One Hit Wonder: this artist never had another hit at MATT RADIO.


Giuffria was formed in the early '80's by ex-Angel keyboardist Gregg Giuffria.  The band included vocalist David Glen Eisley, guitarist Craig Goldy, bassist Chuck Wright, and drummer Alan Krigger.  Similar to the power pop/arena hard rock style of Journey, Giuffria's 1984 self-titled debut met with marginal success, spawning the hit single "Call to the Heart."  Giuffria went on to open for Deep Purple and Foreigner before headlining a tour of their own in Japan. 

Replacing Goldy and Wright with Lanny Cordola and David Sikes, Giuffria's second release, 1986's Silk and Steel, suffered from lack of promotion and tour support.  After the band quietly disbanded, Gregg Giuffria regrouped with Cordola and Wright to form the band House of Lords.
