Boyz II Men是一只多才多藝的、近乎完美的青少年偶像組合,在90年代初期他們就以自己最初的單曲“Motownphilly”在美國獲得巨大的成功。他們的成員包括Wanya “Squirt” Morris(于1973年7月29日出生在美國Pennsylvania州的費(fèi)城),Michael “Bass”McCary(于1972年12月16日出生在美國Pennsylvania州的費(fèi)城),Shawn “Slim” Stockman(1972年9月26日出生)和Nathan “Alex-Vanderpool” Morris(1971年6月18出生)。他們在費(fèi)城的High school Of Creative And Performing Arts高中結(jié)識,并于1998年組成了他們自己的樂隊。Bell Biy Devoe的MichaelBivins將他們收于自己門下并將他們介紹到Motown Records唱片公司。
他們的首張專輯在美國銷量非常好,這張專輯一面是舞曲,一面是民謠。直止1993年的年中,這張專輯仍以超過7百萬的銷量位于美國排行榜前列。當(dāng)他們一年后下一張專輯發(fā)行時,這種情況再次發(fā)生:在不到一年的時間里在美國總共售出8百萬張。這張專輯的主打歌是 “I*ll Make Love To You”,這支歌14周位居美國排行榜的前列。除此而外還包括其它兩個登上排行榜寶座的單曲“On Bended Knee”和“One Sweet Day”(與Ray Kelly合作演唱)。樂隊還制定了自己的目標(biāo)--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
