This versatile close-harmony teenage soul group were a major success in the USA during the early 90s, beginning with their Top 3 debut single 'Motownphilly'. They comprise Wanya 'Squirt' Morris (b. 29 July 1973, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA), Michael 'Bass' McCary (b. 16 December 1972, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA), Shawn 'Slim' Stockman (b. 26 September 1972) and Nathan 'Alex-Vanderpool' Morris (b. 18 June 1971). They met at the Philadelphia High School Of Creative And Performing Arts, forming the band in 1988. Michael Bivins of Bell Biv Devoe took the group under his wing and brought them, fittingly, to Motown Records. Their debut album was one side dance, one side ballad, and was a huge seller in the USA. By the middle of 1993 the album was still high on the US chart with sales of over seven million copies. The formula was repeated with uncanny accuracy in 1994, their follow-up (imaginatively titled II ) becoming a huge hit, and less than a year later it had sold eight million copies in the USA. It spawned three massive-selling number 1 singles in 'I'll Make Love To You' (which stayed at the top of the US charts for 14 weeks), 'On Bended Knee' and 'One Sweet Day' (with Mariah Carey ). Evolution featured all-star contributions from Sean 'Puff Daddy' Combs, Keith Crouch, Babyface and Jimmy Jam And Jerry Lewis. The group also set up their own label, Stonecreek.
