Boyz II Men's immaculate vocal harmonies, smooth-as-butter songwriting and boy-next-door personas can be traced to their admiration of soul and R&B's most storied artists, from Al Green to The Temptations. The crescendoing “End of the Road” echoes Otis Redding's addictive, almost spiritual songwriting, while the irresistible romance of “I'll Make Love to You” nods to Barry White's lover-man power.
