Formed in Harlem, New York in 1987 by young musician/record producer Teddy Riley, the original members of Guy included Riley and R&B singer-songwriters Aaron Hall and Timmy Gatling, who were students at HBCU Virginia State 1988. Gatling left after the first album was done and was quickly replaced by Aaron's younger brother Damian. Upon its release, the album went platinum three times over and included classics like "Groove Me", "Teddy's Jam," "I Like", "Piece of My Love" and "Merry-Go-Round of Love". That first album quickly established the group and Riley as musical forces.
After producing music for other artists other than his group, Riley returned to the group after they opened for New Edition and released their second album, The Future, in 1990. The songs "I Wanna Get Wit U" and "Let's Chill" gave them a broader, mainstream fan base. However, as soon as The Future's success had dried up, Guy would be album-less for much of the 1990s. In the meantime, Riley went on to produce for artists such as Heavy D and Michael Jackson, and formed another R&B group named Blackstreet. Both Aaron and his brother Damian recorded solo albums, Aaron being a major influence on the style of R'n'b singer R. Kelly.
In 2000, Riley and the Hall brothers reunited to release their first album in nine years titled Guy III. The album featured the modest hit "Dancin'", but their label MCA Records had a hard time promoting it. As quickly as it was released, it quickly dropped from the public radar. Since then, Guy has been relatively quiet, but rumors of working on a new album still linger.
In 2006 They were part of New Jack Reunion Tour line up, along with Blackstreet and New Edition.
Someday
Guy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got something to tell everybody out there
Sometimes you may feel like life have you in bondage
You don't know which way to turn
And you just feel like deep down inside
God, you have to help me
But take it from me, someday
It may not be your day or the day that you want it to happen
I got a message to tell y'all
I want y'all to listen to me
Listen very, very carefully
'cause it's a short story, with a big message
Someday, someday we'll all be free
Listen
Even though right now you may be going through
Somehow you wear a smile
Rainy days don't wash away the pain inside
No, you can't hide
Lift your hands to the sky
In our life we all need some relief
We all need peace to fulfill our destiny
I don't know what tomorrow may bring
But all I know is someday we'll all be free
Someday we'll all be free
Someday we'll all be free
Someday we'll all be free
Someday we'll all be free
Repeat above with ad libs until fade
