For the first time, every Top 40 pop or R&B hit from Boyz II Men from 1991-2000, their tenure on Universal/Motown is represented – one double platinum, eight platinum and two gold singles from the original Legacy lineup, and nine more Top 40 R&B hits; plus a second disc of rare remixes, movie tracks and other recordings the fans have craved, each digitally remastered. Included in the acclaimed Deluxe Edition packaging is a 28-page booklet featuring rare, archival photos and two essays chronicling the group’ meteoric career.
Disc Two features rare, unedited remixes of “Motownphilly,” “Sympin’,” “Uhh Ahh,” “Thank You,” “I’ll Make Love To You,” “On Bended Knee,” “Water Runs Dry” and “Vibin’,” each longer than the original album or CD single releases. Also included are more rarities like the Remix Collection-only hit, “I Remember,” which went Top 30 R&B; the radio remix of their breakthrough pop hit “It’s So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday,” which added instrumentation to the LP cut; the Soul Solution club remix of “Doin’ Just Fine”; and the bangin’ Timbaland Remix of “Can’t Let Her Go.” Both of the latter cuts were breakout album tracks from the group’s last Motown album. Five of these rarities were issued as CD or 12-inch singles only and appear on an album for the first time.
Other Legacy-Deluxe Edition additions are Shawn Stockman’s solo hit, “Visions Of A Sunset” (Top 20 R&B) from Mr. Holland’s Opus; “Your Home Is In My Heart (Stella’s Love Theme),” a duet with Chanté Moore duet produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, featured in the film How Stella Got Her Groove Back; “I Will Get There (Inspirational Version),” a Top 40 hit from the album inspired by the animated film The Prince Of Egypt; “Not Me,” the group’s contribution to the concept album edition of Elton John and Tim Rice’s Aida; and “So Amazing,” the ballad from the score version soundtrack of The Hurricane.Each of these film- and theater- related songs now appear on a Boyz II Men album for the first time.
