The pioneers of New Jack Swing
I seriously miss the New Jack Swing sound. I grew up in the 80's and 90's and I still have to play my jams to this day. (there are some that were listed here that I didnt know)
I wish the NJS would come back .. ok. Im being nostalgic. but I just love the innovation and creativity of Terry Riley and everyone associated with it.
That Above the Rim soundtrack was fire!
Greatest soundtrack ever.
Indeed!
DeaThroW!!!
Still is!!!!
@@jeremylewis679 ever!!!!
Sorry youngsters you would have had to have been there back in the day to truly understand and appreciate how good these fellows were...They literally created a totally new genre of music!!!
Well I couldn’t since I was born in 90 lol
@@VonTheStampede
Not really you would have had to be in high school in the 90’s to understand lol..
@@cedthetruth1311 if you say so but alright
@@VonTheStampede me either I was just a little girl in the late 80's 😁😁😁💀.
@@cedthetruth1311 I was in elementary school and I totally understood it! My stepdad had the cassette tape of their albums. We would dance out asses off on Saturday mornings to some Guy LOL
Teddy is a genius
100% agreed
Yep yep 😊
True indeed 💯
@@itsstillme-hk4uc yes that's exactly what he would say .
Guy did both dance jams and slow jams extremely well. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Teddy is a legend and Aaron was the voice
Exactly!
Teddy Riley was all that.
Hands Down my FAVORITE R&B male trio...Groove Me...and Teddy.s Jam...and of course I Like...wait....all day shit!!!
I feel like r Kelly bit alot of Aaron halls style, especially earlier in Kellz career
Don’t forgot Piece of my love and Goodbye love that album was a banger.
It’s on the video
I Miss You by Aaron Hall is still a bop!! That song still makes cry to this day
The video was sad to !!
Rip to the video baby mama she not dead in real life but yeah
The video was dedicated to his 1st son...not the baby mama like we would think...he got video model Gloria Velez pregnant at a young age and he couldn’t see the baby which is the son he has with her
@@leetrimm6222 What??)
@@scrillscrill1099 yep she was about 15 or 16 at the time.
It wouldn't be Uptown Records without Heavy D, Mary J. Blige, Jodeci, Soul for Real, Father MC, Christopher Williams, Finesse and Synquis and Guy!! RIP Andre Harrell
I still can't believe he's gone.
i didnt know Harrel was mr hyde of jeckell and hyde
You forgot Al B. Sure
SOOO True Facts 👊🏾
Rip Andre Hall 💔♥️
Their Music, fashion, and style was ahead of its time.They took R&b to a whole nother level. Definitely changed the game.
Timmy was mad smart and saved himself from industry slavery.
That’s a great terminology
"Let's Chill" was the s--t! That song is timeless & Aaron Hall's voice was amazing on that track.
This was my entire childhood. When music was pure fun, makes you wanna move your body and nod your head, no cursing, just genuine love songs a man had for a woman.👏😁
Yesss indeed
Yorkie----PERIOD!
Yeah
T.R. is the most underatted producer of all time.He had a whole sound and did KPOP.Much respect to TR.
NEW EDITION. THE FORCE MD’S. GUY. PERIOD.
Troop
GROOVE ME, TEDDY JAM 2, LET STAY TOGETHER, FANTASY, AND THE LIST GOES ON!!!! GUY FOREVER!!!!!
that was my group
@@nishies they have so many classics goodbye love the first album in 88 was my favorite although I like the 1990 release the future let's chill and smile are some others .
Guy had a good mix of songs to dance to and slow jams. I miss that, now R&B is more pop. There is a difference.
Guy and New Jack Swing genre was a phenomenon. The era of 1988-95 was a Golden Age of R&B/Soul and hip-hop
Hmmm you can tell Teddy Riley produced My prerogative. It has these heavy drum beat sound.
Teddy Riley, Guy & Aaron Hall kicked ass in the 90tys on the music charts!!!🤠🤔🎶💯
Rump Shaker is still a summer classic!!
