voc, 1916-2000
Singer of R&B/Soul
Rebert H. Harris (March 23, 1916 - September 3, 2000)was a gospel singer. In his work with the Soul Stirrers, he was instrumental in transforming the ensemble jubilee quartet style of the 30s into the lead-focused hard gospel style of the 40s and 50s. (Anthony Heilbut, liner notes to When Gospel Was Gospel, Shenachie, 2005, p. 5) He was replaced by Sam Cooke."I was 7 years old, and the closest boy in age was six years older," he said in that 1987 interview. "I heard the sound of each part in my head and I'd tell each person how to sing it."
