Founded during the 90’s, Boyz II Men remains to be one of the most remembered soulful R&B band due to their straight forward, heart melting ballads that became all time classics.
Started as quartet composed of Michael McCary, Nathan Morris, Shawn Stockman and Wanya Morris, the group started gaining attention when their first track was released called ‘Mowtownphilly’produced by Mowtown Records. However, their international career jumpstarted when they gave life to Babyface’s composition “End of the Road”’ for a film entitled Boomerang starring Eddie Murphy back in 1992. This became a 13-week hit outdoing the then 11-week record under Elvis Presley’s belt. This didn’t stopped the group as they set another record of staying on chart for 14 weeks with their song “I’ll Make Love To You.” The group continued owning the top chart when On Bended Knee graced the airwaves.
The success went on after the golden boys of R&B made a collaboration with the only Mariah Carey with the song named One Sweet Day. It’s no surprise that combining these great singers will result to a sure fire hit that stayed 16 weeks on top of the charts. At the 37th Grammy Awards, as what was concluded by their early hit songs, the band bagged Best R&B Album and Best Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals.
Though no longer active on mainstream, the group still does tours showcasing their new songs along with their well-loved classics. According to their website www.boziimen, the band can be seen perform at the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas.
As their songs continued to make love with the ears of their listeners of different walks and strokes, definitely, the group will never run dry on the hearts of the people who continue to appreciate their heartfelt music and exceptional vocal groove.
