Bobby Brown was a member of New Edition, not Boyz II Men

they're not so much R n B, but more like a black version of New Kids on the Block

Oops, I knew that. My mistake. And perhaps they (and Boys II Men) were a boy band like the New Kids but I still think they were legit R&B. At least by 80s standards.

Not only were New Edition like NKOTB, they were from the same city and assembled by the same guy, Maurice Starr.

RIP Whitney. I remember that first album cover, such a beautiful lady and the voice of a songbird. Say hello to Etta for me.

I only knew you briefly, but I knew you were a great comfort to my friend in both of your times of need. What happened to the both of you was cruel, and I'm sorry you have to leave us so soon.

I won't forget you.