Til this Day!!
@@natoshiapurnell5652 I heard it a week ago it is still a staple.
Aaron Halls song I Miss You used to make me cry when I was a kid. the video was so sad!
Especially the video 😭
Same here! Song was so beautiful yet depressing lmao! I know all the words to this day! 😂
My favorite group! 100%
They are amazing
😒😒
I have that on repeat in my truck ____
That year was a hell of a year 💯
You manage to put all this talent and history into 17 minutes. Bravo
Thank you I try
RL from the group Next could play Teddy in a Guy Biopic!
I always thought they looked alike too when I was younger.
@@TheJanetjacksonlover I saw it good in the butta love video yes the facial hair was nearly identical.

Tim pulled a Ice Cube move frfr 😂
Guy is great. I love Aaron Halls voise. They temind me of the Gap band, one of the greatest singers in the world, Charlie Wilson. All you guys are great. Thank you for all the wonderful songs. God bless you.
Guy was my fav group back in the late 80s. I was a real New Jack Swing head. Lets stay together was that joint too 🔥🔥🔥.
It's crazy how those Guy hits still stand up, in 2021 those grooves are still funky!!!
Yep yep!
Mabe but they don't have nothing on Michael Bolton, vanilla ice,and back streets boys,they got the real soul
Yesssssss!! I will always l♥️ve Guy!! 💋😘🥰😍💓💕💌❣️🤗
Guy had them HITS!!!
Yes, they sure did.
I was a senior in high school when their first album dropped. It was so dope. Different from other things, cutting edge, a mixture of r&b and hip hop. Great music.
Teddy Riley is a legend!!
Goat
I got Guys first album but need to check if it's still there because I had so much music some of it begin to disappear. I also have so much other music that Teddy Riley produced
U forgot 2 mention that Aaron Hall did the hook for Heavy D & The Boyz hit Now That We Found Love.
oh yes i remember and also Hammer too "Pumps in the Bump"
@@nishies yep I always thought that was him.
@@nishies wasn't he on toss it up too ?.
@@musiclover-cn7tb yes he was but not in the video
I loved me some guy. Their first album is legendary.
Don't Wanna Fall in Love Remix is a bop!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yes indeed 😎
These UNSUNG SHORTS are really Good! Full of information and the style of editing is awesome! Great piece of history & discographies
"Goodbye Love" was my favorite song from Guy
Truly was the new GAP Band!
Guy, Tony! Toni! Tone!, Bell Biv Devoe, Hi-Five, Keith Sweat, Color Me Badd and Jodeci are the kings of New Jack Swing
Beanie Gee Yo Don't Forget About Us Fam...One Love Fa'Sho...
@@johnharreld6580 Troops version of " All i Do is Think of You" had me daydreaming of my school years of the early 80s even though i was out of school when the song came out it took me back to the school hallway and all the pretty girls just walking by going to their lockers getting ready for the next class and yes i made plenty of mistakes in those school years if i could do over i would have done things alot different. Troop did the Jackson Five's song and actually took it to another level...yep when you mention 90s music and new jack swing you cant leave out Troop.
@Salem Ave Yep...Yep...U Betta Believe It...One Love Fa'Sho...
To not mention R Kelly is hypocritical. regardless of his situation, give him his props for his contributions to new jack swing!!
@Salem Ave i wouldnt call him a sexual weirdo, at least he had women instead of men or transgenders! the sad part is he is sitting in jail without even being convicted or found guilty by a jury of anything.
I was stationed in Germany when that first Guy CD dropped. It was the summer of 88'. Every song on there was fire. Gene Griffin was a crook. Teddy Riley only got a small amount of money. TR is the king of New Jack Swing..
My dad was stationed in Italy
Bigfella I was in Hanau
@@duaneharris5057 I was stationed at Karlsruhe, Germany.
