Harris performed in many different groups throughout his career, including Franki Lymon's Teenagers, the Jarmels and Nat Turner's Rebellion on Philly Grove Records. However, it was his stint with the Delfonics that finally brought him success. He joined that group as the replacement for Randy Cain. Major Harris is a STAR of the First Order, as he inspired many groups, as,The Mighty Majors Band ("You Can Never Go Back"), after they opened a show for him once on the road, as well as many other performers because of his polished style, grace, and powerful stage presence.
In 1974 he went solo, passing an audition for WMOT (We Men of Talent) productions. His biggest hit was "Love Won't Let Me Wait". Some of his subsequent songs did well also, but after those ran dry he returned to the Delfonics, with whom he toured in the 1990s and 2000s.

Major Harris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You hold me tight
And love's got me high
Please tell me yes
And don't say no, honey
Not tonight
I need to have you next to me
And I refuse to leave 'till I see the
Morning sun creep through your window pane
'Cause love won't let me wait (not one more minute, baby)
The time is right
Turned down the lights
And take my hand
We will take a flight
And spend the night
In a wonderland
Now move a little closer to me
You owe it to yourself
And I will selfishly take a little for myself
And it's because of you
That love won't let me wait
(No , listen girl)
I need your love so desperately
And only you can set me free
When I make love to you
We will explode in ecstasy
And I won't take the blame
That love won't let me wait, no
Love won't let me wait (my temperature's rising)
Love won't let me wait (cause your so tantalizing)
(Oh listen girl)
Love won't let me wait
