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.

You know I'm gonna come through screaming the hits 🎶JAM, OOOHHHH JAM🎶
I loved Guy. And I had a crush on Aaron Hall.
Love the new montage opening.
Give Teddy his flowers the man is a music genius && created some timeless classics
Aaron has a gospel background. He used to sing with Hezekiah Walker back in the day.
I bought Guy III. I was so disappointed. It was terrible!!!
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'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.
“I like” and “Let’s chill” are classics. Teddy himself is a true legend.
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
New Jack Swing🎵🎶🎼🎹🥁🔥🔥
teddys jam 1 is the g.o.a.t. of songs
Did ya'll know Prophet Todd Hall is the Hall's brother? (well if you are a church goer or heard of Prophet Hall).
Why does Teddy Riley and RL from NEXT look like they could be close to twins? 🤔
In my opinion, guy NEEDED Timmy. The songs on the second album are not as good as the debut album.
I need to know why guy didn't do well on the pop charts
The pastor’s son was the worst outlandish one “Aaron Hall”… Woooow‼️‼️⚠️
His historical “D”‼️
You can tell, they still don't trust one another 🤷♂️
OMG, I’m just realizing the Guy’s CD’s cover was different two different ppl 😮🫥😳‼️
This was amazingly insightful with such professionalism ILT90s👏🏼👏🏼 gained my ✊🏼‼️
I thought they're first hit was " Tell me whatchu like baby"
Best era! Timeless classics!
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 👍🏾
I think guy was more so a "80s" group than a "90s" group,,, they're known for their debut 80s album. that album had about 6 hits.
I just realized Teddy and Marvin from Power look alike lol
I just subscribed 👍
