About Shai
Using nothing but their voices, the R&B quartet Shai scored a massive hit with their 1992 single “If I Ever Fall in Love.” • The original members of Shai met while attending Howard University in Washington, D.C. • In 1992, they released their debut album, If I Ever Fall in Love, featuring their gigantic hit of the same name. The a cappella title track peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. It was kept from the top spot by Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You.” • If I Ever Fall in Love yielded two more Top 10 hits: “Baby I’m Yours” and “Comforter.” • Shai returned in 1993 with Right Back at Cha, featuring mostly remixes and live cuts. • The group’s final Top 40 hit came with 1994’s “The Place Where You Belong,” off the soundtrack for Beverly Hills Cop III. • Following 1995’s Blackface, singer and songwriter Carl Martin left the group. The other carried on as a trio, releasing 1999’s Destiny.
