Answer:
boyz ii men is an american r&b vocal group , best known for emotional ballads and '' a cappella '' harmonies .formerly a quartet featuring michael mccary , they are currently a trio composed of baritone nathan morris alongside tenors wanya morris and shawn stockman .during the 1990s , boyz ii men found fame on motown records as a quartet .mccary left the group in 2003 due to health issues .during the 1990s , boyz ii men gained international success .this began with the release of the number one single '' end of the road '' in 1992 , which reached the top of charts worldwide .'' end of the road '' would set a new record for longevity , staying at number one on the '' billboard '' hot 100 for thirteen weeks , breaking the decades-old record held by elvis presley .boyz ii men proceeded to break this record with the subsequent releases of '' i 'll make love to you '' and '' one sweet day '' -lrb- with mariah carey -rrb- , which , at fourteen and sixteen weeks respectively , each set new records for the total number of weeks at number one .'' i 'll make love to you '' also topped the charts in australia -lrb- for four weeks -rrb- and garnered international success .as of 2015 , '' one sweet day '' still holds the all-time record with sixteen weeks at the top of the hot 100 .consequently , boyz ii men are top ranking members with regard to time spent at number one in '' billboard '' history , ranking in the fourth spot with 50 weeks -lrb- as of 2014 -rrb- .furthermore , when '' on bended knee '' took the number 1 spot away from '' i 'll make love to you '' , boyz ii men became only the third artists ever -lrb- after the beatles and presley -rrb- to replace themselves at the top of the '' billboard '' hot 100 .boyz ii men are among a select group of artists that have held at the number-one spot for at least 50 weeks cumulatively , placing them just fourth on that list behind elvis presley , the beatles , and mariah carey .these achievements were enough to earn boyz ii men recognition as '' billboard ''...
