Compilation producer: Harry Weinger. Includes liner notes by Traci J. Jordan This is part of "20th Century Masters: The Millenium Collection" series. A concise 10-track overview of Boyz II Men's early-1990s winning streak, this installment of 20TH CENTURY MASTERS presents the Philadelphia-based R&B vocal group's biggest singles, along with a few strong lesser-known tunes. Front-loaded with the massive, harmony-soaked hit ballads "End of the Road" and "It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday," the compilation also includes the hip-hop-tinged "Motownphilly" and the sensual slow jam "Uhh Ahh," revealing the range of the amazingly successful quartet.
While rap music was the music of choice on the urban charts and radio playlists by the late 1980s/early '90s, vocal group Boyz II Men re-introduced the merits of soul and contemporary R&B, laden with perfectly executed harmonies. The group became one of the most successful chart acts of the '90s, especially when their 1992 single, "The End of the Road," set the record for most weeks atop the Billboard charts, a record which they would subsequently reclaim in 1996 with the duet with Mariah Carey, "One Sweet Day."
