After the runaway success of their first two albums, 1991's Cooleyhighharmony and 1994's II, that catapulted them to pop superstardom, Boyz II Men looked for a threepeat with the release of Evolution in 1997. Their fourth overall recording at the time — they dropped their evergreen holiday collection Christmas Interpreations between their freshman and sophomore sets in 1993 — had all of the makings of another hit collection with who's who of songwriters, producers and hitmakers, including Babyface, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, involved in the production. Unfortunately, with all the star power behind Evolution, it couldn't match the success of its predecessors and signaled the start of a downward trend for BIIM.

Don't get it twisted, Shawn Stockman, Nathan Morris, Wanya Morris and Michael McCary sounded as amazing as ever on Evolution; there was no change in the quality of their vocals. However, the material itself was all a bit lackluster. Lead single '4 Seasons of Loneliness,' while a sweet song about the lingering feelings of heartbreak wasn't bad, was no 'Motownphilly' or 'I'll Make Love To You.' Nonetheless, the track debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and hit No. 1 the following week. Evolution also got a boost from the follow-up single 'A Song For Mama,' which was also featured on the Soul Food Soundtrack and has been trotted out on every Mother's Day or occasion honoring mothers since. The Boyz also took on New Edition's 'Can You Stand the Rain' with a slowed down a cappella remake that showcased their otherworldly harmonies. Although the album got a relatively sleepy start with ballads, it woke up halfway through thanks to productions from Sean 'Puffy' Combs and a few of his bad boys (Stevie J, Ron 'Amen-Ra' Lawrence and Jeffrey 'J-Dub' Walker) on 'Can't Let Her Go,' 'Come On' and 'To The Limit' and Keith Crouch who contributed 'Baby C'mon' and 'All Night Long.' Unfortunately, of those songs, only 'Can't Let Her Go' was released as a single and it made little impact, with the rest of the tracks largely becoming forgotten about album cuts despite there being a few bops among them.

Evolution debuted at No. 1 on both the Billboard 200 and R&B Album charts, but it would be the last time that Boyz II Men would see that apex. The album sold a solid but modest three million copies worldwide, which paled in comparison to the numbers their previous releases did. They came up short at the GRAMMY Awards the following year as well, but a Spanish-language version of the album, Evolución, would go on to snag a Billboard Latin Music Award for Pop Album of the Year by a New Artist. Behind the scenes, label drama reared its ugly head between the Boyz and Motown, and Evolution would be their last on the label. In the 20 years since Evolution, Boyz II Men have continued to evolve and are still together (minus Michael McCary) making music and money moves. This year they released their 13th studio album, a doo-wop tribute project Under the Streetlight; have enjoyed a successful ongoing residency in Las Vegas at The Mirage and had a street near their high school renamed Boyz II Men Boulevard in their hometown of Philadelphia. Boyz II Men's enduring legacy looms large.

Boyz II Men is an American R&B vocal group from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, best known for emotional ballads and a cappella harmonies. They are currently a trio composed of baritone Nathan Morris alongside tenors Wanya Morris and Shawn Stockman. During the 1990s, Boyz II Men found fame on Motown Records as a quartet including bass Michael McCary, who left the group in 2003 due to health issues.^[1]

During the 1990s, Boyz II Men gained international success. This began with the release of top 5 singles 'Motownphilly' and 'It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday' in 1991, followed by the number one single 'End of the Road' in 1992, which reached the top of charts worldwide.^[2] 'End of the Road' set a new record for longevity, staying at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for thirteen weeks, breaking the decades-old record held by Elvis Presley. Boyz II Men proceeded to break this record with the subsequent releases of 'I'll Make Love to You' and 'One Sweet Day' (with Mariah Carey), which, at fourteen and sixteen weeks respectively, each set new records for the total number of weeks at number one. 'I'll Make Love to You' also topped the charts in Australia (for four weeks) and garnered international success. As of 2019, the record has been dethroned by Lil Nas X, whose single Old Town Road set a new all-time record with seventeen weeks at the top of the Hot 100, on the Billboard Hot 100 issue dated August 3, 2019.^[3]

