== Legacy ==

Boyz II Men's influence on 1990s R&B and subsequent vocal groups was profound, their commercial success demonstrating that harmony-based singing could achieve mass appeal. Groups that followed learned from their example, while their recordings continue to be played at weddings, romantic occasions, and wherever audiences seek the emotional intensity that their best work achieved. Their Philadelphia origins connect them to a lineage of vocal excellence that extends from the Spinners and O'Jays through to contemporary artists who continue the city's traditions.<ref name="nickson"/>

The group continues performing, their classic hits ensuring audience interest decades after their commercial peak. Their impact on popular music—particularly their demonstration that vocal harmony could dominate charts in the age of hip-hop and electronic production—secures their place in American musical history. Philadelphia's role in their formation, from CAPA education to soul tradition influences, makes them representatives of the city's continuing contribution to popular music.<ref name="george"/>
