Boyz II Men – Legacy: The Greatest Hits Collection

Legacy is the right title for this album. Boyz II Men were the original, modern-day boy band, predating both ‘N Sync and the Backstreet Boys. Heavily influenced by doo-wop groups such as the Platters and the Dells and developed by ex-New Edition member Michael Bivins, Boyz II Men quickly rose to heavyweight status after the foursome’s 1991 debut, Cooleyhighharmony, their success based on romantic ballads and strong vocals.

However, they lacked the charisma and looks to really make an impact on the world, and they’re perhaps the only group that could be described as “quietly� selling 35 million records. This collection of their best moments concentrates on their strengths as crooning Cupids, exemplified by their massive hit and classic ballad “End of the Road� (taken from the Boomerang soundtrack). “Hey Lover,� featuring LL Cool J, is as energetic as the album gets.
