So THIS Is What Happened to The Boys — Motown's Boy Band

The Boys’ songs “Dial My Heart” and “Crazy” flooded the airwaves in the late 80s and early 90s. Signed to Motown Records, the quartet of brothers were marketed as the generation’s new version of the Jacksons. They were cute, talented, and charismatic, but after delivering three albums and a string of hits, they disappeared from mainstream music. Here’s what happened

I’m so glad the parents were involved in their sons’ lives. They truly had their best interest at heart and made sure their obtained their own dreams and multiple streams of income at a young age.

[losrob]

Wow, this is such a great story!! No drug abuse, no jail sentences, no homelessness, no chaos or dysfunction. Nothing but success and prosperity. Big shoutouts to the parents for grooming such brilliant brothas!!

[BossladySupreme]

They came out of it without controversy, abuse and trauma. I absolutely love that

[sirblack]

Their story has got to be the unicorn of the recording industry. They were a hit, parents had their back, made great investments, etc and came out on the other end intact.

[pekanpie]

Very rare to hear about a group back then that wasn’t taken advantage of by a record label! Great job parents! 🙌🏾

[Beaudful]

Shout out to Black Fathers being super involved in their childrens lives 🙌🏾

[trusno]

Fun fact- Hakeem had produced or wrote a song for Akon on his first project. Yeah The Boys were a class act, and they definitely had the right people around them! Salute to those guys, im proud of them! Major

[lifestylinwithladytrishtv]

They were so adorable! 'Dial My Heart' brings back so many memories...the good ole carefree days 😊

[Shhhmusicxo]

About time somebody parents got it right. This is so refreshing not to hear a story of the industry taking advantage of young black artists…

[missliv]

BIG shout out to their parents for protecting them and making the experience fun for them!

[aliviahenderson]

This update makes me smile. So nice to hear that they are all living the lives that they want to live.

[Dii]

Such a beautiful story I love their parents for not letting ppl take advantage of their kids. ❤️❤️❤️

[SunflowerH]

They did very well in the end. A lot of artists just spiral out of control but these men turned their blessings into even bigger blessings. Thank GOD they had parents that looked out for them and were so supportive. Their parents decided to make such a wise decision to educate themselves by taking classes that helped their kids.

[Akilah]

I’ve also seen their story on Unsung. Their parents did well by them and made sure they were not taken advantage of.

[arieschild]

Wow this was such a nice story. I loved the fact that they were so open minded well traveled & went back to Africa. It’s beautiful to see black men exploring and living well not dealing with America’s racism. And I love how they continued performing doing what the loved. And shout out to the parents for keeping them grounded 👏🏾👏🏾 Very nice to see where life took them.

I'm so glad they remained close and never had any negativity going on. This is what I love to hear stories like this because stories these days are so painful for artists. I'm glad their parents learned and guided them every step of the way. I'm glad they were not misguided.

[Camie.in.Philly]

Glad to see their parents made sure they were well grounded.

[carmenhayward-stetson]

I am happy to learn that The Boyz continued to become independent thinkers, culturally literate, and in control of their own destinies. I am very proud of them. I produced a documentary decades ago called GETTING BABY OFF THE BOTTLE, to which these young artists lent their talent in Los Angeles, CA. They were wonderful, helping us spread the message about the dangers of alcohol. I never heard from them again. But I am eternally grateful to them and to their parents, and I wish them all a happy new year 2022. Carmen Hayward-Stetson

[michellewest]

[lanceparker]
