Shai (pronounced "shy") is an American vocal R&B/soul quartet that rose to prominence in the 1990s.[1] The group met and formed on the campus of Howard University, influenced by the vocal stylings of Boyz II Men, Jodeci, and Color Me Badd, among others.[2] The group remains best known for their 1992 debut single "If I Ever Fall in Love," which peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100.
