Artist:Az Yet f/Peter Cetera
Song:Hard To Say I'm Sorry
Album:Az Yet
The R&B group Az Yet scored a couple of top ten hits with the 1996 album Az Yet including this cover of Chicago's Hard To Say I'm Sorry. But constant personnel changes killed any momentum. And in the end they only recorded one album for a major label. Az Yet are from Philadelphia. Shawn Rivera and Dion Allen started singing together in 1989. They were joined by Kenny Terry. Other guys came and went. Darryl Anthony joined in 1995. A demo landed in the hands of Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds. His mother in law gave it to him. Az Yet signed with Edmonds label LaFace and he produced their 1996 debut album. There were two hit singles. Last Night reached #9 on the Billboard Hot 100. Edmonds wrote and produced that with Keith Andes. Hard To Say I'm Sorry reached #8 on the Billboard Hot 100. Peter Cetera not only appears on the record but he and Chicago producer David Foster produced the record. The problem was guys kept leaving the group. So Az Yet only recorded one album for LaFace. After a 2002 attempt to reform didn't work out, Az Yet reunited in 2007. Dion Allen continues to lead the group. They last recorded in 2013. Here's the video for Hard To Say I'm Sorry by Az Yet featuring Peter Cetera.
