After touring in concert for several years (including a show at Carnegie Hall), as well as a hit TBS sitcom Down to Earth, Harris victoriously returned to the theatre, winning the Drama League Award for his role in Cy Coleman's The Life, and a Drama Desk nomination for his role in Tommy Tune's Grease. He also starred in productions of The Producers, Cabaret and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

Never one to concentrate on only one sole medium, HARRIS continued recording and releasing acclaimed albums, including Revival; The Best of the Motown Sessions; and Always, a collection of love songs, as well as multiple holiday records. Additionally, he regularly performs on numerous television shows and specials, where he has been fortunate to work with many of his inspirational legends, including Stevie Wonder, Elizabeth Taylor, Elton John, Al Green and Liza Minnelli, who has become a long-time collaborator, as well as a close friend. Harris has also been featured on countless talk shows, most notably on The Oprah Winfrey Show in the days following September 11th, where he memorably performed a stirring rendition of "You'll Never Walk Alone."
