About Boyz II Men
Boyz II Men joined Philadelphia vocal traditions with Motown and the rhythm of contemporary R&B. Nathan Morris, Michael McCary, Shawn Stockman and Wanya Morris formed the quartet introduced through Cooleyhighharmony. Their repertoire moved between rhythmic songs such as Motownphilly and layered ballads including End of the Road. The album II continued that emphasis on harmony with I'll Make Love to You and On Bended Knee.
