Boyz II Men[a] is an Americanvocal harmony group fromPhiladelphia,Pennsylvania, best known for emotionalballads anda cappella harmonies. Formed in 1985, they have been a trio composed of baritoneNathan Morris, tenorWanyá Morris, and tenorShawn Stockman since 2003. During the 1990s, Boyz II Men was a quartet with bass singerMichael McCary, who left the group in 2003 due to health issues after being diagnosed withmultiple sclerosis.[2]
The group first saw commercial success in 1991 with the release of their singles "Motownphilly" and "It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday," both of which peaked within the top five of theBillboard Hot 100. Their 1992 single, "End of the Road"[3] peaked atop the chart and set athen-record for spending 13 weeks at the position. Boyz II Men later broke this record twice more with the singles "I'll Make Love to You" and "One Sweet Day" (withMariah Carey) which, at 14 and 16 weeks respectively, set records for most weeks at number one. When "On Bended Knee" took the number one spot away from "I'll Make Love to You," Boyz II Men became the second musical act, afterthe Beatles, to replace themselves atop theBillboard Hot 100.[4] These achievements gave Boyz II Men recognition asBillboard magazine's biggestboy band from 1987 to 2012.[5]
Boyz II Men continued to perform as a trio despite McCary's departure. Their latest studio album,Under the Streetlight, was released in 2017.[6] Boyz II Men have received fourGrammy Awards. They also became the first group contestants to winThe Masked Singer where they competed as "Buffalos" inseason twelve.

The group, originally named Unique Attraction, was formed in 1985 by Nathan Morris and Marc Nelson at thePhiladelphia High School for the Creative and Performing Arts (CAPA)[7] along with fellow schoolmatesGeorge Baldi, Jon Shoats, and Marguerite Walker. In 1987, Wanyá Morris, who sang in the school's choir along with the members of Unique Attraction, joined the group and became a permanent member as a freshman. In 1988 Baldi, Shoats and Walker left the group due to graduation. They then recruited Shawn Stockman after seeing him perform a solo in the school's choir. After an encounter in a school bathroom, Michael McCary started singing along with the group and eventually became the group's new bass singer. With their permanent lineup of members, the group rehearsed in the high school's bathrooms, in the corners of their schools, and other local areas. At CAPA, they were mentored byLaDeva Davis.[8]
Finding inspiration inNew Edition's harmonies and routines, they eventually renamed the group "Boyz II Men," after New Edition's "Boys to Men," from the 1988 albumHeart Break. After performing at a Valentine's Day party at school in 1989, they snuck into a concert put on by local radio station Power 99 at thePhiladelphia Civic Center. They planned to findWill Smith backstage and perform for him.[9] However, while looking for Smith, they happened to cross paths with New Edition memberMichael Bivins, who, along with bandmatesRicky Bell andRonnie DeVoe, had 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 call him. Nate eventually called him, and he agreed to manage and help 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, Wanyá Morris, and Shawn Stockman.
Boyz II Men's first album,Cooleyhighharmony, was released on Motown in 1991 and was produced by Dallas Austin and the Characters.Cooleyhighharmony's drum-heavynew jack swing sound and multi-layeredsampled backdrops were similar to that ofBell Biv DeVoe's own work, but featured classic-soul styled vocals in place of BBD'srapping and brassiersinging. This style was dubbed "hip hopdoo-wop" by the group and Bivins, who presented Boyz II Men and adolescent R&B groupAnother 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 Wanyá Morris' vibrato-heavytenor, Shawn Stockman's tenor voice, Nathan Morris'baritone, and Michael McCary'sbass (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 group member. These nicknames were devised in collaboration with Bivins in an attempt at marketing. Wanyá 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.[10]
Boyz II Men's first single, theDallas Austin-produced "Motownphilly," featured a rap cameo byMichael Bivins that tells of how he met Boyz II Men. The single's release was accompanied by amusic video that presented the group in hip-hop style. (The video also included cameos from fellow Philadelphia High School for Creative and Performing Arts alumniBlack Thought andQuestlove ofThe 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 filmCooley High, while "Uhh Ahh" served as the third single.
