Marc Nelson (born Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is an American singer. His mother was Phyllis Nelson, known for the songs I Like You and Move Closer. He was a member of Boyz II Men while still attending Philadelphia’s High School of Performing Arts. However, Nelson left the group before they released their first album to pursue his own solo career. Nelson is a member of the Church of Scientology.
After signing a solo deal with Capitol Records, Marc Nelson scored a hit with a cover of Marvin Gaye’s I Want You, which hit #26 on the R&B charts. His follow-up, Count On Me, reached #48 on the R&B charts. Nelson released his solo album, I Want You. in 1991.
Following the release of his solo album, Nelson began to concentrate his talents as a songwriter. Drawing the attention of Babyface, Nelson wrote for artists like Toni Braxton, Brandy, Tamia, Tyrese and Jon B. Through Babyface, Nelson met the four members of the group Az Yet and was added to the line-up as second lead vocalist and the group was signed to LaFace Records.
As a member of Az Yet, Nelson saw a great deal of success. The group’s self-titled debut album was released in 1996 and went platinum. It had a great deal of success with the single Last Night going gold and topping the R&B charts. In addition, it reached #9 on the Hot 100.

You have to admit, this Brother can sing to even the most pissed off Lady, & she would be captivated by his appearance, & charms instantly. The Lady in My Life is a classic example. Why is he not given the props he deserves is what is confusing me.
