Shai was formed at Howard University in Washington D.C. 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).

Im Your G
Shai Lyrics
Understand, girl, that my heart is in your hands
And I'm cautious of falling in love again
So please don't hurt me, I'm scared
Don't desert me, I'm afraid
Of being a fool, again
So baby, I'm yours
If you want me
(And if you want my sweet love) baby, I'm yours
If you need me (la, la, la)
Loving you forever
If you want me
(Give me your love) baby, I'm yours
If you need me
Realize, girl, that my faith is kind of torn
Watch you step, girl, because my heart is weak and worn
So won't you please be careful, I'm fragile
I can't imagine the damage
I have to handle
If you hurt me one more time
Please by mine
Baby, I'm yours
If you want me
(And if you want my sweet love) baby, I'm yours
If you need me (la, la, la)
Loving you forever
If you want me
(Give me your love) baby, I'm yours
If you need me (oh, baby)
Baby, I've been through a whole lot of relationships
Whole lot of broken promises
But now I'm ready for a real one, sweetheart
(Yes, I am)
You don't have to worry, baby (oh)
Don't you every go away
Baby I'm, baby, baby, I'm yours
Baby I'm, baby, baby, I'm yours
Baby I'm, baby, baby, I'm yours (and I'll give it all to you)
Baby I'm, baby, baby, I'm yours (if you want me)
Baby I'm, baby, baby, I'm yours(if you need me)
Baby I'm, baby, baby, I'm yours (I'll be right here for you)
Baby I'm, baby, baby, I'm yours (just follow me, baby)
Baby I'm, baby, baby, I'm yours
'Cause baby, I'm yours
If you want me
(I think you need me) and baby, I'm yours
(Don't be afraid, baby) if you need me
Loving you forever
If you want me
Baby, I'm yours
If you need me (I'm right here, baby)
Baby, I'm yours (I'll be right here)
If you want me
(I'm the one that you need) and baby, I'm yours
(I'll be the one you need, baby) if you need me
