    Before his health went bad, he preached at my church in Mississippi. Many of us in South Mississippi remember him also as Rev. James Harris. He was a great man and will forever be missed. RIP to the legend Rev. Harris aka Kamala🙏🏽🙏🏽

    I got quite a FUNNY story about Kamala!
    When we were kids they told us that if we got good grades they'd pay for us to go to the wrestling matches! We scored a near perfect 98 A+ average for the whole 2nd grade and got to go! None of us got to see the card for that night and thus we didn't know Kamala was going to be in the main event and we ALL had front row seats! When we heard his music and him coming out with the smoke, staff, voodoo mask and the moon and stars paintings we were all so scared that as if we were a single unit we all ran up the stair and out of the Amarillo Colosseum! Our teachers had to get about 200 students calm!

    back in the days before James Harris adopted the persona and character of Kamala,he was known as "Sugar Bear" Harris in the Mid-South and in Tennessee championship wrestling and most of the smaller independent wrestling federation's down south back in the day,and I guess James Harris had to kick up his wrestling style up a notch to not only gain recognition in pro wrestling but in worldwide professional wrestling is well,and I guess he did what he had to do to not only strengthen his wrestling career but the further his wrestling career as well in which he did so successfully over the course of maybe thirty something years.... it's so sad to see a wrestler like James "Kamala" Harris pass away from diabetes at the age of 60,and diabetes was the very thing that not only had ended Kamala's professional wrestling career,but it also robbed him of his legs below the knees, and it's so sad to see one of the most finest wrestlers in our profession and our generation to leave this world due to diabetes,so I just want to take this time out to say Kamala thank you so very much for the many memories that you have given us hardcore wrestling fans including myself....rest in peace James "Kamala" Harris.... and thank you for the wonderful memories that you've given us wrestling fans.❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹😢😢😢😢💯💯💯💯🤜🏿🤛🏿

      Vince mcmahons place in hell is all reserved when he croaks for the way he treated Kamala not to mention all the others who worked for him

    Man I believed he was real when I was a kid, I say kid, maybe I was 20!! Love seeing him out of character with Mean Gene. RIP.

    I only spent 6 years in the business and met so many of the top guys and doing jobs for them. Of all the men I ever met in this selfish business James Kamala was one of the nicest down to earth people I ever met. Super nice man, may he have true peace in his after life, no more suffering no more pain. RIP big man you are missed. Nuff said
