Basics

Close friends and family make for close harmonies in this a cappella group named for an Orlando, Florida landmark. Their album, Backstreet Boys (1997) made it big overseas before being released in the U.S., where the group's popularity is just beginning to catch on. The singles Quit Playing Games With My Heart and As Long As You Love Me have done well in the areas in which they have been released. Members include cousins Brian Littrell and Kevin Richardson, as well as Nick Carter, Howard Dorough, and Alexander James “AJ” Mclean.
