Boyz II Men With Special Guest Eric Benet

If you were conscious during the ’90s, chances are you were familiar with R&B vocal group Boyz II Men. There was no escaping the smooth crooning, the exquisite harmonies and the mass-appealing brand of soul. The Philly Boyz hit on a creative formula that sounded youthful and mature all at once, so it roped in fans of all ages. Who can forget the chart-topping smashes “End of the Road,” “I’ll Make Love to You,” “On Bended Knee” and of course the huge collaboration with Mariah Carey, “One Sweet Day”? Those heady years are gone, but Boyz II Men forge on. The group’s most recent album, 2007’s "Motown: A Journey Through Hitsville USA," is an irresistible foray into R&B and pop gems released on the iconic record label. How cool to hear the Boyz lovingly sing the Commodores’ “Easy” and DeBarge’s “All This Love,” two wonderful ballads usually ignored when tackling the Motown oeuvre. These guys just need a great song. Then they can work their vocal magic.
