It\u2019s hard to believe that Lonestar<\/a>\u2019s \u201cAmazed\u201d has a 20th anniversary this summer.<\/p>\n

Co-written by Marv Green, Chris Lindsey and Aimee Mayo, the song claimed the pinnacle of Billboard<\/em>\u2019s Country Airplay chart for eight consecutive weeks in summer of 1999 and has become a standard at nearly every school dance since.<\/p>\n

But long before Lonestar\u2019s Michael Britt, Keech Rainwater and Dean Sams recorded the crossover hit, Boyz II Men<\/a> almost had it first.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat song interesting enough was brought to us years before it was recorded by Lonestar,\u201d Nathan Morris revealed backstage at Boyz II Men\u2019s CMT Crossroads<\/a><\/em> with Brett Young<\/a>. \u201cWe were kind of in the middle of our contract figuring out who we were going to be as Boyz II Men moving forward. So, we turned the song away. Next thing you know, we hear that Lonestar song on the radio and watch it just sky-rocket.\u201d<\/p>\n
