Guffy Roberts

Who is Guffy Roberts?

Guffy Roberts is an American radio personality, singer, songwriter, and keytarist.

In March 1977, Roberts and fellow synth-player Trevor Science formed the band German Police Car, holding auditions for two remaining keyboardist positions in the gymnasium of Miami Killian High School. These auditions turned out to be fruitless, however, and they ultimately were forced to let Roberts' former girlfriend Olga Kraskavenovich in the band due to an upcoming performance at a Little Havana nightclub. There, the three bandmates found their fourth and final member, keyboardist Jamal Jenkins. The band was renamed "Trevor and Roberts" for a brief period in early 1978 but was ultimately renamed "German Police Car" due to wishes of the remaining band members.

After early success with 1978 radio single German Police Car from the album of the same year and name, German Police Car, the band toured across Europe for two years before being dissolved due to differences between Roberts and the rest of the band.

Guffy Roberts released five solo albums before the age of 22, when he broke his contract directing instructional videos for Wendy's to become a disc jockey at Missouri State University's student radio station The Growl in Springfield, Missouri.
