In the mid 90s he changed his last name to Burtnik, dropping the "c." Tracks listed under "Burtnick" are most likely from his earlier career, while "Burtnik" signifies newer stuff.
Glen's is not a household name, but his impact on the music world is considerable. He co-wrote the number one hit "Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough" with Patty Smyth, and also wrote "Spirit of a Boy, Wisdom of a Man," a number one country hit performed by Randy Travis.
Glen might also be recognized through his work in advertising. As one example, his song "The Man Inside" was used in the UK Phillishave advert back in the 90s.
Many fans outside of the New Jersey area discovered Glen through his two short stints with the rock band Styx. He first joined the band in the early 90s as a replacement for singer / guitarist Tommy Shaw, and later returned in the late 90s / early 2000s as a replacement for bassist Chuck Panozzo.
Glen has now returned to a solo career but remains active in the music world. Along with teaching music and performing solo shows, he is also an occasional member of a Beatles tribute band or two.

I remember playing this on AOR radio in Upstate New York (Utica) back in the day thinking this is gonna be a hit! It will always bring back fond memories of a simpler time for us all. 👍

Glenn,s albums and performances were awesome. Talking in code and heroes and zeros at the stone pony. The slaves of New Brunswick at court tavern. Live tonite in Hoboken after singing “ that boy “ for Bill Airs hungerthon thank you Glenn. Your Not so far away “ ( bill and Ted’s “

I cannot find the studio version of this song anywhere. Glen sounds great here, but I am so curious to hear what the original sounded like.
@skymanroberson5684
Back then he sounded very much like the vocal on "Follow You" (from his next record, Heroes & Zeroes). On this song, on the chorus he would go an octave up on the second line "wanna stay in the shade of a towering tree" - it was all very 80's synth pop, with TONS of reverb, the drums sounded like machines. The name of the album was "Talking in Code", and his name and the album name were stylized as GLENBURTNICK TALKINGINCODE. I can't find it anywhere either.