Consequently, Boyz II Men is among the music industry's elite with regard to time spent at number one in Billboard history with 50 cumulative weeks, ranking fourth behind Presley, The Beatles, and Carey. Furthermore, when 'On Bended Knee' took the number one spot away from 'I'll Make Love to You', Boyz II Men became only the third artists ever (after The Beatles and Presley) to replace themselves at the top of the Billboard Hot 100.^[4] These achievements were enough to earn Boyz II Men recognition as Billboard magazine's biggest boy band during the period of 1987 to 2012.^[5]

Boyz II Men continue to perform worldwide, as a trio. Their most recent studio album, Under The Streetlight, was released in 2017.

In June 2017, a section of Broad Street (from Christian to Carpenter Streets) in Philadelphia was renamed 'Boyz II Men Boulevard'. This section of the street is near the High School for the Creative and Performing Arts, where the members once attended.

History[edit]

1985–1990: Beginnings[edit]

The group, originally known as Unique Attraction, was started by friends Nathan Morris and Marc Nelson at the Philadelphia High School for the Creative and Performing Arts (CAPA)^[6] along with fellow schoolmates George Baldi, Jon Shoats, and Marguerite Walker in 1985. In 1987, Wanya Morris, who sang in the school's choir along with the members of Unique Attraction, joined the group and became a permanent member since he was only a freshman. In 1988 Baldi, Shoats, and Walker all left the group due to graduation. They then recruited Shawn Stockman after seeing him perform a solo in the school's choir. One day Nate, Marc, Wanya and Shawn were practicing harmonies in a school bathroom and in walked Michael McCary who started singing along with the group and eventually became the group's new bass singer. Now with a permanent lineup of members the group rehearsed in the high school's bathrooms, due to the excellent acoustics, and on the corners of their schools and local hangouts. They found inspiration in New Edition's harmonies and routines, and eventually renamed the group 'Boyz II Men', after one of New Edition's songs, 'Boys to Men', from their 1988 album Heart Break. After performing at a Valentine's Day party at school in 1989 they got their big break when they snuck backstage at a concert in their hometown to sing for New Edition member Michael Bivins, who along with fellow groupmates Ricky Bell and Ronnie DeVoe just announced they were forming a New Edition spin-off trio Bell Biv DeVoe. After they sang New Edition's Can You Stand The Rain for him, Bivins and everyone in attendance including other celebrities were impressed. He then gave the group his number and told them to give him a call. Nate eventually called him, and he agreed to manage and helped produce the group.

The delay before recording their own material and reported personality conflicts led founding member Marc Nelson to leave the group, making Boyz II Men into the quartet that found international fame: Michael McCary, Nathan Morris, Wanya Morris, and Shawn Stockman.

1991: Cooleyhighharmony[edit]

Boyz II Men's first album, Cooleyhighharmony, was released on Motown in 1991 and was produced by Michael Bivins. Cooleyhighharmony's drum-heavy new jack swing sound and multi-layered sampled backdrops were similar to that of Bell Biv DeVoe's own work, but featured classic-soul styled vocals in place of BBD's rapping and brassier singing. This style was dubbed 'hip hopdoo-wop' by the group and Bivins, who presented Boyz II Men and adolescent R&B group Another Bad Creation to the public as BBD's protégés.

From the beginning, Boyz II Men featured all four members as leads, avoiding the usual R&B group arrangement of one or two lead singers and a team of background singers. The multiple-lead arrangement became a Boyz II Men trademark, and it became typical to hear Wanya Morris' vibrato-heavy tenor, Shawn Stockman's tenor voice, Nathan Morris' baritone, and Michael McCary's bass (often used in spoken-word sections of many Boyz II Men hits) trading bars in each song.

