Your guide to Philly's diverse creative scene, nightlife, music, food & more
With 60 million records sold and four Grammy wins, Boyz II Men - dubbed as the most successful R&B group of all time - have been breaking records for the past 20 years. And now, the Philly icons can add another accolade to their list of accomplishments.
Yesterday, all four original members - Shawn Stockman, Wayna Morris, Nathan Morris and Michael McCary - came together to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. On hand at the ceremony to honor the group were music powerhouses Babyface, Michael Bivins, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis.
The star's location along the Walk of Fame is in good company. Boyz II Men's star sits near Motown legends, like the Temptations, Stevie Wonder and the Supremes. Now that Boyz II Men's star has been added to that section of the Walk, Motownphilly really is back again.
