Boyz to men had alliances with ABC, and bell biv devo, which where big at the time. And just made safer, more radio freindly songs at the time. Their songs werent about just gettin some ass, they were about LOOOOVE songs, which made them big in wedding songs played

For those who says only 2 members of Jodeci can sing is laughable. All 4 can sing. Kci and Jojo obviously led with Devante and Dalvin in the background.

Devante and Dalvin were more responsible for the sound.


At 3:00 Devante on the piano playing My Heart Belongs to You. Devante is harmonizing below JoJo


You can hear all 4. Dalvin is in between Kci and Jojo on the harmony. Devante is holding the lower notes.



I'm still waiting the first chorus. The vocal arrangement and harmony is amazing and so tight.

Kci starts. Followed by Dalvin. Then comes Jojo followed by Devante.

Sounds like a southern baptist choir

Thank you for posting this and I'm at work and reading this, but didn't Mr. Dalvin have a solo album released under Madonna's imprint back in the late 90s ? I remember seeing some video back on BET with him playing drums towards the end.

Breh,

For Real, SMH!

Boyz I Men, got TONS of Songs that the average White Person, ain't fukkin with.

They have WAY more songs, that DON'T HAVE a "Cross Over" appeal.

This is LITERALLY the reason why White Folks, needed "Backstreet Boys", N'sync etc...

Because Boyz II Men's Sound is TOO BLACK, for White folks.

You can hear the Gospel roots in their Rifts, Runs, Harmonies etc...

Ironically BIIM doesnt have any wedding songs while Jodeci has multiple. BIIMs biggest song was about getting some ass :russ:.
