    LOS ANGELES, Jan. 9 /PRNewswire/ --

    Who:      They were discovered by Michael Bivins of New Edition, nurtured
              by Motown in the early 1990s and became the biggest-selling
              group in the company's history. Boyz II Men -- Nathan Morris,
              Wanya Morris, Shawn Stockman and Michael McCary -- smartly
              combined contemporary beats with classic smooth harmony, reeling
              off the huge hits  "Motownphilly," "It's So Hard To Say Goodbye
              To Yesterday" (the only a cappella No. 1 hit in pop music
              history) and "End Of The Road" (from the feature film
              "Boomerang") in the first year alone. "End Of The Road" is one
              of three group No. 1 hits -- "I'll Make Love To You" and "One
              Sweet Day" with Mariah Carey are the other two -- that set and
              broke records for longevity at No. 1. They also tied the
              Beatles' record for replacing themselves at the top of the
              charts. Among their other hits: "Water Runs Dry," "On Bended
              Knee," "4 Seasons of Loneliness," "A Song For Mama," "Can't Let
              Her Go" and more. Boyz II Men honored their roots with "Motown:
              A Journey Through Hitsville U.S.A.," an album of Motown covers
              for which they have been nominated for a 2009 Grammy Award.

    What:     Grammy nominated Boyz II Men will greet fans and sign "Motown: A
              Journey Through Hitsville U.S.A.," as well as their other CDs at
              Borders in Westwood.

              During the event, fans will be treated to a special Q&A where
              they will be able to ask Boyz II Men about their Motown roots,
              what inspired them to do an album of Motown covers, what music
              inspires them and more! The Q&A will be hosted by LA radio
              personality Victor Zaragoza from radio station Hot 92.3.

              in-store event featuring Boyz II Men. Now fans have the
