Harris’s rendition of the 1963 hit “Cry To Me” was a top-10 smash and all-time Deep Soul classic. During her career, she toured alongside Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, Johnnie Taylor, James Brown, Gladys Knight, and Carla Thomas. Her tenure at Allen Toussaint’s Sansu records from 1965-69 yielded 20 classic sides that helped define New Orleans soul (including "Nearer To You," reprised by Toussaint and Elvis Costello on their post-Katrina collaboration, The River In Reverse). Her reputation among soul and funk music connoisseurs far exceeds her commercial success of the 1960s, and her recordings for the Jubilee and Sansu record labels are highly sought after by fans of Northern Soul and Deep Soul.
