What Happened To ‘80s R&B Group Guy?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ต.ค. 2022
- Teddy Riley, Aaron Hall, and Timmy Gatling came together in the late ‘80s to form Guy, an R&B singing trio that displayed traditional soul vocals over hip hop beats creating a never-heard-before sound dubbed new jack swing. They went on to achieve numerous hits as well as inspire a crop of other groups and solo artists to embrace the new music genre. Behind-the scenes, though, things had already started to fall apart from the very beginning and only got worse as time went on until it all came to an abrupt end.

Teddy Riley definitely deserves more credit as a producer
@@misterbee66 yessss I was literally on a marathon of guy teddy and blackstreet all night when this popped up on my phone lol.
He's really one of the best of all time. Literally responsible for creating a new genre in music. New Jack Swing.
I'm really surprised Teddy hasn't been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. He's produced so many great songs, and he's done a lot of producing for Korean pop artists as well.
Oh so we have HIM to blame for that mess? 😂
Facts
Created a whole sub genre. That’s more than deserving of an induction.
@@brianas6550 New Jack Swings influence is still present in modern rnb
Those music snobs don’t consider new jack swing a real genre, or one that needs to be respected
“I like” and “Let’s chill” are classics. Teddy himself is a true legend.
And Groove me
Facts
It was all about Goodbye Love & Piece Of My Love for me.
@@kirbykipling9515 whew “piece of my love” 🙌🏾🔥🔥
@@sarahsimpkins1311 That too 🙌🏾
Who remembers that Love and Basketball scene with I LIKE playing in the background? 😈😈
“Strip!”
I Miss You by Aaron Hall is still a timeless song
Facts 💯
One of my favs of all time!
Guy's self-titled debut album is a timeless classic
NJS saved R&B in the late 80s.
Sooooooooooooooo...we just going to act like we didn't hear her say ol girl was 16 when Aaron was 30. LOL!! Man there just needs to be a whole docuseries called Surviving the 90s! Surviving the men R&B in the 90s! Surviving the men of Hip Hop in the 90s (shoot the women too after hearing about the Jewel experience...RIP), Surviving the Music Industry PERIOD! I mean geesh!
Jewel? What’s tea?
Heard it loud and clear. It’s shocking how if you look deep enough a good amount have something like this in their past. I don’t understand why these men don’t leave children alone and be with women that are atleast legally of age 🥴
@@DeshaunD I forgot the guy’s name but death row had some R&B dude signed to them, I think his name is Donnie or something, and in an interview he claimed Jewel gave him the “Jewel experience” while he was underage. In a later interview before she passed jewel confirmed in giving him the experience but laughed and claimed she didn’t know he was underage.
@@305k94life facts!
@@RaquelCGary It Was Danny Boy
Nothing beat that New Jack Swing sound. It was just too funky! It boomed in the cars and backyard cookouts. Oh yeah...house parties and skating rinks 🙌.
We all have read/heard the dramas of being in groups. No one should forsake your brother or sister in your group but it happens.
I miss them and Blackstreet.
Nothing beats 90's music
@@fj5492 it sure doesn't .
I listened to some songs written by Timmy a few bbd joints .
I was literally just getting ready to listen to don't be afraid.
Teddy Riley definitely deserves his flowers while he's still here!!
Don't be Afraid by Aaron Hall is a classic song!!
YES
Teddy doesn't get anywhere near the level of respect he deserves man is one of greatest producers ever!
I absolutely loved the Guy/New Jack Swing Era. I hope they continue to work together. Nothing but love for them ❤❤❤
One of my favorite producers and groups from the New Jack Swing Era.
I got to see Guy at a 90s concert in 2019. I held my hand out and Aaron Hall grabbed my hand 😊. It was a dope concert. Definitely worth a stage seat.
Give Teddy his flowers the man is a music genius && created some timeless classics
Teddy was the first R&B producer to make drum programs that rivaled sample beats. Plus he used samples. His drum programs are legendary. Historical...
Let's Chill by Guy is a timeless classic!! Actress Melissa De Sousa made a cameo in the video for the song
“Don’t Go” by Mary J Blige off her My Life album samples Goodbye Love of Guy.
Right
Yesssss I always knew that !!!
Some of the MOST INFLUENTIAL jams came from Guy back in the late 80s and early 90s! I Like, Let's Chill, A Piece of My Love, etc. etc. etc. Teddy Riley is a GENIUS! 🎶🎵❤️❤️❤️❤️
I never realized how much Aaron Hall and Charlie Wilson really do sound alike 💯! This channel brings so much nostalgia, thank you ❤️.
Ppl say R. Kelly was Aaron Hall as his influence or whatsoever.
Me either!!!