The album's liner notes identified unique nicknames for each member of the group. These nicknames were devised in collaboration with Bivins in an attempt at marketing. Wanya was 'Squirt', Shawn was 'Slim', Michael was simply 'Bass', and Nathan assumed the name 'Alex Vanderpool', after a soap opera character who brandished a nerdy style.^[7]

Boyz II Men's first single, the Dallas Austin-produced 'Motownphilly' featured a rap cameo by Michael Bivins that gives the story of how he met Boyz II Men. The single's release was accompanied with a music video that presented the group in hip hop style. (The video also included cameos from fellow Philadelphia High School for Creative and Performing Arts alumni Black Thought and Questlove of The Roots.) Cooleyhighharmony's second single was an a cappella cover of a classic Motown tune, G.C. Cameron's 'It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday' from the 1975 film Cooley High, while 'Uhh Ahh' served as the third single.

Cooleyhighharmony achieved major success, eventually selling over nine million copies and winning the Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals at the 1992 Grammy Awards.^[8] Boyz II Men were also nominated for Best New Artist, along with British singer-songwriter Seal, fellow R&B group Color Me Badd, as well as dance group C+C Music Factory, but the Grammy was awarded to singer-songwriter Marc Cohn. 'Motownphilly' and 'It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday' were number 1 R&B hits and top five U.S. pop hits.

In 1992, Boyz II Men joined MC Hammer's high-profile 2 Legit 2 Quittour as an opening act. While traveling the country, their tour manager Khalil Roundtree was murdered in Chicago, and the group's future performances of 'It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday' were dedicated to him. As a result of this unfortunate experience, the song helped advance their success.^[9]

1992: 'End of the Road'[edit]

While touring during 1992, Boyz II Men returned briefly to the studio to record the single 'End of the Road', co-written and produced by Kenneth 'Babyface' Edmonds, for the soundtrack to Eddie Murphy's film Boomerang. This song, released as a single on June 30, 1992, became Boyz II Men's biggest hit. It reached the number one position on the Billboard Hot 100 on August 22, remaining there for a record-setting 13 weeks, until November 14, 1992. The success of 'End of the Road' instantly transformed Boyz II Men from up-and-coming R&B stars into mainstream music celebrities.

A revamped Cooleyhighharmony was reissued during 1993, with 'End of the Road' added as a special bonus track, but 'End of the Road' initially appeared only on the Boomerang soundtrack. Later the track was included on a collection of singles produced by Michael Bivins called 'East Coast Family, Vol. 1'.^[10] Shortly after the release of this compilation, Boyz II Men and Michael Bivins parted ways professionally. Boyz II Men continued to work with Babyface and other high-profile record producers over the next several years.

1994: II[edit]

After releasing a Christmas compilation, Christmas Interpretations in 1993, Boyz II Men returned to the studio for their highly anticipated sophomore effort. In 1994, II was released. II sold more than 12 million copies in the United States alone, becoming one of the best-selling albums ever released by an R&B group act, and one of the biggest albums of the decade.

Most of the tracks on II were written and produced by Tim & Bob—Tim Kelley and Bob Robinson (5), Babyface (2) and the successful team of Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis (2). Several of II's tracks became major singles, among them Jam & Lewis's 'On Bended Knee', and Babyface's 'I'll Make Love to You' and 'Water Runs Dry'.

'I'll Make Love to You' broke 'End of the Road's' 13-week record at number 1, by spending 14 weeks at the top of the chart (a feat equaled earlier that year by Whitney Houston's cover of 'I Will Always Love You'). 'On Bended Knee' replaced 'I'll Make Love to You' at number 1, making Boyz II Men only the third act ever to replace itself at number 1 on the Hot 100, after Elvis Presley and The Beatles.^[4]

At the 37th Annual Grammy Awards on March 1, 1995, the group won two Grammy Awards: Best R&B Album for II and Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals for 'I'll Make Love to You'. In 1995, Boyz II Men appeared as guest artist on Michael Jackson's 'HIStory' album.

1997–1998: Evolution and label conflicts[edit]

Motown issued The Remix Collection, a compilation of remixes of various Boyz II Men songs from Cooleyhighharmony and II. The group itself had opposed the release of the collection, because they felt the compilation did not represent Boyz II Men's best work. After the label released the album without their permission, there was a dispute between the company and the group. Boyz II Men initiated their own recording company Stonecreek (which released material by artists such as Uncle Sam), and they arranged for Stonecreek's distribution by Epic Records, not Motown.

