Greg Guidry - "Goin' Down"

"Goin' Down" is, along with Eye to Eye's "Nice Girls", one of the best one-hit wonders of the 80s.

Featuring a nice chorus and a typical 80s vibe, it is one of the most underrated songs of the 80s. It even has a room for a short electric guitar solo.

Sadly, on, July 28, 2003, Greg Guidry was found dead, his charred body found in a car parked in his garage. His death was ruled a suicide.

Eye to Eye's "Nice Girls" easily stands out as one of my favorite one-hit wonders of the 80s. Reminiscent of artists like Steely Dan, it's a nice upbeat track. I like the beat, and keyboards work well too.

Anyway, time for the more geeky info.

Composed of American singer Deborah Berg and English pianist Julian Marshall, Eye to Eye formed in 1980 after meeting at a dance ensemble performance. A recording contract followed, and Eye to Eye released their self-titled debut album in 1981. They would release one more album, then broke up in 1984, later reuniting in 2001.