@@barrywilliams9059 I was in Hanau from 84-91
@@duaneharris5057 I was at Spangdahlem Airbase Germany 86-88
Dem my boyz...Really enjoy their music...still 2022
They remind me of The Gap Band
The New Jack Swing era was so dope...Teddy is a musical genius 👏🏾
He spoke the truth about the industry ripping greatness apart.
That Dangerous album is still a classic! RIP Michael Jackson
Wasn't better than thriller tho
I got the cd,would have had the album but some of my albums had dissapeared and I'd gotten into cassettes wishing I had the cd so I could jam that in my truck.....putting it on order
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@dreameryoung38 yes it's a must own I enjoyed hearing Mike take on the new jack swing sound.
Oh my lawd!! This takes me back to some wonderful memories. I was with my first love and dumb and naive as hell. But don't regret anything. Guy was my soundtrack to my teenage love story. 😂😂🤣😂 Thanks Von😍
Your welcome and anytime
Gurrrrrrl!! 🤦🏾♀️
I was in my 20's when Guy came out..man good old days... You did an excellent job breaking down their story. Thank you.
It wouldn't be New Jack Swing without Guy
This was the baddest group of the late 80s early 90s. They would turn out a concert. The best concert I went to in my high school days.
How i love and miss New Jack swing music, time and the parties
2:17 - Correction: that was "Teddy's Jam 2 (on their 2nd album - The Future)"
“Piece of my love “ 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 has been sampled so many times
I was clubbin hard 😳back in them days💯fun ,fun, we was wearing shoulder pads in all our clothing😅😅😅 a legend real R&B music😇
I still love this group and Aaron hall
The whole first album was the bomb.
This was great! I went to see Teddy Riley in concert in 2019 but it was just him and Damion. I’m glad they squashed their beef with Aaron
Thank you and same here when life get back to normal
Was listening 🎧 to Aaron Hall and Guy bought this CD Aaron is a singing brother
I remember hearing Tell Me What You Like on New York Undercover
Same
Guy III is my favourite album of all time!!!
A moment in time. Lots of good memories.
Aaron And Guy wasnt nothing to be messed with.
Damien Hall's interview was great
Great video my brother. "Guy" may not have last long as a group, but individually they made some serious money. The real money in the music business is behind the scenes. Mr Teddy Riley knows that well. First name Roger, Last name Cook. 3/3/2021
This documentary took me down memory lane!!!! I had some good times back then 😌.
Teddy Couldn't sing worth a shit, but he was the game changer producer. Teddy was muscle..
Love Guy!! They are a big part of my high school years. Go c/o 89….The 80s was a special time for me,
Yo!! How can you forget to mention one of the most Bangin' tunes during that time, "New Jack City"!! The sound track of the title movie itself took New Jack Swing to the ultimate level. Also Blackstreet's first ever hit "Baby Be Mine" from that great funny comedy hip hop spoof movie "CB4" starring the great Chris Rock😎
So true how could they forget about this song?
Originally it was Guy (w Timmy Gattling) featuring Teddy Riley & BlackStreet (w Joseph Stonestreet b4 Holister) featuring Teddy Riley
Damon Hall looks good!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️😛
A lot of people don't know that Nas sampled Goodbye Love for his song Bye Baby with Aaron Hall vocals on it!
I do because I remember the original song.
Lol, not true that's my Era
Love you Guy always
Yea ..that Aron Hall interview was a hot mess.
I'm like woooooa 😳😳😳😳😳😳
@@reddyred5097 yeah I've seen it he said 1980's bitches I have historical d___ 😂😁😁😁.
@@musiclover-cn7tb wow! He is bold bold
I love guy ♥️me and my family still rock they music💯😎♥️♥️♥️♥️
Guy restored my faith in R&B.The song Her should have gotten some airplay and the remix of I Wanna Get With You was ignored.
Listening to guy brings back so many memories. Good and bad.
