Major Harris - My Way Former Member of the Delfonics Major Harris died at age 65 from congestive heart failure. He was best known for his tremendous hit "Love Won't Let Me Wait" written by Bobby Eli. Norman Harris, the Philly producer, guitarist and Trammps co-founder, is the cousin of Major Harris.

"Love Won't Let Me Wait" was from his album 'My Way' from 1975. On this album a bunch of MFSB members collaborated.

In 1984 he recorded the superb album 'I Believe In Love' on SOCIETY HILL Records with that great track 'Gotta Make Up Your Mind'.

He will be missed. RIP
Mark Berbiers