Listen to both Gap Band and Guy's versions of "Yearning for your love". Almost identical.
Yeah one time Charlie Wilson wrote a diss song about Aaron
Charlie Wilson influenced Aaron Hall...
I always love when there’s a fairly happy ending ,at least they all still messing with each other..a lot of these groups have so much internal crap that they won’t even tour together..that hurts my heart because I love the 90’s era of music
You know I'm gonna come through screaming the hits 🎶JAM, OOOHHHH JAM🎶
💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾
Still listen to Guy to this day!!!
i cant believe he produced The Show. he was a teenager. crazy 🔥😍hes underrated AF. && Aaron Hall has one of the best voices Ive heard. its interesting hearing how I Miss You was about his late son since the video is the opposite. the girl dies and the baby lives. used to make me cry when I was a kid.
I remember when people use to compare Aaron Hall & R.Kelly because of their vocal abilities, I guess that's not the ONLY thing they have in common..😏
I know right!! What's with these GROWN ASS MEN fucking with little girls? 🤔 like they can't get a woman in their age range....JayZ did it with Foxy Brown he brought her on the scene she was just 15yrs old and his overgrown ass was pass 21 and he was fucking that little girl at that time..No one said anything not even her parents and she had two parents in the household 🤦🏾♀️smh
@@georgiasweetpotato7170 They want somebody they can mold into the woman THEY want them to be. Because when a woman gets to a certain age, she's not having any of that. Same way with older women, which is why Madonna likes them younger then her.
I said the samething they vocals sound alike 😮
& both were bald with glasses. 😩😩😩
We used to call Aaron Hall “Boathouse Hall” because he locked his baby momma up in the boathouse and someone had to save her. I was in the CFL at the time and both entertainers and athletes share the same representation, publishing and legal firm and rumors spread more frequently than COVID. They say that Aaron hates the nickname, but hell he earned it lol 😂. Great video 👍🏾
Teddy has soooo much talent it's like he does everything
I never knew Aaron lost his child no wonder that song sounded so convincing.
I didn't either but I heard him do that interview on how he took one of Luke's girl from him and how he did her was down right wrong and so disrespectful I was so disguised on how can you even speak on it on the radio made me look at him so different no wonder why Karma came back and bite him in his dirty a@@ then have the nerve to sing a gospel song afters I was so done with that interview I couldn't hear no more he should have been in jail for battery SMH then dating and doing an underage girl is just nasty
The woman in the white fur coat in the Jay-z video is Aaron’s baby mama. In Vladtv he said she got a tattoo of his name located on her lower stomach
I love how you stay constant with different intro’s
Love your videos, it’s like you fill in the gaps for Unsung. There are so many 90s acts on my list that I want an update on. Btw Aaron sleeping with a 16 year old doesn’t sit right with me omg 🥴 but thanks for the work you do and keep the videos coming.
Guy has some bops like Do me right, dog me out, & Piece of my love. But alot of there songs r timeless💚
Facts
Whats a bop
Piece of my love was my jam.
Love the new intro btw 🙌🏾! The second video you did with Teddy Riley being involved.
Teddy Riley deserves a 60 minute feature on this channel
Please consider it..
From the late 1980's to the early 1990's, the New Jack sound dominated R&B. Guy was a huge factor for that.The group had a short but memorable run.
I just hope they’ll stay together and keep getting along!! Life is too short for the nonsense!! Love these dudes!! 😎
Whewwww when I saw this recommended for me I clicked so FAST!!! Ever since I started listening to Guy myself a couple of years ago I've been completely in love since! "My Fantasy", "Don't Clap, Just Dance" and "New Jack City" are my three favorite songs by them! Those jams are just so funky! I remember hearing their music played when I was extremely young in the mid 90s and it never dawned on me until very recently that they're not really known outside of the black community as most of their hits were only R&B hits. I don't understand why after 30 years they haven't had any honors at award shows and they're NEVER mentioned among all of this '90s nostalgia that's been going on the past few years, yet there have been several songs lately that have sampled their classic hits. Guy is such a beautiful and important part of R&B history. I hope they get their acknowledgment and flowers soon while they're still here. They have bangers for days to be honest. P.S.: Aaron Hall seems to be a huge mess though in his personal life and I believe needs mental help.
To this day that Keith Sweat's How deep is your Love is a materpiece..Teddy was a mad scientist behind then boards...
Guy also appeared on New York Undercover season 2 episode 3 Man's Best Friend when they performed the song Tell Me What You Like at Natalie's
I named my oldest son after Teddy Riley using his last name as my son’s name Riley. Been a fan of Guy forever (in a healthy way)
My favorite is Piece of my love and Teddy’s Jam
Guy's sophomore album The Future is also a classic as well
Timmy Gatling needs more respect and praise.
