1 is the seventh studio album by American R&B group Boyz II Men, released by Koch Records, and featuring covers of classic R&B songs (hence the album title) from such artists as Teddy Pendergrass, The Isley Brothers and Michael Jackson.

The album was their first as a trio, after founding member Michael McCary left the group due to chronic back problems.

Vibe Marcus Reeves found that "instead of fresh reinterpretations, the quartet gives listeners soulless Xeroxes.

Vocals for ballads like Michael Jackson’s "Human Nature" and the Isley Brothers’ "For the Love of You" are notches below the originals.

Although BIIM momentarily recaptures its shine with an a cappella rendition of DeBarge’s "Time Will Reveal," Throwback isn’t enough to throw them back atop the charts.
