Songoftheday 11/30/18 - Understand girl that my heart is in your hands, and I'm cautious of falling in love again...
from the album ...If I Ever Fall In Love (1992)
Billboard Hot 100 peak: #10 (three weeks)
Weeks in the Top-40: 20
Today's song of the day comes from the soul vocal group Shai, who had already scored back-to-back top ten pop hits with the a Capella gem "If I Ever Fall In Love" and "Comforter", the latter in the spring of 1993. The third single from the record was the midtempo and middle-of-the-road number "Baby I'm Yours". Written by the act's Marc Gay and Carl Martin, the track gave the quartet a hat trick from their debut...
"Baby I'm Yours" became Shai's third (and last) top ten pop hit in September of 1993. The song also climbed to #19 on Billboard magazine's R&B chart. Internationally, the record went to #40 in New Zealand. A fourth release from If I Ever Fall In Love, the ballad "Together Forever", missed the pop chart, but managed to go to #89 on the R&B list. Finally, an acappella remix of "Baby I'm Yours", simply titled "Yours", did a little better, going to #56 on the R&B tally and #63 on the pop Hot 100.