A reunion with four of them would be cool.
Let's not forget Piece Of My Love is a banger too till this day. Speaking of Aaron Hall and his hit Don't Be Afraid, um yeah, those lyrics are very questionable 🤔 🤣
Glad someone else questioned those lyrics. Talking BDSM before folks really knew what that stood for! And the dude came out of the church (LOL).
Guy has a lot of classic cuts; Ballads and club bangers
Piece of my love is one best song ever produced!!!!
Gene Griffin the manager owned the L.L.C and trademark to the group's name he had Aaron, Teddy and Damion sign over almost all over there publishing and royalties without a lawyer present which would have given each member about 30 million dollars apiece when the group members found out what he did they refused to sing that's why GUY broke up.
Wow
Best era! Timeless classics!
Glad to watch this. A few things I didn't. Ouuuu if my gentlemen could come together to do a Guy tour, I would be there. Missed NE this year. 🖤💖💖🙏🏽
Guy will forever be🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥to me!!!❤️❤️❤️
Guy's debut was the first album that I ever purchased along with Heavy D. and the Boyz "Big Tyme".
One of my favorite groups. Of all time GUY
New intro! Nice. Can't wait for this one.
Loved their music 🎶 🎵 Hope aaron hall gets help he has a great voice
It’s just a fantasy is my favorite song by Guy
Love these stories so much!! Can't wait for more
Can’t wait to see Guy this year in tour with New Edition!
Great group. Teddy Riley should've been gotten the credit he deserves
Teddy Riley a 🐐
Why does Teddy Riley and RL from NEXT look like they could be close to twins? 🤔
They really do
Aaron has a gospel background. He used to sing with Hezekiah Walker back in the day.
Aaron Hall also appeared in Nas' Bye Baby video
l love Guy!!! But l would like to see Timmy back for a reunion.
I love them too.
Dang!! Got me giving Aaron the side eye now....🤨
Dancing? I’ve never heard of it. I’ll have to check it on Spotify.
Dancin' is a jam that was part of my marathon guy playlist.
Teddy deserves his 💐
Aaron's i miss you had me in my feelings the song is Gold😢❤
Teddy Riley...LEGEND👑
Damion looks like roscoe dash lol
Teddy looking like Marvin from Raising Kanan 🤣
It's mighty funny I've been on an aaron hall guy and blackstreet marathon all night when this video popped up out of nowhere the last artist I played was Aaron lol 😆😂.
Legends of the New Jack Swing!
Salud Guy! 🍻
I love Guy. I have seen them a few times in concert . Ted Riley is amazing .
Love how Nas sampled Goodbye Love for his song Bye Baby for his 10th album Life is Good
Lol I remember that Aaron interview 😂 tatted his name above her honeypot.
My mom loves her some Aaron Hall and R Smelly lol 😆
New Jack Swing🎵🎶🎼🎹🥁🔥🔥
Back in '88. Hammersmith Apollo. Best concert. Ever!!
I was there too totally agree
I just realized Teddy and Marvin from Power look alike lol
New intro I'm feeling it
You got on fya azz intro. Thnx for these vids.
Gloria is beautiful!
Love the new montage opening.
They were real gd hell I got my daughters knowing their music it’s sad that Teddy been that guy but dnt get the recognition as much and Aaron Hall too
OMG, I’m just realizing the Guy’s CD’s cover was different two different ppl 😮🫥😳‼️
3:52 had me cracking up I didn't expect that sound at all lol.
Everytime I think of Aaron Hall, I think of him getting with an underage Gloria Velez and having a child with her
You can tell, they still don't trust one another 🤷♂️
Excellent video this channel never fails can you do one about jordin sparks
Guy is on The Legacy tour with New Edition, Keith Sweat & Tank.
This was amazingly insightful with such professionalism ILT90s👏🏼👏🏼 gained my ✊🏼‼️
I heard Aaron Hall was a super freak👀and male celebrities use to watch him "do his business" with other women
I mean, that's the industry in general. Orgies, 3somes, same sex orgies , 3somes. Personally, it's nothing wrong with it. But don't put someone else business out there like that.
They said he had a 12 inch bbc a monster dude was banging a lot of women even Madonna wanted it
@@socialmedianotfunanymore What? The CELEBRITIES who knew him put his business out there dingus
I hope that the NEW JACK CITY TOUR will happen next year.
teddys jam 1 is the g.o.a.t. of songs
New jack city , my favourite song and favourite movie ❤
I loved Guy. And I had a crush on Aaron Hall.
They still look good at their age!
Rest In Peace🙏🤍🕊🙏♥️
I just subscribed 👍
& this is where Chris Brown sampled "warm Embrace" from Guy's "Let's Chill"
