Three of the four members, Marc Gray, Carl Martin, and Darnell Van Rensalier, belonged to the same fraternity, Alpha Phi Alpha, and along with good friend, Garfield A. Bright, decided to take a chance at turning their hobby of singing into a career. Moving to New York City, New York, the foursome tried to secure a record deal, but they couldn't find any takers. With their money running out and their future looking bleak, the members of Shai took a chance on a radio contest that radio station WPGC was sponsoring. They chose to perform a song that Carl Martin wrote, "If I Ever Fall in Love," which they sang a cappella. The song won the contest and began finding airplay on WPGC. Other stations soon followed, and suddenly the record labels came calling. After signing with Gasoline Alley, Shai began putting together its debut album.
"If I Ever Fall in Love" was the first single and peaked at #2 in the U.S. The next two releases from the double-platinum album, "Comforter" and "Baby I'm Yours" both reached #10. The group's next CD was a remix album largely consisting of new versions of their previous hits, which resulted in a revised version of the song "Baby I'm Yours" simply titled "Yours" which peaked at #63. Future efforts fell shy of the Top 40 although the group did briefly reappear there in 1994 with the #34 "The Place Where You Belong" from the Beverly Hills Cop III soundtrack. The group's last charting single was 1996's #89 single "I Don't Wanna Be Alone". Shai is still active releasing such albums as "Destiny" (1999), "Back From The Mystery System: The Love Cycle" (2004), "Love Cycle: Back From The Mystery System" (2007) and "Worldwide (as D-n-G of Shai" (2009).

If I Ever Fall In Love
by Shai
The very first time that I saw your brown eyes
Your lips said "Hello" and I said "Hi"
I knew right then you were the one
But I was caught up in physical attraction
But to my satisfaction
Baby, you were more than just a phase
And if I ever
(Ever fall)
In love again
(Again)
I will be sure that the lady is a friend
And if I ever
(Ever fall)
In love so true
(So true)
I will be sure that the lady's just like you
Oh, yeah, yeah, y-yeah
The very next time she'll be my friend
If I say that I could be your one and only
Promise that you'll never leave me lonely
I just wanna be the one you need, oh baby
I just wanna be the one to serve you
Sometimes I feel as if I don't deserve you
I cherish every moment that we share
And if I ever
(Ever fall)
In love again
(Again)
I will be sure that the lady is a friend
And if I ever fall
(Ever fall)
In love so true
(So true)
I will be sure that the lady's just like you
I need someone who'll be my friend
To be with me through thick and thin
Please share my love with me my friend
I need someone like you
And if I ever
(Ever fall)
In love again
(Again)
I will be sure that the lady is a friend
And if I ever fall
(Ever fall)
In love so true
(True)
I will be sure that the lady's just like you
