Smooth contemporary R&B group Az Yet formed in Philadelphia during the late '80s, and caught a break a few years later when their demo was heard by <a href="spotify:artist:3aVoqlJOYx31lH1gibGDt3">Babyface</a>, which led to a deal with the <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22LaFace%22">LaFace</a> label. They made their debut, however, on <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Def+Jam%22">Def Jam</a>'s soundtrack for The Nutty Professor. Produced by <a href="spotify:artist:3aVoqlJOYx31lH1gibGDt3">Babyface</a> and Mervyn Warren, Az Yet's contribution, "Last Night," showcased their refined harmonic chemistry. One of the biggest ballads of 1996, it topped Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop chart and reached number nine on the Hot 100. Their self-titled debut album was released while the song was in its ascent and featured an almost a cappella cover of <a href="spotify:artist:3iDD7bnsjL9J4fO298r0L0">Chicago</a>'s "Hard to Say I'm Sorry" (on which they were joined by <a href="spotify:artist:5xWPOujQqd4wXyB08slZ9Z">Peter Cetera</a>) that put them back in the pop Top Ten, subsequently nominated for a Grammy. By the end of June 1997, the album was certified platinum. Az Yet encountered a number of obstacles, including membership turnover, and went through periods of inactivity as they sporadically performed and recorded. Their second proper album, She's Magic, was released in 2016 on <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Goldenlane%22">Goldenlane</a>. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi
