Free in-store event is part of Borders' year-long celebration of Motown's 50th Anniversary
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Who: They were discovered by Michael Bivins of New Edition, nurtured by Motown in the early 1990s and became the biggest-selling group in the company's history. Boyz II Men -- Nathan Morris, Wanya Morris, Shawn Stockman and Michael McCary -- smartly combined contemporary beats with classic smooth harmony, reeling off the huge hits "Motownphilly," "It's So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday" (the only a cappella No. 1 hit in pop music history) and "End Of The Road" (from the feature film "Boomerang") in the first year alone. "End Of The Road" is one of three group No. 1 hits -- "I'll Make Love To You" and "One Sweet Day" with Mariah Carey are the other two -- that set and broke records for longevity at No. 1. They also tied the Beatles' record for replacing themselves at the top of the charts. Among their other hits: "Water Runs Dry," "On Bended Knee," "4 Seasons of Loneliness," "A Song For Mama," "Can't Let Her Go" and more. Boyz II Men honored their roots with "Motown: A Journey Through Hitsville U.S.A.," an album of Motown covers for which they have been nominated for a 2009 Grammy Award. What: Grammy nominated Boyz II Men will greet fans and sign "Motown: A Journey Through Hitsville U.S.A.," as well as their other CDs at Borders in Westwood. During the event, fans will be treated to a special Q&A where they will be able to ask Boyz II Men about their Motown roots, what inspired them to do an album of Motown covers, what music inspires them and more! The Q&A will be hosted by LA radio personality Victor Zaragoza from radio station Hot 92.3. Why: Borders is celebrating Motown's 50th anniversary with a free in-store event featuring Boyz II Men. Now fans have the opportunity to celebrate their passion for Motown music by meeting this successful R&B group and having their favorite Boyz II Men CDs signed by the artists themselves! When: Tuesday, Jan. 13 at 7 p.m. Where: Borders 1360 Westwood Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90024 310.475.3444 Media Media interested in attending this event should contact Lita Contact: Weissman with Borders Group at 818.512.8686 or lweissma@bordersgroupinc.com.
