Three of their #1 hits, "End of the Road", "I'll Make Love to You", and "One Sweet Day" (a duet with Mariah Carey), set and broke records for the longest period of time a single remained at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Boyz II Men were originally signed to Motown Records from 1990 to 2000, at which point they were moved to parent label Universal Records. After the 2000 album Nathan Shawn Michael Wanya, Boyz II Men moved to Arista Records. In 2003, Michael McCary left the group due to chronic back problems resulting from scoliosis. As of 2005, Wanya Morris, Shawn Stockman, and Nathan Morris continue to tour and record as a trio.

I know you've heard this line a thousand times that
The way you look tonight just blow my mind
Let's go some place for we could talk a while
Cause I don't wanna lose this vibe
Don't wanna push you but where are your friends yeah

Don't wanna waste your time (I don't wanna waste your time)
Sit back and relax your mind (relax your mind)
I wanna be what you need and more
Just tell me what you like (what you like, what you like)
Girl are you hungry let me cook for you
My place is near just right out a park we knew
I know a place that's just not too far away
Flight first class New York to LA
Listen, I know you're feeling me

This group has been extraordinary throughout their career. Since Motownphilly and Please Dont Go. Boyz II Men taught me how to sing! You hear me without even meeting them. These are the best R&B Group.

@lateshiachilds3640
I love my Boyz II Men been a fan since 1991, I own all of their CDs. I will never forget buying this CD in 2002 and putting it in my CD player and when this song started I was blown away again. Then to have one of my favorite female singers Faith on the track made the song even better.
@Celestias
By far their best song. Literally makes my heart shudder.
@dominiquebanks6957
I could listen to this song all day😍
@esloan4050
Really good song...they should do some more duets...GREAT VOICES...
@jus3278
Them boys from Philly had a deep bag. Underrated classic joint from them. Proved that they could do the neo-soul and step vibe tracks if need be. And Faith at the end was just the cherry on top. Some of the greatest R&B vocalists ever here over smooth production.
