Soul, His Way

(5 out of 5 stars)
"Major Harris releases his debut album My Way in 1974-75. He has a cool vibin' voice and flows easy over the melody: no wonder why the Delfonics had him join them in the early 70's after Randy Cain (R.I.P.) left. Here, he gets some solo shine and makes a wonderful record with different tempos and styles. The hit single: "Love Won't Let Me Wait" is a cool-vibin, jazzy, classy number, with some orgasmic girl moans at the end of the slow drag. "Sideshow" is a mellow cover of a Blue Magic classic jam, and Major Harris handles it well. Other slower jams include "Just a Thing I Do" and "My Way." The other songs are more up-tempo and also are spirit and soul up-lifters. "Sweet Tomorrow" is gorgeous, poetic, and romantic. The swinging vibe of "Loving You Is Mellow" with the heavenly chorus chants is another mood lifter. All the songs on My Way are great: Major Harris has a great voice. Anyone who loves anything from Motown to Philly Soul and even softer Disco will love this wonderful album."