Boyz II Men's third studio album, Evolution, was released during 1997 to mixed reviews and sold three million copies, far below the stratospheric success of II's (12 million copies) and Cooleyhighharmony (9 million). Only one of Evolution's singles, the Jam/Lewis-penned 'Four Seasons of Loneliness', reached number 1 on the Hot 100 chart. The second single, the Babyface-helmed 'A Song for Mama' (the theme song to the Babyface-produced film Soul Food) was a Top 10 success, but the follow-up 'Can't Let Her Go' underperformed.

The global tour began in 1997 to promote Evolution was very successful in terms of ticket sales, but behind the scenes, Boyz II Men was wracked by conflicts with their record label and internal conflicts among the members of the group. Making matters worse, health problems began to take their toll on the group as well. While on tour to support the Evolution album, Wanya Morris developed a polyp on his vocal cords, and the group was forced to postpone part of the tour until he recovered. McCary's scoliosis meant that he was unable to participate in most of the group's dance routines.

Boyz II Men were nominated for 2 Grammys in 1998: Best R&B Album for Evolution and Best R&B Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group for 'A Song for Mama'.

1999–2001: Nathan Michael Shawn Wanya[edit]

In 1999, Motown's parent company, PolyGram, was bought by Universal Music Group. Amidst the major corporate restructure, Motown was merged with UMG's Universal Records, where Boyz II Men found themselves reassigned.

Their only studio LP album for Universal, 2000's Nathan Michael Shawn Wanya, was chiefly written and produced by the group itself, in an attempt to update their sound and ward off critics who questioned the group's reliance on Babyface's hit-making songcraft. While the critics were more receptive to Nathan Michael Shawn Wanya than they had been to its predecessor, the LP sold only 500,000 copies in the US, 1 million copies worldwide, and although its two singles, 'Pass You By' and 'Thank You in Advance' received media attention, neither became hits.

Boyz II Men departed from Universal in 2001, ending their relationship with the company that brought them to international stardom in 1991. The label released a very successful greatest hits compilation, Legacy: The Greatest Hits Collection, to close out their contract.

2002–2003: Full Circle and 'The Color of Love'[edit]

Signing a new deal with Arista Records in 2002, Boyz II Men began recording the Full Circle album, and recruited Babyface for a new single, 'The Color of Love'. In an attempt to recapture the massive success the group had enjoyed a decade earlier, the album received a significant promotional budget. Arista commissioned a high-budget music video, shot in four different locales by four different directors: supervising director Little X filmed scenes featuring Michael McCary in India, Hype Williams filmed Shawn Stockman in Tokyo, Benny Boom filmed Nathan Morris in Ghana, and Chris Robinson filmed Wanya Morris in Puerto Rico and finally all were filmed in New York. The resulting music video had a debut on BET, but failed to have a great effect, and Full Circle, like Nathan Michael Shawn Wanya before it, sold slightly more than 500,000 copies in the US and 1 million copies worldwide.

Full Circle became Boyz II Men's final album as a quartet, and their last effort to receive extensive promotion from a major record company. On January 30, 2003, Michael McCary left Boyz II Men due to chronic back problems resulting from multiple sclerosis (MS) and personal problems. Arista terminated Boyz II Men's contract on April 30, and the remaining three members took a temporary hiatus from the music industry.

2004–2006: Throwback, Vol. 1 and The Remedy[edit]

After a year out of the spotlight, Boyz II Men created the independent label MSM Music Group (distributed through Koch Records), and released the Throwback, Vol. 1 LP in 2004. The album is a collection of covers of classic R&B and soul songs such as The Dazz Band's 'Let It Whip', Michael Jackson's 'Human Nature', and, as the single, Bobby Caldwell's 'What You Won't Do for Love'. For this record, Nathan took on the bass lines as well as the baritone vocals that he sang when Boyz II Men was a quartet. Throwback, Vol. 1 reached number 59 on the Billboard 200. The group launched an independent tour of North America and Asia in support of the Throwback series. The album sold over 200,000 copies with little to no promotion aside from the group's independent tour.

