Under the guidance of manager Gene Griffin, the group signed to Andre Harrell's Uptown Records, releasing their self-titled debut, Guy, in 1988. Gatling left after recording was completed and was quickly replaced by Aaron's younger brother Damion Hall for the promotion and tour (with New Edition) of the record. The album contained the hit singles "Groove Me", "Teddy's Jam," "I Like" and "'Round And 'Round (Merry-Go-Round of Love)" as well as "Piece of My Love" and "Goodbye Love". The album earned Riley and the Hall brothers international fame as it went triple platinum. Following on from this success, in 1989 the band featured on the soundtrack to Spike Lee's film Do The Right Thing with the song "My Fantasy". However, in the same year they split acrimoniously from Gene Griffin, while Riley continued to produce and remix for other artists, firmly establishing himself as the figurehead of and driving force behind the New Jack Swing movement.  In 1990, Guy released their second album, The Future. The singles "Do Me Right" (Featuring Heavy D), "Wanna Get Wit U" and "Let's Chill" exposed them to a broader, more mainstream audience. At this time, the band featured in Mario Van Peebles's film New Jack City, performing the song "New Jack City". However, once the album's promotion ended in 1991, the band disbanded with Riley later citing "the tragedy of our ex-manager" as the reason for the split. In the 1990s, Riley focused on producing other artists (such as Heavy D and Michael Jackson) and formed the R&B group Blackstreet. The Hall brothers both pursued solo careers during the 1990s, with Aaron in particular finding success.………….. reference and read more detail Guy on Wikipedia | PLAY ON WIDESCREEN TV
