With its smooth brand of doo-wop/hip-hop, Boyz II Men has spearheaded the renaissance of the R&B vocal group, in the process revitalizing Motown Records (the band has become Motown's best-selling act, and its second album, Boyz II Men II, is the label's best-selling album of all time). The Boyz have sold over thirty million albums worldwide as of the first half of 1997, and have managed to capture plenty of awards--not to mention plenty of hearts--along the way. The Boyz II Men story begins in 1988, at the Creative & Performing Arts High School of hiladelphia, where Shawn Stockman, Wanya Morris, Nate Morris (no relation), and Mike McCary first discovered that the sum of their four voices was definitely greater than the individual parts. Besides singing at school, they honed their harmonizing skills by singing on street corners and on subway platforms, billing themselves as Unique Attraction. Believing that things would start to happen for them professionally if they could just get heard by the right person, they charmed their way backstage at a 1989 show at the Philadelphia Civic Center, where they knew their idol, Michael Bivins (of New Edition and Bel Biv Devoe fame) would be. When they tracked Bivins down, they convinced him to listen to their a cappella version of the New Edition song "Can You Stand the Rain." Also present in the impromptu audience were Paula Abdul, Cherrelle, Keith Sweat, and Kid 'n Play. Bivins was definitely impressed by their singing: he gave them his phone number, and after they had pestered him enough, he became their manager and succeeded in negotiating a deal for them with Motown. Bivins suggested that they change their name, and so Unique Attraction became Boyz II Men, which is the title of a New Edition song off the Heartbreak album. The newly baptized Boyz II Men's debut album, Cooleyhighharmony--named after a 1975 blaxploitation comedy called Cooley High--was released in May of 1991. It didn't take long for the band to conquer the radio airwaves: the first single, "Motownphilly," vaulted up to No. 3 on the Billboard singles chart by July. The second single, a remake of "It's So Hard To Say Goodbye to Yesterday" (the song originally appeared on the Cooley High soundtrack), hit the No. 2 position in October. To date, the album has sold more than seven million copies in the U.S. alone.
