To my heavenly bass brother Harry. You already know that you're missed in our household. The news of your passing was truly something I was not prepared to hear. Over the years our friendship grew closer and stronger. I have not been able to rest or go a minute of my day without thinking about all the times we spent hanging out together. From backstage at various shows to the streets of New York. All of our phone conversations have been playing throughout the day in my mind just like it was yesterday. I'll never forget a part of one of our interviews when you stated that you wanted me to fill in for you with the Tempts while you filled in for me on my radio show The Love Zone. Doing The Love Zone was just one of your many unfulfilled dreams. Harry, you'll always be known as one cool brother to me. Melvin was my main man, but you respectfully earned your place on my shelf of "World Class Bass Singers." Your smiles and playful laughter on and off stage will always be forever embedded in my soul.
Rest in peace my brother, rest in peace. Sunrise:January 19, 1950 Sunset: April 3, 2006
The Temptations have been the greatest group of all time and have survived this long due to their great members. Any member of the Temptations will live on in their music. Here's to hoping that the world will never see an end to the Temptations. Your spirit is carried with the group. Once a Temp, always a Temp.
I choreographed some of the dance steps for the "Futures" back in the 70's at 52nd and Master. Harry was laid back even then and so patient. Eventually in '99 I got married to one of the songs he sang with the "Temptations". He was a wonderful guy with a calming attitude. Even now in 2009 I think about him in a brotherly way.
