William Alexander "Poogie" Hart[1] (January 17, 1945[2] – July 14, 2022) was an American soul singer, and lead singer for The Delfonics, which also included his younger brother Wilbert Hart.

Some of the group's hits on the Billboard R&B and pop charts included "La-La - (Means I Love You)", "Ready Or Not Here I Come (Can't Hide From Love)", and "Didn't I (Blow Your Mind This Time)".

[12] A 2007 court agreement decided that both brothers could use the name, just as long as the difference between two groups was obviously noted.

[14] Hart worked with Major Harris (who was Cain's replacement in the Delfonics), and Frank Washington (who sang for The Spinners from 2003 to 2007) to record the album "Forever New".

[15] In 2007, Hart, Russell Thompkins Jr. of The Stylistics, and Ted Mills of Blue Magic released the album "Three Tenors of Soul".
