The Boys by The Boys - DeepRiffs

ALBUM

Their second Motown album didn't generate as much followup buzz and momentum as anticipated. That might be because both Bell Biv Devoe and Boyz II Men became dominant on the urban contemporary/Quiet Storm love ballad scene, and The Boys grew up just enough to lose their appeal to the bubblegum and kiddie-pop crowd. ~ Ron Wynn