In 2005 Boyz II Men recorded a CD with Anderson Cameau called 'Apocalypse', a project meant to benefit Haiti.^{[citation needed]}

In 2006, Boyz II Men's seventh studio album, The Remedy, was released exclusively in Japan, where they found a thriving fan base. In other regions, The Remedy was made available online through the group's website on February 14, 2007.

2007–2008: Hitsville USA[edit]

In mid-2007, the group re-signed with Universal Records and released the LP Motown: A Journey Through Hitsville USA through the Decca Records label. The LP is a cover album featuring songs from the Motown Records catalog, co-produced by Randy Jackson of American Idol fame. The Motown album includes covers of songs by The Temptations ('Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)'), Marvin Gaye ('Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing', 'Mercy Mercy Me'), Smokey Robinson & the Miracles ('The Tracks of My Tears'), and even Boyz II Men themselves (an a cappella version of 'End of the Road').

Commercially, Motown found some success. It peaked at number 6 on the US R&B chart, and was certified Gold in the UK. The album was also a critical success. For the 51st Annual Grammy Awards in 2009, Boyz II Men received two nominations for the album Motown: A Journey Through Hitsville USA (Best R&B Album and Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals for 'Ribbon in the Sky').

In 2008, Boyz II Men's three members appeared on Celebrity Don't Forget the Lyrics and created a sensation with their performance. They earned $500,000 for their two nominated charities; the appearance also generated interest in their next release.

2009: Love[edit]

In 2009, Boyz II Men announced plans for a new cover album, that covers 'artists I don't think people would expect us to cover!' according to Shawn Stockman. Entitled Love, the album was released on November 23, 2009. The album contains remakes of love songs from outside the R&B genre.

2011–2012: Love Cruise and Twenty[edit]

Boyz II Men headlined a 'Love Cruise' in honor of their 20th anniversary and in observance of Valentine's Day. The cruise took place February 11–14, 2011, and traveled from Miami, Florida, to Nassau, Bahamas. Cruise passengers received a Boyz II Men welcome cocktail party, a concert performance by Boyz II Men, an additional fan appreciation concert by Boyz II Men, a photo session with Boyz II Men (in small groups), a formal prom night, a poker tournament, a deck party with Boyz II Men and a guest DJ, a singles mixer, a gift bag, and onboard drawings for other Boyz II Men events. Couples were able to renew their wedding vows in a special ceremony with Boyz II Men.^[11]

Twenty, named in recognition of Boyz II Men's twenty years in the music business, is a double CD album with thirteen original songs and eight rerecorded Boyz II Men classics. It was released on October 25, 2011.^[12]Twenty is the group's fourth release through MSM Music Group. It was released in Japan 13 days before its official US release date with the help of Avex Group, the biggest Japaneseindependent record label.

Originally, Boyz II Men announced a reunion with original member Michael McCary for the Twenty album. On September 6, 2009, at a concert in Virginia Beach, Virginia, Stockman announced that their upcoming 20th anniversary album 'include all 4 members', sparking a tremendous applause.^[13]But soon after that announcement, McCary declined and did not join the project.

Boyz II Men contributed a cover of Japanese rock band L'Arc~en~Ciel's song 'Snow Drop' to their 2012 tribute album.^[14]

2013–present: The Package Tour, Collide, and Geico Commercials[edit]

On January 22, 2013, the group appeared on The View along with New Kids on the Block and 98 Degrees to announce their joint tour that took place in summer 2013.^[15] As of February 20, 2013 Boyz II Men announced that beginning March 1, 2013 they will stop touring and begin performing shows at the Mirage Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

On January 13, 2014, the trio appeared at the end of an episode of How I Met Your Mother titled 'Slapsgiving 3: Slappointment in Slapmarra', performing an a cappella version of the show's song 'You Just Got Slapped'. Their eleventh album, titled Collide, was released on October 21, 2014.^[16]

In 2016, the trio appeared in Grease: Live as the Teen Angels and sang Beauty School Dropout.^[17]Wanya placed 4th for the 22nd season of Dancing With The Stars. They also did music for an animated adaptation of The Snowy Day.^[18]

