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 University in Petersburg, Virginia. After signing to Uptown Records, the group released their first self-titled album in 1988. Gatling left after the first album was done and was quickly replaced by Aaron's younger brother Damion.
