This period for is one of healing, and your respect for our need for solitude is appreciated as we honor the memory of our beloved Howard Stanley Beverly known to the world as Frankie Beverly.

Boyz II Men Will Perform In Kingston, Jamaica On October 26th

Posted on September 10, 2024 by Maria Jackson 27 Magazine

Famed American R&B vocal group Boyz II Men will perform on the lawns of The University of the West Indies in Kingston, Jamaica, on Saturday, October 26, 2024. General admission tickets, which are going for US$100 and VIP passes, which are US$170, can be purchased online via Caribtix.

Boyz II Men first achieved commercial success in 1991 with the release of their singles “Motownphilly” and “It’s So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday”; both songs entered the top five on the Billboard Hot 100. Their 1992 single, “End of the Road,” also climbed to the top of the chart, where it spent a record 13 weeks.

They later broke this record with the singles “I’ll Make Love to You” and “One Sweet Day” (a collaboration with Mariah Carey), which, at 14 and 16 weeks, respectively, set records for most weeks at number one. When “On Bended Knee” took the number one spot away from “I’ll Make Love to You,” Boyz II Men became the third musical act, after the Beatles and Elvis Presley, to replace themselves atop the Billboard Hot 100.