In 2017, the group began starring in television commercials for GEICO Auto Insurance.^[19]

On June 24, 2017 a section of Broad Street in Philadelphia, from Christian to Carpenter Streets, was renamed, “Boyz II Men Boulevard” by the city council. Philadelphia High School for the Creative and Performing Arts, where the members of Boyz II Men were once students, is on this section of Broad Street.^[20]

In August 2017, it was announced they were releasing a new album titled Under the Streetlight in the Fall.^[21] It was released on October 20, 2017.^[22][23]

On January 4, 2018, the group was featured in a new track released by Charlie Puth, titled 'If You Leave Me Now', created for Charlie Puth's album Voicenotes.

On September 6, 2018, the group performed at the NFL 2018-2019 season kickoff at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, PA.

On October 2, 2018, the group performed “Ladies Man” on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars. DeMarcus Ware and Lindsay Arnold danced a quickstep to the song.

The group are featured on a re-imagined version of Take That's song Love Ain't Here Anymore from their number one selling album Odyssey. Howard Donald revealed during an interview with Magic Radio that 'he fulfilled a dream when they recorded this song'.

On December 15, 2018, the group staged a concert at the Smart Araneta Coliseum with Filipino girl group DIVAS - a group composed of Kyla, Yeng Constantino, KZ Tandingan and Angeline Quinto titled Boyz II Men with DIVAS.^[24]

Style and influence[edit]

Boyz II Men is among the biggest names in a cappella and R&B. With what was called 'crossover appeal', Boyz II Men found themselves at the vanguard of the 1990s movement to take R&B back into the mainstream, where it had been back in the 1970s. Their use of hip-hop beats in combination with R&B was not unique, but it was Boyz II Men's enormous success with mainstream audiences in 'putting harmony over the hip-hop tracks' that helped usher in the near-total dominance of the R&B genre on the pop charts in the 2000s and 2010s.^[25] On January 5, 2012, Boyz II Men were awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.^[26]

II is the third studio album and second non-Christmas album (hence the title) by American R&B quartet Boyz II Men, released on August 30, 1994 on Motown Records.^[1] It contained the No. 1 singles 'I'll Make Love to You' and 'On Bended Knee', the latter of which replaced the former at the top of the Billboard Hot 100, making the group the third artist to replace themselves at No. 1 in the United States after Elvis Presley and The Beatles and the first to achieve the feat in 30 years.

'I'll Make Love to You' also spent 14 weeks at the top of the Hot 100 making them the first artist to achieve consecutive double digit runs at the top, with their prior single 'End of the Road' topping the charts for 13 weeks and also equaled the record set by Whitney Houston's 'I Will Always Love You' for the longest run at the top, a record which they held previously with 'End of the Road'. Other singles released achieved major success, including 'Water Runs Dry', which reached No. 2, and 'Thank You', which reached No. 21. 'Vibin', however, only reached No. 52.^[1]

Boyz Ii Men

The spoken track 'Khalil (Interlude)' is a tribute to their road manager Khalil Roundtree who was shot in Chicago, Illinois while the band was opening for MC Hammer's Too Legit to Quit tour.^[1]II became the inaugural winner of the Grammy Award for Best R&B Album, first presented at the 37th Grammy Awards in 1995.

According to producer Bob Robinson of the duo Tim & Bob, he and his partner Tim Kelley were asked by Boyz II Men to produce most of II. However, Motown Records then-president Jheryl Busby did not feel comfortable with the idea of two unknown producers dominating a second album from a group that was one of the biggest acts in the world at the time.^[1] As a result, Busby brought in Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis and Babyface to deliver hit singles for the project. Busby insisted on 'I'll Make Love to You' being the first single, despite objections from the group- who felt there were songs that could have been much stronger singles.^[1] The song became one of Boyz II Men's biggest hits.

Over 20 songs were recorded for II, but most of them never made the final track listing.^[1] Two of the songs Tim & Bob produced—'Now That We're Done' and 'Can I Touch You'—ended up on 112's 1996 self-titled debut.^[1]
