Career

Giuffria is originally from Gulfport, Mississippi, where he graduated from high school in 1969. He played keyboards with several local bands including The Telstars and Flower Power, before moving to the US East Coast, where in late 1974 he formed Angel. After that band broke up in 1981, Giuffria put together his own band, Giuffria, with vocalist David Glen Eisley, guitarist Craig Goldy, bassist Chuck Wright, and drummer Alan Krigger. They released an eponymous album and a single "Call to the Heart", which made the Top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100. The band broke up after the commercial failure of their next album Silk and Steel in 1986.

Giuffria then put together the House of Lords, with help from Kiss' Gene Simmons, and signed to Simmons' label. The first album, House of Lords, was released in 1988.
