Boyz II Men is an American rhythm and blues group from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Initiated during 1988 as a quintet which originally included Marc Nelson, Boyz II Men found fame as a quartet, with members Nathan Morris, Michael McCary, Shawn Stockman,and Wanya Morris on Motown Records during the early 1990s. Nelson left the group before their first recording to pursue a solo career. The group initially premiered with a new jack swing-style music.

Based on sales, Boyz II Men is the most successful R&B male vocal group of all time. They recorded five number 1 R&B successes between 1992 and 1997 and have sold more than 60 million albums. Three of its number 1 hits, “End of the Road”, “I’ll Make Love to You”, and “One Sweet Day” (with Mariah Carey), set and exceeded records for the longest period of time a single remained scored at number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100; “One Sweet Day” still holds the record.

Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins and Ron DeVoe, AKA “Bell-Biv-DeVoe”, (BBD) have been bridging the gap between R&B and Hip-Hop music with a pop-feel-appeal-to-it for more than 20 years.
A direct byproduct of the hugely successful 1980′s vocal quintet “New Edition”, “BBD” merged the irresistible sounds of Hip-Hop beats, New Jack Swing and R&B harmonies. The result was the1990′s explosive debut album, “Poison.” Selling more 4 million copies, the “Poison” LP spawned four chart topping singles including “Do Me!” “BBD…I Thought It Was Me,” “When Will I see You Smile Again” and the ever-enduring, partystarting platinum selling title track “Poison.” In 1991, the group followed up their debut album with “WBBD-Bootcity” (A Remix LP). “Bootcity” sold over 700,000 units. In 1993, BBD released their gold-certified “Hootie Mack” LP that produced the sultry hit ballad “Something In Your Eyes.” In 1996, “BBD” rejoined their childhood comrades Bobby Brown, Ralph Tresvant and Johnny Gill to record New Edition’s multi-platinum reunion album “Home Again.” “Home Again” sold more than 2 Million units and birthed a reunion tour for the ages. In 2002 BBD released their third studio album “BBD” which produced the red-hot club-banger “Da Hot Sh*t” co-written by BBD and produced by Rockwilder.
