Michael Bivens of New Edition/Bell Biv DeVoe signed them and as well as the kid group, Another Bad Creation. You’ll hear references to the East Coast Family, ABC, BBD in a lot of the songs. Boys II Men absolutely dominated the 90s along with Mariah Carey. Other great 90s R&B to check out: Jodeci, Tevin Campbell, SWV, Shai, Xscape, Luther Vandross, Monica. There’s so many really. Every genre in the 90s was bursting with talent.
I felt the same way the first time I ever heard this song!! Im 44 years old and everyone that knows me knows that this is my ALL time favorite song 4ever!!❤❤❤
It is a great thing!! One of the best R&B groups of all time. - And to think that they were all only in their late teens very early twenties at that time
best R&B group of all time, I love your 2pac reactions, welcome to the rest of living through the 80s and 90s when every genre of music was fantastic, Boyz 2men are legends, iconic
I'm a boomer. The first time I heard this song, decades ago, I fell in love with it and the group. Some people have covered it, some good, some not so good. But, NOBODY does it like they do it. Nobody.
1st sanger is Nate Morris, 2nd sanger is Shawn Stockman, 3rd sanger is Wanye (Wan-yay) Morris (Nate’s brother) and the deep voice talking is Michael McCary.
You need to react to them doing Open Arms which takes the breathe away from many people the first time they hear it. Also, you need to listen to On Bended Knee and I’ll Make Love To You.
Summer of 92. The memories!!!!! This song was #1 on the Billboard charts for a record 12 weeks in a row. Funny thing is, it was replaced at the top spot by I Will Always Love You by Whitney, which stayed at #1 for 13 weeks, and broke Boyz II Men's record!!!! With those 2 songs burning the airwaves in 92, there must've been a baby boom in 93. Just sayin. Music was awesome back then.
I was their age back then and the guy with the deep voice. He wasn’t talking for none of the brothers I knew back then. He was SIMPING for the ladies due to his lack of singing abilities.
