Guy is an American hip-hop R&B and soul music group originally formed in Harlem, New York. The members include Teddy Riley, Aaron Hall and Damion Hall.
Childhood friends, Teddy Riley, Aaron Hall and Timmy Gatling in 1987 who grew up together in Harlem, New York, formed Guy. With the help of their manager, Gene Griffin, they were able to sign to Uptown Records and released their debut self-titled album in 1988. After the completion of the album, however, Gatling left the group and was replaced by Aaron Hall’s younger brother, Damion Hall. The album fared fairly well, with four of the singles doing well on the R&B charts, which helped the album reach double platinum status. In the fall of 1990 Guy released their second album entitled “The Future.” The album didn’t hit mainstream success though it fared well on the R&B genre; however, the group disbanded with Riley pursuing producing and the Hall brothers each pursuing solo projects.
The group reunited in 1995 with the release of the song “Tell Me What You Like” but unfortunately nothing else was made. It wasn’t until 1999 that they reunited for an album. Unfortunately, “Guy III” didn’t fare so well and again the group disbanded. After a series of reunions it was announced in 2014 that Riley and the Hall brothers would be returning with new music as well as a tour.
Read moreWhile Guy might possess one of the least inspiring names in music history (I mean, seriously. Guy?! I choose to believe that they were so excited about the music that the name didn’t matter. That’s my story and I’m sticking with it), they are a band far more deserving of mass recognition than many who get it for a number of reasons. Most prominent is the fact that they were instrumental in the popularisation of the New Jack Swing style in the early 1990’s. This might not seem like much on the surface but considering that the vast majority of mainstream R&B and Hip-Hop owes a serious debt to its smooth yet streetwise sound, Guy become pioneers of their time. Strangely enough however, they weren’t around at the time when the sound was inescapable as they first split up in 1991. Since then a few choice concerts and performances around the turn of the century gave way to a more permanent reunion in 2005, and since then they’ve been bringing audiences to their feet the world over ever. Band founder Teddy Riley’s vocals still blend sumptuously with Aaron and Damion Hall’s, and like any great performer with nearly thirty years of experience behind them they’ve all become better performers since their glory days. It’s a celebration of a part of nineties culture that doesn’t get anywhere near as much recognition as it should, and it’s a hell of a good time as well. Highly recommended.
I think Guy may take the award for laziest band names, perhaps just pipped to the post by The The. Despite the lack of imagination when it comes to their namesake, the American R & B group creates music that easily surpasses the band name in the quality stakes.
They may not have released an original album in fifteen years yet the three albums in their discography are clearly adored by the fans who continue to attend the tours, many of which are labelled as reunions after the band has gone on various hiatuses through the years. The three musicians step out to loud cheers and quickly get to work with a set of hits for the long awaiting fans. Their soulful voices do not seem to be ageing and the vocal is only enhanced by a brilliant, rich sounding live band. The crowd gets involved during 'Lets Chill' 'My Fantasy' and 'Dancing' as despite the growing age of these songs, the choruses are still recognisable to the majority and the infectiously soulful hooks are difficult to forget.
I attended the GUY concert at Freedom Hill in Sterling Heights, MI (last night) Saturday night July 8, 2017 sponsored by radio station 105.9 and to many of Guys fan they were a complete NO SHOW!!!! The radio station last act of the night was David Holister after his performance everyone was angiously waiting on GUY performance but all we got to do is sit in the dark in dispair and watch was the stage being dismantled The radio Personalities did not have the descenency to inform the fans that the show would end without the headliner GUY
I feel duped it was false advertisement and I encourage everyone that attended this particular show to call 105.9 and express there dissatisfaction
On a postive note I truly enjoyed After 7 performance and would love to see them in a more intimate setting
One of my all-time favorite groups! They never disappoint and they gave a great concert.Loved how they took me back to my high-school days. Teddy, Damian and Aaron are the real deal and still sing real R&B!
