Get ready to groove to the chart-topping, multi-award-winning US R&B pioneers who brought us the likes of End of the Road and I’ll Make Love To You.

The soulful superstars, known for emotional ballads and a cappella harmonies are coming to the capital for one night only on January 23 to perform at Doha Golf Club for what promises to be an evening of great music and a certain nostalgia.

Celebrating 40 years together this year, the group was formed in 1985 and consists of baritone Nathan Morris alongside tenors Wanyá Morris (no relation) and Shawn Stockman. In their 1990s’ heyday, they performed as a quartet with bass singer, Michael McCary, who left the group in 2003 due to health issues.

Hailing from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the members were all students at the Philadelphia High School for the Creative and Performing Arts, initially being managed and produced by another high profile boy bander, Michael Bivins of New Edition.

The band’s early commercial success saw singles Motownphilly and It’s So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday peaking within Billboard Hot 100’s top five. But it was 1992’s soulful End of the Road that put them on the path to international stardom after it topped the charts for a record-breaking 13 weeks.

They went on to break this record twice with 1994’s I’ll Make Love To You, which held the number one spot for 14 weeks, and One Sweet Day, with Mariah Carey, which stayed at the top of the charts for 16 weeks in 1995.

Over the years, the group went on to win four Grammies, seven American Music Awards as well as numerous other accolades and they just kept on creating slick harmonies, never splitting or launching solo careers, as so many of their compatriots did.

They’ve released 14 studio albums, most recently 2017’s Under The Streetlight. In the US alone, Boyz II Men have sold 25 million albums and that’s without those record-breaking singles! They’ve also made numerous film and TV appearances, so it’s no surprise that the ‘boys’ from Philly are recognised as some of the most influential performers of their era and generation.

And it’s far from the end of the road as the talented songsters are currently undertaking a 29-date tour across the US and Canada as well as the Middle East where tickets are expected to be in high demand, though details had not been released as we went to press. ✤
