Archive material and source history
Guys Next Door were a band whose 1981 song "I've Been Waiting For You" became a pop radio staple. David Paich wrote it about his long-distance relationship, and the track's straightforward melody and earnest delivery connected with listeners in a way that felt personal rather than grandiose.
The group included David Paich on keyboards and vocals, Jeffrey Porcaro on drums, Steve Porcaro on keyboards, and Joseph Williams on vocals and guitar. They put out five albums between 1981 and 1990, including their self-titled debut and later records like "Welcome to the Night" and "Truth or Dare."
Jeffrey Porcaro died in 1992, which was a difficult moment for the band. They kept going afterward, but their catalog is still anchored by that early hit, a song that managed to sound both polished and unassuming.
