Boyz II Men是一只多才多艺的、近乎完美的青少年偶像组合,在90年代初期他们就以自己最初的单曲“Motownphilly”在美国获得巨大的成功。他们的成员包括Wanya “Squirt” Morris(于1973年7月29日出生在美国Pennsylvania州的费城),Michael “Bass”McCary(于1972年12月16日出生在美国Pennsylvania州的费城),Shawn “Slim” Stockman(1972年9月26日出生)和Nathan “Alex-Vanderpool” Morris(1971年6月18出生)。他们在费城的High school Of Creative And Performing Arts高中结识,并于1998年组成了他们自己的乐队。Bell Biy Devoe的MichaelBivins将他们收于自己门下并将他们介绍到Motown Records唱片公司。
他们的首张专辑在美国销量非常好,这张专辑一面是舞曲,一面是民谣。直止1993年的年中,这张专辑仍以超过7百万的销量位于美国排行榜前列。当他们一年后下一张专辑发行时,这种情况再次发生:在不到一年的时间里在美国总共售出8百万张。这张专辑的主打歌是 “I*ll Make Love To You”,这支歌14周位居美国排行榜的前列。除此而外还包括其它两个登上排行榜宝座的单曲“On Bended Knee”和“One Sweet Day”(与Ray Kelly合作演唱)。乐队还制定了自己的目标--Stonecreek。
A Song For Mama
you taught me everything
and everything you've given me
i always keep it inside
you're the driving force in my life, yeah
there isn't anything
or anyone i can be
and it just wouldn't feel right
if i didn't have you by my side
you were there for me to love and care for me
when skies were grey
whenever i was down
you were always there to comfort me
and no one else can be what you have been to me
you'll always be you always will be the girl
in my life for all times
mama, mama you know i love you
oh you know i love you
mama, mama you're the queen of my heart
your love is like tears from the stars
mama, i just want you to know
lovin' you is like food to my soul
you're always down for me
have always been around for me even when i was bad
you showed me right from my wrong
yes you did
and you took up for me
when everyone was downin' me
you always did understand
you gave me strength to go on
there was so many times
looking back when i was so afraid
and then you come to me
and say to me i can face anything
and no one else can do
what you have done for me
you'll always be
you will always be the girl in my life
