II MEN - returns in full force with their new album, EVOLUTION.
This album features the #1 smash single '4 Seasons of Loneliness' (Written
& produced by Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis) as well as 'A Song For
Mama' (Written and produced by Babyface) from the new movie SOUL FOOD.
Be sure to check out the #1 vocal group of all time on November 13th
on BET's Planet Groove.
In
1990-only two years after Shawn Stockman, Nathan Morris, Michael McCary,
and Wanya Morris came together at Philadelphia's School for Creative
and Performing Arts, Boyz II Men released an album that would challenge
every record set during the rock era.
Cooley High Harmony, now at 9 million units and counting, became the
biggest-selling album ever released by an R&B group. But could they
do it again?
Boyz II Men's next studio album, II, released in September, 1994, reached
a stunning 11 million units in 1995. It was boosted by a record-breaking
single, "I'll Make Love To You," which claimed the #1 spot
for 14 weeks, tying Whitney Houston for the all-time record.
Boyz II Men have also reached platinum status with their other releases:
Christmas Interpretations, The Remix Collection, and their video compilation,
Then II Now.
Boys 2 Men were an instant sensation on the R&B pop charts with
their 1993 release of Cooleyhighharmony, which featured the blockbuster
"Motownphilly," and dulcet melody of "It's So Hard To
Say Goodbye." Their 60's street harmony and hip-hop doo wop style
serves as the foundation for the groups' exceptional vocals which, at
times a cappella, meld the five-men Boyz 2 Men into one living and golden
entity as exemplified by their single "The End of the Road,"
which set a new record for its No. 1 position on the charts. After the
release of Colleyhighharmony by Motown, Boys 2 Men followed with the
album "II," released in 1996, again breaking the charts with
their single, "I'll Make Love to You."
Boyz II Men returns in full force with their new album, EVOLUTION. This

THE MOFFATTS
- Scott "Elvis" Moffatt was born on March 30, 1983. Being
the oldest of the four brothers, Scott is pretty much considered the
leader of the group, both in vocals and on the electric guitar. When
the brothers did their first videos back in March of 1995, he helped
shoot some of the shots that ended up in the video. This later influenced
him when the second video release came out, where each of the brothers
took turns videotaping different segments. Scott is right-handed and
loves to listen to Nirvana, Bush, The Beatles, The Doors, Garth Brooks,
Dwight Yoakam, Elvis, Bon Jovi and Silverchair.
Clint "C.T." Moffatt is the oldest of the three triplets,
born on March 8, 1984 in Vaancouver, British Columbia. Like his brother,
Scott, Clint also chose the guitar as his instrument of choice, but
he chose the bass guitar. Like all of his brothers, he is right handed.
Clint likes to listen to Bryan Adams, The Beatles, Michael Jackson,
The Beach Boys and Silverchair. One of the best things Clint likes about
being a performer is travelling around the country - and now the world!
Clint maintains that the coolest experience he has ever had was when
they were asked to sing the National Anthem at Texas Stadium.
Bob "Duke" Moffatt is the middle of the triplets, he and Clint
are identical twins. Bob chose the drums to pound his way to instrumental
success. Bob has said many times that the best thing he loves about
being with the group and performing is that he likes making people happy.
Contrary to what has been reported, Bob is also right handed. Bob's
coolest experience was when he got his first drum set. Grab a couple
C.S. Lewis books to win Bob's attention.
Dave "Big D" Moffatt was born with twins on March 8, 1984.
Dave sings lead vocals on many songs and also the high harmony parts.
Dave's instrument of choice is the keyboard. Dave is the one who got
The Moffatts started in their singing career when he started singing
"Somewhere Out There" from An American Tale when he was three-years-old!
Dave is named after his godfather who plays hockey for Vancouver. The
fisherman of the group, Dave's coolest experience was on a recent trip
to Florida where they all went deep sea fishing. A definite Baywatch
fan, perhaps the ocean is why blue is Dave's favorite color.
