these are the 1967 Elvis 45 release of
Indescribably Blue, "Bear With Me a Little Longer" by
Eddy Arnold; and "Only the Redeemed" by
Kenneth Copeland, which received a Grammy nomination. ==Death==
