Welcome back to another edition of throwback Thursday. This week we are heading towards the year 1994, when the musical Quartet, Boyz II Men, were at the height of their popularity.In the early 90’s, when Philly’s Finest (other than the Cheese Steak & Rocky), made their debut with ‘Cooleyhighharmony’, it was apparent that this group was sent to take over the R&B scene. However, it was with their single, ‘End of the Road’, that helped them crossover to mainstream success. Heck, even Oprah shed a tear at their performance.
It was after that, Boyz II Men came out with their follow-up, ‘II’. The first single released was “I’ll Make Love To You”. This song would sit atop the charts at #1 for 14 weeks, replacing ‘End Of The Road’ as the longest charting single of all-time (Which broke Elvis’ record).
But, this is not the most amazing feat done by the group. It was after releasing the 2nd single, ‘On Bended Knee’, that they would become the only the 3rd artist/group (Elvis & The Beatles, 1st & 2nd) to replace their own #1 with another #1. This song would be released November 1, 1994, and it would sit atop Billboards hot charts this day in 1994...
So here it is, your Throwback 4 Thursday, ‘On Bended Knee’ by Boyz II Men:
