0009: Shai: Yours (Acappella)

Shai (Egyptian for personification of destiny or fate) churned out a bunch of great singles off their first album, starting with a true acappella song called If I Ever Fall In Love. This kind of introduction to the public gave them a solid identity as a talented vocal group. They enjoyed a string of subsequent successes afterward, up to and including a true live performance of a new song, Yours (likely an extensive version of an album song, Baby I'm Yours).

This is quintessential acappella for me. Every part is gorgeously sung. I don't know how else to describe the song. It's plain, gorgeous.

I remember wishing I was a member of Shai when I first heard this song. They must have gotten so much pie for singing this.
