Not Me (album)
Not Me is the second full-length album by American singer Glenn Medeiros. It was released in 1988 in the United States and United Kingdom,[2] one year after the release of Medeiros' self-titled debut album, while it would not surface until 1989 in most other countries.[3] Two singles were released in the US to promote the album, each with a promotional music video. The first, "Long and Lasting Love", peaked at No. 68 on the Billboard Hot 100 before the album's release. It also charted in several European countries. The second US single, "Never Get Enough of You", followed in early 1989. This was also released as a 12-inch single, featuring an extended version of the track as well as a radio remix, but it failed to chart.
