Boyz II Men
In high school, Nelson attended the Philadelphia High School for Creative and Performing Arts, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. There, Nelson and friend Nathan Morris, joined later by Wanya Morris, Shawn Stockman and Michael McCary, formed the singing group "Unique Attraction." After hearing the song "Boys to Men" by New Edition on the radio one evening, the group changed their name to Boyz II Men. In 1989, the group met Michael Bivins and began making arrangements to sign the group to a major label and begin recording. In the interim, the group encountered delays in recording their album. Nelson grew impatient and left the group and began recording his debut solo project.

Famous quotes containing the word men:
“Think of those barren places where men gather
To act in the terrible name of rectitude,
Of acned shame, punk’s pride, muscle or turf,
The bully’s thin superiority.”
—Anthony Hecht (b. 1923)
