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 and was influenced by the vocal stylings of other popular harmonizing bands of the day, including Boyz II Men, Jodeci, and Color Me Badd.[2]
Their most successful hit was "If I Ever Fall in Love," which reached No 1. on the R&B chart and No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100.
