RICHMOND, Virginia — Major Harris, a former member of the
"Philadelphia sound" soul group the Delfonics and singer of the 1975
hit Love Won't Let Me Wait, has died.
His sister Catherine Thomas told The Associated Press the 65-year-old
passed away Friday from congestive heart and lung failure.
The Richmond, VIrginia native made the rounds with several music
groups in the 1960s, including the Charmers, Frankie Lymon's Teenagers
and Nat Turner's Rebellion.
He then joined the Delfonics in the early 1970s.
He left the group in 1974 and recorded a string on R&B singles,
including Love Won't Let Me Wait, which peaked at No. 5 in the U.S.
Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Thomas said her brother last sang at a reunion show with the Delfonics
last year.
