Soulful R&B-pop quartet 98 Degrees can thank Boyz II Men for its big break. It was at one the Philly outfit's concerts that 98 Degrees caught the ear of Paris D'Jon, co-manager of Montell Jordan. A local radio station broadcasting from the show had them sing on the air, and D'Jon liked what he heard. The influential manager secured them a spot on Jordan's tour, setting in motion a buzz that eventually led them to sign with Motown Records.
The group's first self-titled CD originally came out in October 1997, but was reissued the following spring with an extra track — Diane Warren's Was It Something I Didn't Say — after the song was included on the Fame L.A. soundtrack. The song Invisible Man from that album was 98 Degrees' first big hit, eventually earning its first gold record in December 1997.
After a year of slow-burning success, the lads turned up the heat with the follow-up to 98 Degrees, the October 1998 release of 98 Degrees and Rising. On their sophomore effort, the guys contributed more to the songwriting and production process, with assistance from a host of big name producers, including Pras (The Fugees), Anders Bagge (Ace of Base, Robyn), Keith Thomas (Brian McKnight, Vanessa Williams), and the Trackmasters (Will Smith, Mariah Carey, LL Cool J, Mary J. Blige).
One of the highlights of the disc is a duet the band does with Motown legend Stevie Wonder. "When they sent the tape to us at home, I was almost in tears listening to it," said Nick of the performance. "It was an awesome feeling to hear your voice with Stevie Wonder exchanging riffs and singing harmony parts together. It was completely unreal."
