Boyz II Men

Oh, come, oh, come Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile
Until the Son of God appear
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to you, O Israel!

Oh, come, O key of David, come
And open wide our heav'nly home;
Make safe the way that leads on high
And close the path to misery
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to you, O Israel!

Oh, come, oh, come our Lord of might
Who to your tribes on Sinai's height
In ancient times gave holy law
In cloud and majesty and awe
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to you, O Israel!

Boyz II Men is an R&B vocal quartet from Philadelphia who became the most successful pop group of the 1990s. They’re best known for their passionate ballads, including the number one hits “End of The Road,” “On Bended Knee,” and “I’ll Make Love To You.”

An early version of the group was founded by Nathan Morris in the mid 1980s while attending the Philadelphia High School for the Creative and Performing Arts, where he recruited students Wanya Morris, Shawn Stockman, and Michael McCary. Singer Marc Nelson was also an early member, but left the group before their big break.

The group—who took its name from New Edition’s song “Boys To Men”—was discovered in 1988 after auditioning for New Edition’s Michael Bivins backstage at a concert. Bivins signed the group to his management company and secured them a contract with Motown Records.
