Sam Harris

Sam Harris has run the gamut from singer/songwriter to stage/film/television actor to writer/producer/director. Sam became a household name on Star Search in its premiere season. 25 million viewers tuned in week after week to follow him as he created his own pop, gospel and theatre brand of emotionally charged performances, finally winning the grand prize and the hearts of America.

Sam returned to his pop roots on the cd, Revival, and performed the show of the same name at New York's famed The Bottom Line, further displaying his writing, comic and now, political prowess in conjunction with an eclectic mix of music, which has now become his trademark. The Best of the Motown Sessions was also released and followed by the Christmas record, On This Night, and a double cd of love songs, entitled Always.

While he continued to tour nationally, Sam also co-produced the television special Love Letter to New York and supervised and arranged several songs and supervised segments of Michael Jackson's 30 Year Anniversary Special. Sam then moved back to Los Angeles and had barely unpacked when he returned to New York in Mel Brook's smash hit The Producers on Broadway.

Throughout his career, Sam has made appearances on numerous television shows and specials and in countless live productions, working with the legends who influenced him such as Stevie Wonder, Elizabeth Taylor, Elton John, Al Green and, most importantly, a long time collaboration and friendship with Liza Minnelli. He has performed at the White House. He has made guest appearances on every talk show including The Tonight Show, The Today Show, Rosie, Arsenio, Geraldo, Barbara Walters and, in an historic time, performed a stirring "You'll Never Walk Alone" on The Oprah Winfrey Show in the week following September 11th, 2001.

He has also performed in countless benefits for a number of human rights and AIDS organizations, has personally collected funds in every major theatre in the country for Broadway Cares, Equity Fights AIDS, and continues to fight for equal rights and campaign for fair-minded politicians daily.

Sam's most recent triumph was the live show which bared the title he can now claim: SAM. Critics shouted unequaled praise, making it the single most lauded show of the season and audiences cheered and stood at every performance of the 6 month run in Los Angeles. He is currently at work on his latest cd and continues to tour in concert a well as write and act for television and film.
