Cooleyhighharmony is the debut studio album by American R&B group Boyz II Men, released on April 30, 1991, by Motown Records. The album was primarily written by Boyz II Men members Nathan Morris, Wanya Morris, and Shawn Stockman, and produced by Dallas Austin and the Characters. Its title pays tribute to the real-life Chicago high school, Cooley Vocational High School.
Upon its release, the album debuted at number 58 on the US Billboard 200 chart, eventually peaking at number three. Its original edition produced two US Billboard Hot 100 top-five singles: "Motownphilly" and "It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday".
In 1992, Cooleyhighharmony was re-released internationally (1993 in the United States) with remixes and the addition of two hit singles: the worldwide chart-topping "End of the Road", originally recorded for the Boomerang soundtrack, and "In the Still of the Nite (I'll Remember)", which had been recorded for the TV mini-series The Jacksons: An American Dream.
The album has been certified nine-times Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), signifying shipments of over nine million units in the United States.
In 2009, a two-disc digitally remastered edition was released, featuring remixes and two previously unreleased tracks.
