For the last 30 years, as local listeners and players know, Glenn Taulton performed solo, with his band, G-Thang, and with numerous musicians at spots around Burlington: stealing the show with "My Girl" on karaoke night at the St. John's Club (his karaoke buddy, Rich Graham, said by email that he was lucky to sing backup for Glenn on Temptations' songs), joining Bobby McFerrin on vocals at the Flynn for "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands" and performing in Lyric Theatre's Finian's Rainbow on the same stage.
