My Top 5 Male R&B Groups

This wasn't an easy task, picking five R&B groups to put on my countdown but here is my top five male R&B groups.

5.The Jackson 5-Two words Michael Jackson enough said

4. Boyz II Men- These four brothers from Philly brought back the acapella movement within R&B groups and experienced crossover success thanks to hits such as End Of The Road, On Bended Knee, I'll Make Love To You, etc. They actually had a hand in influencing Lou Pearlman to start Backstreet Boys once he saw their popularity with whites. Harmonies out of this world.

3. The Temptations- My Girl, Just My Imagination, Ain't Too Proud To Beg are some of the many hits that this legendary group put out over the years. They defined what an R&B should sound and look like.

2. Troop- I know some people are going to be like why Troop? I'll tell you why from the late 80's to the early 90's these brothers out of Pasadena, California gave New Edition a run for their money and really etched their place in R&B history with great remakes of All I Do Is Think Of You and Sweet November. They had style, can sing and dance. Not to mention a classic hit of their own with Spread My Wings.

and my number one R&B group of all time is......... New Edition- The only R&B that I know of where all group members had greater solo success outside of the group and paved the way for bands such as New Kids On The Block, *N'Sync, Backstreet Boys, etc. They had the look and choreography of R&B groups from yesterday and they can still pack out houses 26 years after their debut.
