He remained active with music growing up and sang in bands through high school and college, including several with future Doobie Brother (and Saint Louis native) Michael McDonald. He signed a publishing deal in 1977, spending the next several years writing for other artists and even singing backup for the Allman Brothers Band in 1981. Columbia Records signed Guidry as an artist in 1982 and issued his debut, Over the Line. With it's adult pop sound, Over the Line produced a hit with the first single culled from it, "Goin' Down." The song peaked at number 17 in the spring of 1982 and managed to do even better on the adult contemporary charts, where it reached Top Ten status. The follow-up track, a duet with sister Sandy Guidry, failed to duplicate the success and spent a mere two weeks on the charts. Guidry would continue to write for others, but it would be nearly 20 years before he would release a second solo album with 2000's self-released Soul'd Out. All Music Guide | |
