This group is still one of many amazing 90’s groups of all time, in my opinion. Marc Nelson, came back up in the mid 90’s and was able get his own notoriety after he broke away from his original group: “Boyz 11 Men.” To me Az Yet was his second coming and his reinvention of himself as a group member and as a solo artist years later.

All I know is _Last Night_ and a number of sweet childhood memories that come behind it. I never bothered to invest in they debut LP, however I had that CD single spinning on repeat for hours on end though. They just weren't important enough for me to care about beyond _Last Night._ They obviously weren't programmed by the wizards. Perhaps one day I'll go back and listen to they debut LP, but until then, that's pretty much it for me, Sis. Oh and LOL at BLAYSE!

Marc Nelson should have rejoined Boyz II Men when the base Singer got to sick to tour. They would have been a Quartet again and he was an original member. That would have given his career and their careers a boost. What a shame no one thought about that. Boyz II .en have lost a lot of buzz and a reunion with him could have created some interest.
