Under the guidance of Michael Bivins of Bell Biv Devoe, the four-man vocal
group Boyz II Men became a pop sensation in1992. Although they call their
music "hip-hop doo wop," there's very little traditional doo wop in it. Instead,
they bring the sound of '60s and early-'70s R&B vocal groups into the '90s,
adding a little New Jack swing to that timeless sound. Their 1991 debut,
Cooleyhighharmony, featured a massive hit single, "Motownphilly" which
exemplifies the best of their dance work. Their second single, a ballad called
"It's So Hard to Say Goodbye," was an even bigger hit; its success paved the
way for "The End of the Road" (taken from the Boomerang soundtrack), the
group's follow-up single, which broke Elvis Presley's record for the most weeks
spent at number one. After releasing a Christmas album in 1993, Boyz II Men
went to work on their second album, which appeared in the fall of 1994.
II proved to be even more successful than its predecessor, selling over seven
million copies by summer of 1995 and spawning the record-breaking hit "I'll
Make Love to You." Evolution followed in 1997 and their long-awaited fourth
album Nathan Michael Shawn Wanya was issued three years later.
While it received better reviews than Evolution, it continued the group's
downward commercial slide, only going gold and producing a smaller-
scale hit in "Pass You By." The group subsequently signed with Arista
Records. In summer 2002, Boyz II Men kept with their sophisticated
approach for the aptly titled release Full Circle.
