Guy

A hip hop, R&B and soul band most closely associated with the new jack swing style of the 1980s and 1990s. Guy was formed in Harlem, New York in 1987 by young musician and record producer Teddy Riley, R&B singer-songwriters Aaron Hall and Timmy Gatling. Riley and Gatling growing up together as children in Harlem, they had previously join forces in the band Kids At Work. As Riley's reputation as a Hip hop producer grew in the mid-1980s, Hall was recruited to be the lead vocalist of what would become Guy. As well as writing songs for their trio, Riley and Hall collaborated on songwriting and production for Johnny Kemp ("Just Got Paid") and Bobby Brown ("My Prerogative").
The trio reconnects periodically since their initial break-up in 1995, with the release of the song "Tell Me What You Like". In 1999, Riley and the Hall brothers reunited to release their first album in nine years titled Guy III. The album featured the modest hit "Dancin'", which peaked at #22, their biggest hit on the pop charts. The group disbanded again soon after, but reformed periodically from since 2005, appearing together again in 2006 they were part of New Jack Reunion Tour line up, along with Blackstreet, Tony Toni Tone, After 7, New Edition, and SWV.
Riley and the Hall brothers came together again in 2009 for the BET Awards, performing "I Like" as part of a new jack swing medley.
