Though they did the bulk of their promotions in 2009, veteran R&B crooners Boyz II Men continue to head out through June with a sporadic set of dates singing classic hits and beats. The trio released the album Love last year, just two years after their first major label release in five years, and have been performing those slow jams since March 2009.

In January 2010 just as the trio was preparing to tour yet again, they announced their once again failed attempts at recruiting long time bass singer Mike McCary to the group. The trio, as they write on their website, “are willing to do whatever it takes to fight for this institution we call Boyz II Men….there will definitely be a 20th anniversary celebration, but it will be without Mike McCary.” Celebrating two decades together, the trio continues to harmonize as they make their way across the country with tour dates through the summer.

For many years, Boyz II Men were the R&B group – performing to millions of fans around the world and hailed as the most commercially successful R&B outfit of all time. Their most recent tunes have been coming in the form of threes, as they follow up 2007’sGrammy nominated Motown: A Journey Through Hitsville USA with the 2009 release Love. The album comes just as the boys, or men rather, celebrate their 20th anniversary.

The group – Wanya Morris, Nathan Morris and Shawn Stockman – is a commercially distinctive collaboration and paired with Randy Jackson for the album, also earning time on Jackson’s shows. The set seamlessly portrays the veteran musicians in a familiar light, as they sing classic numbers showcasing their provocative vocal chords. “The success of Motown definitely upped our visibility insofar as being able to tour more, in bigger venues, in more cities and more countries,” Stockman said on the ban’s website.

Though Boyz II Men, seemingly off the international radar for several years, kept up a constant touring basis of about 150-200 concerts annually, Motown was the first major release in half a decade. “The beautiful thing was that we already had shows booked in Europe and Japan, as we’ve done almost every year for many years,” Morris said. “But performing the Motown songs was the best album promotion we could have done. And we felt the same effect back in the States as we did overseas…” The result was another expertly produced album that saw comeback results. Love peaked at No. 14 on the R&B Albums charts, while “I Can’t Make You Love Me” made the Hot R&B/ Hip-Hop Songs chart.

Their veteran harmonizing skills were evident on the Motown episode, while Love turned the group into a sensation thanks to their own hits as well. Boyz II Men first formed in 1988 at Philadelphia’s High School of the Creative and Performing Arts; their voices blended together well as Unique Attraction that they grabbed a record deal after sneaking into a Bell Vib DeVoe concert. The group released the debut Cooleyhighharmony with Motown Records in 1991 and saw success with the first single, “Motownphilly.”
