Boyz II Men remains one of the most truly iconic R&B groups in music history. The trio, which includes Nathan Morris, Wanya Morris, and Shawn Stockman, holds the distinction of being the best-selling R&B group of all time, with an astounding 60 million albums sold, 4 Grammy Awards, 9 American Music Awards, 9 Soul Train Awards, 3 Billboard Awards, and a 2011 MOBO Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, as well and a Casino Entertainment Award for their acclaimed residency at the Mirage Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, which has been ongoing since 2013.
Nathan, Wanye and Shawn discuss their rise to fame, how they've persevered through challenges along the way, and the secret to their partnership remaining so strong after an incredible 27 years in the limelight.
Moderated by Valeisha Butterfield Jones.

They are amazing, but I must say, I saw them live in 2018, and I had no IDEA Nate could sing live like that. He was singing so loudly and clearly that it was OVERWHELMING to listen to. I was shocked. They all sounded great (Wanya is one of the best singers ever), but Nate shocked me.

I so agree! They can put their feelings out once and for all, Mike included, and no more sound bites and this stance and that stance. Put it all in one biopic and put it to rest. They need to heal also. The idea that they don't speak to him is very sad. I went back and watched every video again and noticed Mike has a cane in every video. I may also be sensitive to his plight because I, too, have MS and understand how isolating it is. That's me, a woman, in today's more inclusive environment. MS is better understood. It just needs to be put to rest. They are family and came up together. Most talented group out there ❤️

They have REAL talent and oh their harmonies! Everybody can't sing and doesn't have this kind of talent. That's why they have sustained and are so highly regarded with millions of sales to the credit! Great comment Shawn at 39:00 about having conversations. An important "sense" that people won't feel clearly via text is what a person's energy "feels" like. So happy he talked about conversations and not to skip steps even in relationships! BRAVO!

They reached their peak in the 90s. They keep.doing music now, not to better there accomplishments but for the love of music. Yes, Mike wanted to come back and the guys even wanted it to happen. Unfortunately, he was still wanting an even cut. Truth of the matter is, he been gone since 2000 AWOL many times. Music is one thing but business is another. He is not good for business. The guys were ready to work with him again though, despite 20 years of absence. It was his pecuniary demands that they couldnt agree on. It is a shame but why risk getting burnt twice.
