Woodson says joining The Temptations was "the realization of a dream" for Harris. Harris formed a new group after leaving The Temptations and later released solo recordings. Woodson says that in his final years, Harris established a cancer foundation that was still in its early stages when he became ill. Harris also became a strong advocate for prostate cancer screening. |
