II


During 1994 Boyz II Men's second album, II, was released. Most of the tracks on II were written and produced by Tim & Bob Tim Kelley and Bob Robinson (5) Babyface (2) and the successful team of Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis (2); Michael Bivins distanced himself from Boyz II Men to focus on developing new acts. Several of II's tracks became major singles, among them Jam & Lewis's "On Bended Knee", and Babyface's "I'll Make Love to You" and "Water Runs Dry". "Thank You" and the hip hop soul track "Vibin'" both missed the U.S. Top 20; but "Water Runs Dry" became number 2, and "I'll Make Love to You and "On Bended Knee" became number 1 hits.
"I'll Make Love to You" broke "End of the Road's" 13-week record at number 1, by spending 14 weeks at the top of the chart (a feat equaled earlier that year by Whitney Houston's cover of "I Will Always Love You"). "On Bended Knee" replaced "I'll Make Love to you" at number 1, making Boyz II Men the third act to replace themselves at number 1, after Elvis and The Beatles.[6] Meanwhile, II sold more than 12 million copies in the United States alone, becoming one of the best-selling albums ever released by an R&B group act.
At the 37th Grammy Awards on March 1, 1995, the group won two Grammy Awards: Best R&B Album for II and Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals. for "I'll Make Love To You".
