Information AboutEnd Of The Road |
"End of the Road" is a 1992 #1 hit recorded by Boyz II Men for the Motown label. Written and produced by Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds , it is Boyz II Men's most successful single and replaced The Jackson 5 's " I'll Be There " as the most successful single ever released on Motown. Originally recorded as a soundtrack song for the Eddie Murphy picture '' Boomerang '', the song (themed about a breakup where the man really doesn't want the woman to go) topped the charts from August 15 - November 7 , 1992 , setting a record for most weeks at #1 with 13, besting Elvis Presley 's 11 week hold with " Hound Dog / Don't Be Cruel ". However, two weeks after "End of the Road" left the top spot, being displaced by The Heights ' " How Do You Talk To An Angel ", Whitney Houston 's " I Will Always Love You " reached number one, and would stay there for 14 weeks, one week longer than "End of the Road" had lasted. Their next single (" I'll Make Love To You "), however, would tie Houston's record. The song was covered by Me First And The Gimme Gimmes on their album '' Take A Break ''. EXTERNAL LINK |
