Shawn Stockman, Wanya Morris and Nathan Morris who happen to be the remaining members of Boyz II Men, the most successful Grammy Award winning R&B male group of all time, performed and signed copies of their new CD Motown: A Journey Through Hitsville USA at FYE in their hometown of Philadelphia Tuesday night. On Motown: A Journey Through Hitsville USA we hear the fellas not only pay tribute to, but also sing their own renditions of such Motown classic hits as The Temptations Just My Imagination, The Miracles Tracks Of My Tears, The Four Tops It's the Same Old Song/Reach Out I'll Be There, Stevie Wonder's Ribbon In the Sky, Marvin's Gaye Mercy, Mercy Me and more all produced by American Idol judge Randy Jackson.
During their reign from 1992 to 1997, Boyz II Men sold 90 million albums and 50 million singles worldwide. I knew these guys were successful, but I didn't fathom just how much. FYI: Three of their #1 hits, End of the Road, I'll Make Love to You, and One Sweet Day (with Mariah Carey), set and broke records for the longest period of time a single remained at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. You learn something new everyday, huh?
Baritone-bassed and fourth member Michael McCary left the group and retired from music altogether back in 2003 (after the release of their 2002 Full Circle album) after being diagnosed with severe scoliosis...a chronic back ailment.
