I lived with Major in Philadelphia from 2000-2002. I did his hair, sold his cds at his show. I met so many artists through Major. He truly enjoyed performing and meeting people. He was & always will be the "Love Man"!!! Maybe I should write a memoir on those 2 great years...💖💖🌹🌹💖💖
RIP to the late great Major Harris! He passed away on November 9,2012 from congestive heart and lung failure in Richmond,Virginia. He was known for the hit Love Won't Let Me Wait and sang in many groups like the Delfonics,The Charmers,Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers,The Jarmels, and Nat Turner's Rebellion. He was a vocalist and a guitar player. We will miss you! My mom told me she got to see him in concert when he opened for the Ohio Players in the 70s!
I’ll say it again Black music has now gone down the tubes and may never recover. This was back in the day Black music was soooo beautiful. Now forget it.
Yes, the passing of Major is indeed a loss to is all who enjoy and respect the true artistry of a gifted individual. His work with The Defomics and as a solo artist will not be duplicated in our lifetime. Thank you Mr. Harris for your contribution and to the perfection of your craft.
Not even close. This dude was smooth. I remember this song when I was a kid. You knew it was something special even if you didn't completely understand what it was about.
Everytime I listened to this song I got into trouble, especially when my mom heard the woman moaning, lol.... This was the shizznick back in the day, still is today...
How reactionary our parents were. If only they had taken time to reason with us rather than just reacting to a perceived wrong on our part. Adults were always inducing guilt and curiousity in their effort to prevent our unstoppable growth...
At 2:05 you can see he's already taken them home, and he's only half way through the song. I've only ever heard two versions of this song. This one and one by Uncle Luther Vandross. Legends in their time
Love Won't Let Me Wait by Major Harris was such a lovely song and he was such a fine artist! So sad to know he expired in 2012, but that song will live on for many to enjoy. He was also great with the Delfonics, who I saw perform in Wilmington, Delaware back in the late 70s. Miss that talent so much! RIP Mr. Harris
Thank U 4 putting this up. What an exquisite song, performed so beautifully. I just learned Major Harris had died this year(-. We lost a real treasure. I also loved his work with Delfonics; I was so blessed to have seen him in concert with them, and also doing a solo on this. U could have heard a pin drop!. R.I.P. Mr. Harris, May his memory always be a blessing.

Hj com 61 anos me fez voltar no tempo onde pude dançar muitas vezes de rosto colado e sentindo a respiração e o coração corpo/ corpo . Essa pessoa ja se foi pra outra dimensão ficou as lembranças . Vida que segue ...
This song was haunting me all day. Found it👍🏻. Better than I remembered. Wow! Sally Lou Butler PA Thursday June 25, 2020. 6 months from today is Christmas 🎄. ✌🏻
This song was released in the 1970's when I was residing in the Caribbean islands of Anguilla and St. Maarten, N.A. songs like this inspired my songwriting craft before I came to the U.S. in 1979. This is a great love balad!

I’ll say it again Black music has now gone down the tubes and may never recover. This was back in the day Black music was soooo beautiful. Now forget it.
Well, ok let me add ALL music has gone down the tubes. The only thing genuinely good these days is playing older music.
Had to come on and show my respect to a smooth brotha. RIP Bro Major!
Man’s voice was so powerful that he had the audience stuck on still
❤This was definitely a house party favorite. Man the 70's was truly magical, Good times and Era.❤❤❤❤❤
Yes, the passing of Major is indeed a loss to is all who enjoy and respect the true artistry of a gifted individual. His work with The Defomics and as a solo artist will not be duplicated in our lifetime. Thank you Mr. Harris for your contribution and to the perfection of your craft.
TRUTH INDEED AMEN 🙏 RIH Major Harris
@@adriennerobinson1180wish we still had old school music 😅
@@garrymayes240 Yes,Truth Indeed
Nostalgia at its best...today's millennials cannot come close to writing these kind of songs. 😎
I’m 18 and love this music
Truth Indeed
NEVER
Not even close. This dude was smooth. I remember this song when I was a kid. You knew it was something special even if you didn't completely understand what it was about.
Damn I miss soul music! I was too young to appreciate this when it came out, but I also did not know that this form of music would disappear either.
Truth Indeed
Everytime I listened to this song I got into trouble, especially when my mom heard the woman moaning, lol.... This was the shizznick back in the day, still is today...
you too, LoL, good ol days
righr!
How reactionary our parents were. If only they had taken time to reason with us rather than just reacting to a perceived wrong on our part. Adults were always inducing guilt and curiousity in their effort to prevent our unstoppable growth...
@@winstonmiller9649 , They were harder on us, cause they knew how wild and untamed they were behind their parents backs!!😅😅
😂😂😂😂
Now this is some serious love makin' music!
Oh Yes
1975! The first album I owned. Still have it
Beautiful! Listen Gurl…🥰
Timeless .... Real lyrics Real singers back then.... I missed this kind of music.

I've only ever heard two versions of this song. This one and one by Uncle Luther Vandross. Legends in their time
Have you met him personally or have you been to same school with him? I'm apologies if my question is too much. I'm just too curious fella
I didn't remember Major sung with the "Delfonic's". They were a Great Group also. ♥️
Isley Brothers verzuz earth wind fire

He was a member of The Delfonics? COOL!! I love this tune,by the way. It's soulful, NOT sappy. Nice job, Mr. Harris.
What a fantastic song and a classic

With the rendering of such a beautiful love song, the Major took a quantum leap to wonderland, a world filled with joy and happiness
So sad to hear of your passing. Thank for the great love songs and killer voice.
RIP Mr Harris. Thank you for your amazing music!❤
Great song, but Luther ( God bless his soul ) took this song to another level. Great singers.
