founded during 1988 at the Philadelphia High School. Nathan Morris formed the group and asked Wanye Morris and Shawn Stockman and bass Michael McCary to form a group. The group would rehearse in the high school's bathrooms, due to the excellent acoustics. They then decided to change the name of the group to Boyz II Men.

Motown Records

Boyz II Men managed to get backstage at Bell Biv DeVoe’s concert where they met an aspiring record producer Michael Bivins. On the spot, Boyz II Men performed an acapella version of ‘Can You Stand The Rain’ to which Michael Bivins automatically was impressed by and began plans to contract them to Motown Records through a production deal with his Biv Ten Records company.

End Of The Road

In 1992, Boyz II Men recorded End of The Road, which is arguably there greatest song. The rumour was they recorded the song in under 4 hours. End Of the Road reached number 1 position on the ‘Billboards Hot 100’ and broke the record by staying there for 13 executive weeks and they had gone from an up-and-coming R&B stars to mainstream celebrities. This song then set the tone for the rest of their career. They established themselves as a family act. Also, the fact that their songs are so relatable benefits them, as it entices people to listen to more songs.
