If you wondered why you don’t see more of 8-year-old King Harris in episodes of his parents’ reality show, T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle, that’s because King is an official member of The Tams!
For months now King has been on the road touring and performing as a regular member of The Tams, who have been entertaining audiences for over 40 years!
The Tams was founded by Tameka’s father, Charles Pope, who was forced to retire due to illness. The Tams are famous for such hits as “Be Young, Be Foolish, Be Happy”, “What Kind of Fool”, “I’ve Been Hurt” and “Untie Me”. According to The Tams’ official website, the group has 2 Gold Records and 1 Platinum Single.
When King (pictured left) expressed an interest in joining the group, his uncle Redd (Tameka “Tiny” Harris’ brother) taught King The Tams’ dance moves, and incorporated King and his cousins, Jordan, 6, (right) and Mikai, 5, (center) into the group. Jordan is the son of Tameka’s sister Michelle and her husband Elton; and Mikai is Redd’s son.
The boys add an exciting dimension to the group that spans several generations!