Cooleyhighharmony achieved major success, selling over nine million copies and winning theGrammy Award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals at the1992 Grammy Awards.[11] Boyz II Men were also nominated forBest New Artist, along with British singer-songwriterSeal, fellow R&B groupColor Me Badd, and dance groupC+C Music Factory, but the Grammy was awarded to singer-songwriterMarc 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 joinedMC Hammer's high-profile2 Legit 2 QuitTour as anopening act. While traveling the country, their tour manager Roderick 'Khalil' Rountree was murdered inChicago, 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.[12]
While touring during 1992, Boyz II Men returned briefly to the studio to record the single "End of the Road," co-written and produced byKenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, for the soundtrack toEddie Murphy's filmBoomerang. This song, released as a single on June 30, 1992, became Boyz II Men's biggest hit. It reached the number one position on theBillboard Hot 100 on August 15, remaining 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 revampedCooleyhighharmony was reissued during 1993, with "End of the Road" added as a special bonus track, but "End of the Road" initially appeared only on theBoomerang soundtrack. Later, the track was included in a collection of singles produced by Michael Bivins called "East Coast Family, Vol. 1".[13] 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.
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 than12 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.II later won two awards at the1995 Grammy Awards, includingBest R&B Album.
Most of the tracks onII were written and produced byTim & Bob—Tim Kelley and Bob Robinson (5), Babyface (2) and the successful team ofJimmy Jam and Terry Lewis (2). Several ofII'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 byWhitney 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 theBillboard Hot 100 chart, after Elvis Presley and the Beatles.[14]
In 1995, the group appeared as backing vocalists on "HIStory" from Michael Jackson's Grammy-nominated ninthalbum of the same name.
In 1995, Motown issuedThe Remix Collection, a compilation ofremixes of various Boyz II Men songs fromCooleyhighharmony andII. The group itself had opposed the release of the collection because they felt the compilation did not represent Boyz II Men's best work.[15] 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 asUncle Sam), and they arranged for Stonecreek's distribution byEpic 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 ofII's (12 million copies) andCooleyhighharmony (9 million). Only one ofEvolution'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 filmSoul Food,) was a Top 10 success, but the follow-up "Can't Let Her Go" underperformed.
The global tour began in 1997 to promoteEvolution was 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. While on tour to support theEvolution album, Wanyá Morris developed apolyp on hisvocal cords, and the group was forced to postpone part of the tour until he recovered. McCary's multiple sclerosis 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 forEvolution and Best R&B Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group for "A Song for Mama".
In 1999, Motown's parent company,PolyGram, was bought byUniversal 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'sNathan 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 toNathan 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 agreatest hits compilation,Legacy: The Greatest Hits Collection, to close out their contract.
Signing a new deal with Arista Records in 2002, Boyz II Men began recording theFull 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 directorLittle X filmed scenes featuring Michael McCary in India,Hype Williams filmed Shawn Stockman inTokyo,Benny Boom filmed Nathan Morris inGhana, andChris Robinson filmed Wanyá Morris inPuerto Rico and finally all were filmed in New York. The resulting music video had a debut onBET, but failed to have a great effect, andFull Circle, likeNathan Michael Shawn Wanya before it, sold slightly more than 500,000 copies in the US and1 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. OnJanuary 30, 2003, Michael McCary left Boyz II Men due to chronicback problems resulting frommultiple sclerosis (MS) and personal problems. Arista terminated Boyz II Men's contract onApril 30, and the remaining three members took a temporary hiatus from the music industry.
After a year out of the spotlight, Boyz II Men created the independent label MSM Music Group (distributed throughKoch Records), and released theThrowback, Vol. 1 LP in 2004. The album is a collection of covers of classic R&B and soul songs such asThe 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 theThrowback 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 benefitHaiti.[16]
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 onFebruary 14, 2007.
In mid-2007, the group re-signed with Universal Records and released the LPMotown: A Journey Through Hitsville USA through theDecca Records label. The LP is acover album featuring songs from the Motown Records catalog, co-produced byRandy Jackson ofAmerican Idol fame. TheMotown 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 albumMotown: 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 CelebrityDon'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.
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. EntitledLove, the album was released onNovember 23, 2009. The album contains remakes of love songs from outside the R&B genre.
Boyz II Men headlined a "Love Cruise" in honor of their 20th anniversary and in observance ofValentine's Day. The cruise took placeFebruary 11–14, 2011, and traveled fromMiami, Florida, toNassau, Bahamas.

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.[39] On January 5, 2012, Boyz II Men were awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.[40] They were featured on the first episode of the 2021Netflix seriesThis Is Pop, called "The Boyz II Men Effect", about their impact on the boy band scene in the 1990s.[41]
