Major Harris, a former member of the Philadelphia sound soul group the Del-fonics 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 died Friday at a Richmond, Virginia, hospital from congestive heart and lung failure.
The Richmond 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 of R&B singles, including Love Won't Let Me Wait, which peaked at No. 5 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart.
