October 31, 1992 –
The Boyz II Men single End Of The Road was the #1 song on the Billboard Hot 100 for the 12th consecutive week, on this date, breaking the record held by Elvis Presley’s two-sided Don’t be Cruel/Hound Dog, which was #1 for 11 weeks in 1956.
Boyz II Men’s bass singer, Michael McCary, got a spoken interlude on this song where he tells the girl he knew she was cheating but stayed with her anyway because he loved her so much. This section is an homage to vocal groups of the ‘50s and ‘60s that would often give their bass singer a similar spoken part.
