Guida家族的公司Rockmasters International Network Inc .., 去年，他把自己的纪念品——从45张唱片到天花板高的音响设备，再到与莎拉·沃恩等名人的合影——捐给了哈佛大学的特别收藏.
圭达没有上过老自治领大学，但他的女儿安妮·肯特和莉迪亚·麦克亨利上了.
他发出的声音被称为诺福克海峡, 所以我们想不出比ODU更适合与世界分享他的遗产的地方了," said his son, 乔, a lawyer in Dallas.
“诺福克之声”以“现场派对”的感觉而闻名," including clapping and spontaneous street sounds, said Tim Anderson, 传播与戏剧艺术副教授. 这种音乐被认为影响了布鲁斯·斯普林斯汀和披头士等音乐传奇.
The donation will be "an invaluable addition," said Jessica Ritchie, head of special collections and university archives. “它不仅让我们记录了当地历史上独特的一章, 它还鼓励ODU和其他学生和教师进行令人兴奋的学术RESEARCH机会."
圭达于1922年出生在西西里岛的巴勒莫，两岁时随家人搬到了纽约.
第二次世界大战期间，他在特立尼达随军服役. 那, said Anderson, 从他后来的一些记录中可以解释卡利普索的味道, 包括安德森最喜欢的吉米·索尔的《网站登录》," which Guida co-wrote with his wife, 卡梅拉, and songwriter 乔 Royster. It peaked at No. 1 in 1963.
1953年，圭达搬到诺福克，几乎立刻就开了他的第一家唱片店, Frankie's Birdland, on Church Street. Later, he opened Frankie's Got It on Granby Street.
But he didn't want to just sell records. 他创立了包括LeGrand和SPQR在内的唱片公司. 他写了音乐，并找到了录制歌曲的人才, including Tommy Facenda and Lenis Guess.
But his best-known discovery was Gary U.S. 债券. Then known as Gary Anderson, 这位年轻歌手在诺福克巡回演出，在街角表演, at amateur clubs, 在教堂. “我父亲立刻发现了他的潜力，”乔·圭达说. "He wasn't just impressed with his voice; Gary also had good looks and charisma."
圭达参与创作并制作了邦兹最受欢迎的歌曲《bet8体育娱乐入口》. 1 for two weeks in 1961.
几十年后，斯普林斯汀经常在音乐会上演唱这首歌. 据报道，迪翁引用了“差一刻三点”作为他类似声音的热门歌曲“Runaround Sue”的灵感."
Guida also dreamed up 债券' stage name.
他在教堂街商店附近的一家熟食店看到鼓励人们购买美国酸奶的海报后，萌生了这个想法.S. bonds, his son said. “我父亲在想出吸引眼球的噱头方面非常足智多谋. He was a marketing genius."
Old Dominion的Frank和卡梅拉 Guida/Rockmasters International Network Inc. Collection includes recording awards, 家庭录像带, 高耸的音响设备和他与包括音乐家贝西伯爵在内的名人的照片, Sarah Vaughan and Stan Getz, 女演员索菲亚·罗兰和前第一夫人罗莎琳·卡特.
2003年，圭达被列入诺福克的音乐星光大道. He died in 2007 one week before his 85th birthday. 次年，他的妻子兼创作伙伴卡梅拉(“米莉”)去世.
圭达是文艺复兴时期的人，他的兴趣超出了音乐，他的儿子说. 他是一位自学成才的画家，专攻油画. He also was active in Italian-American groups, 1995年，意大利总统授予圭达“骑士”称号," the equivalent of a knighthood.
圭达的藏品包括汉普顿路意大利裔美国文化基金会公布的吉姆森·威德奖(Jimson Weed Awards)获奖者名单, an organization founded by Guida. The awards, named after the nasty-smelling plant, 是为了刺激那些宣扬意大利裔美国人负面刻板印象的演员吗. One of the recipients, before his death, was James Gandolfini, who portrayed the mob boss on "The Sopranos."
圭达强烈的文化认同也影响了他在种族隔离时代的行为. “他对任何基于种族的歧视都非常敏感, ethnicity or creed," 乔 Guida said.
When he was on the road with black musicians, "his position was, “你要么给每个人一个房间，要么我们就不住在这里.’”有时，圭达被告知只有他可以住在酒店里. "So they'd all stop somewhere and sleep in the car."
