The boy band group which was once a quartet, including bass singer Michael McCary, who left the group in 2003 due to health issues which were eventually diagnosed as multiple sclerosis, was formed in 1985 but only started making their way in 1991with their successful projects beginning with the release of top 5 singles ‘Motownphilly’ and ‘It’s So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday’ and it should be recalled that their all-time favorite ‘End of the Road’ only released a year after their 5 hit singles, in 1992 to be specific, topped music charts across the globe, setting world record, commanding the number one spot on Billboard Hot 100 for thirteen weeks.
The boy bad continued doing good music until early 2000s and as per the information according to Shawn Stockman, they haven’t yet added another album after the ‘Under the Streetlight’ music project released way back in 2017.
