Boyz II Men Perform in Palm Springs

Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, it’s Boyz II Men!  They’re coming to Coachella in September!  I don’t think I can use enough exclamation points for this news!  If you were alive in the 90’s, and owned a radio, you know who Boyz II Men are and if you’ve ever listened to their lyrics in “Motownphilly” you also know some of the story of how they got their start.

Boyz II Men

The group, originally a quintet, formed at Philadelphia High School for Creative and Performing Arts in 1986.  Three years later, in perhaps the best known successful case of harmless stalking, the boyz (oh yah, I used the z) snuck backstage at a Bel Biv DeVoe concert and told BBD member Michael Bivens to, “Check this out.” They preceded to perform an acappella version of “Can You Stand The Rain.”  Bivens was, of course, impressed and things took off from there (though this story is not intended to encourage others to try this with their favorite recording artist).

A short while later, in another display of their disregard for conventional spelling, Boyz II Men, now a quartet, released their debut album, Cooleyhighharmony, in 1991.  This album included such hits as, “Motownphilly,” “Uhh Ahhh,” and “It’s So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday,” and earned them a Grammy and the spot as opening act on MC Hammer’s 2 Legit 2 Quit tour.

The group has continued to enjoy success with several more #1 and Top 40 hits, more Grammys and Grammy nominations, and album after awesome album.  Do not miss your chance to hear Boyz II Men live in Coachella on September 26th.

After the show, you’ll probably be in the mood for a romantic evening with that special someone so check out Lake La Quinta Inn; this luxurious bed and breakfast will provide the perfect, quiet, private getaway.