I was in high school when Guy came out but I followed Teddy and what ever he produced. I would to the record store for hours reading the credits on the back of CD's or 12' Maxi singles just to see who produced the songs. I still have all my CD's and just about own all of Teddy's songs and remixes he produced that was released. Timmy Gatling and Teddy Riley could have been just like Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis and L.A. Reid & Babyface (I have all of their music too) as one of the top music producer and writer duos if they stayed together in that era. I think music from 1985-1995 was the highest quality of music especially in the R&B genre. Thanks for making this video.
Same hear!! My personal favorite side group was TODAY...Man!!!
@@minorsnow5306 I've heard some of their songs and there was another group called basic black that the record company tried to mold into guy's image.
@@minorsnow5306 big bub could sing.
@@musiclover-cn7tb b.e.t. use to air a Motown review showcase from early 90s from bahamas.And today was one of those acts.They was jamming!....B.e.t. needs release those tapes 🙏🙏🙏
@@minorsnow5306 I certainly hope so I remember a song that went something about girl I've got my eye on you or something to that effect.
They was a great group
Indeed
Oh yes, the 90s were awesome! The New Jack Swing Era was introduced to me by a former friend of mine and I have never stopped listening to this timeless music. ❤❤❤❤
I hope you do an Unsung short on Color Me Badd, Jade, Tara Kemp, Eternal, Frankie Lymon, Mobb Deep, Tim Dog, Craig Mack, Johnny Kemp, Gang Starr, Brownstone and many more!
I love Guy still listen to their music.
My all time favorite group
Guy was never the same without Timmy Gatling who wrote and helped produced most of the songs on their first album and who also created the group and founded Aaron Hall.They never reached the level or original sound of the first album.Their second album the future sounded mechanical and missed that funk appeal of the first album because Timmy Gatling wasnt there
Not true. They were dope until Aaron went solo
@@nickx4576 teddy quit first so aaron had no other choice but to go solo
That's cap Aron hall era was better
Teddy didn't need guy guy needed Teddy.
@@big-l5771 im a huge guy fan but I have always said that
They need a movie
Bet where yall at?
New Jack Swing = my fav music💕
Never knew they had beef with New Edition
In response to the guy who never understood why Guy had beef with New edition, I'm not really sure of the real reason either but their feud took a violent turn back in 1990 when they were in Pittsburgh PA when Guy's road manager was killed inside of the Civic Arena which was in Pittsburgh.
@@steviemcqueen2547 They were essentially competing on the Budweiser Superfest Tour. Both groups were super hot at the time, so the competiveness just got out of hand. That's the short version.
@@JBone400 oh ok. I was supposed to go to the concert in Pittsburgh PA but it eventually got canceled after Guy's road manager was shot & killed
@@steviemcqueen2547 That's too bad. I remember that tour and they had the hottest acts out on there. Messed it up for a lot of fans.
I love ❤️ “Don’t be afraid “ and “I Miss You”
Watching this documentary as we speak, amazed and surprised about the New Edition beef!I heard about somebody dying when both groups were on tour, but knew nothing about a beef!Respect and admire both groups!
I went to school and hung out with Damien at Virginia State Univ. We were both freshman . He was in all the band's he played the big ass drum for the marching band. All the ladies were always hanging around him and he's a real dude
First guy band I feel in love with ♥️
Loved piece of my loved
Teddy and Aaron worked on a song with Quo.
Guy's first two albums were the soundtrack of my high school years.
My Fantasy was a bop!
Hard bop!
Teddy Riley’s sound brings the friday to your Mondays; accelerating and definitely none like it
I certainly have a GUY playlist 🎶🎵
"Boomerang" Soundtrack Aaron Hall did a track with Charlie Wilson "Everything Gonna Be Alright"
Aaron was also on the Boomerang sndtrk with Charlie Wilson.
Also on Hammer’s Pumps And A Bump.
They definitely can dance
They forgot that song off the juice soundtrack don't be afraid
Still one of my favorites!! 💯
