Brett Young is joined by Boyz II Men for the latest CMT Crossroads episode, which airs this week.

Brett traded vocals with the four-time Grammy Award-winning R&B group — which is made up of Nathan Morris, Shawn Stockman and Wanya Morris.

Boyz II Men, the best-selling R&B group of all time, has been the soundtrack of Young’s life ever since the group broke out with their 1991 debut single, "Motownphilly.”

“Boyz II Men was so present and prevalent in my life when I started writing songs,” Young told CMT at the concert on stage. “Every once in a while, when you guys sing your solos I can tell who’s who, but when you’re singing together, it’s like who’s doing what right now? It pushed me as a singer before I even knew it was doing that.”

The episode was filmed in Nashville in February and Brett performed a special rendition of their hit song “End of the Road.” As they closed out the powerful performance, Young and Boyz II Men even let the enthusiastic crowd take over, as the audience sang along — without missing a word — to the beloved tune.

Brett Young and Boyz II Men’s episode of CMT Crossroads airs Wednesday, March 27, at 10 p.m. ET/PT on CMT.
