According to no less an authority than the RIAA, Boyz II Men are the most commercially successful R&B groups of all time. They've sold tens of millions of records and been involved in three of the longest-running number-one pop singles in history.
Boyz II Men had their big break n 1989, when they snuck backstage at a Bell Biv DeVoe concert and wowed group member Michael Bivins with an a cappella version of New Edition's "Can You Stand the Rain." Bivins offered them a deal right there. and soon they entered the studio to record their debut album, Cooleyhighharmony, for Motown Records. It's first single, the uptempo dance track "Motownphilly," rocketed up the charts, going Top Five pop and number one R&B on its way to platinum sales. The a cappella ballad "It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday," also hit the pop Top Five and topped the R&B charts, and went gold. Meanwhile, the album won a Grammy for Best R&B Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group, although nothing could have foreshadowed the group's Midas touch over the next few years. Briefly entering the studio in between concert gigs, Boyz II Men cut a smooth Babyface ballad called "End of the Road" for the soundtrack of the Eddie Murphy film Boomerang. Released as a single, it became not just a blockbuster, but one of the biggest hits in history; it spent 13 weeks at number one on the pop charts, an incredible run that broke the record of 11 weeks Elvis Presley had held ever since 1956 with the double-sided single "Don't Be Cruel"/"Hound Dog." "End of the Road" won a slew of awards and cemented Boyz II Men's star status beyond any doubt.
The post-"End of the Road" buzz helped make Boyz II Men's next album, II, an instant smash when it arrived in 1994, debuting at number one on its way to sales of over 12-million copies. The first single, "I'll Make Love to You", raced up the charts and wound up tying Whitney Houston's record, with 14 weeks at number one - a staggering feat in itself, made all the more amazing by the fact that the group had already set the record once. Moreover, the follow-up single "On Bended Knee" actually replaced "I'll Make Love to You" at number one for a six-week run of its own; only Elvis and the Beatles had ever replaced themselves at number one. TTheir bigges hit, however, was a song done with Mariah Carey called "One Sweet Day." Featuring two of the biggest chart powerhouses in the industry, "One Sweet Day" was virtually a guaranteed blockbuster, and it went on to spend 16 weeks at number one on the pop charts, debuting there in December 1995; it was the third such record-setting single of Boyz II Men's career.
Since then, the group has continued to release hit after hit proving over and over that they are far from "The End of the Road."
