Damon Harris - I fell in love

Damon Harris was a member of The Temptations from 1971 to 1975, as original member Eddie Kendricks' replacement. At the time he joined the group, he was 20 and by far their youngest member. He had been such a big fan of the group even before joining that he had previously been a part of another group called The Young Tempts who had released a few singles on former Motown group The Isley Brothers' T-Neck label. Not surprisingly, Motown filed suit and they changed their name to The Young Vandals. Fast-forward to 1975, after a four year tenure Harris was ousted from the Temptations, apparently because of issues with group leader Otis Williams. After leaving the fold, he reformed the Young Tempts/Vandals under the name 'Impact.' They would end up releasing only a couple of albums and neither were big sellers, but both have become quite highly regarded today.

To me this guy was the closest voice if not a better voice then Eddie Kendricks! no disrespect! a smooth voice! R.I.P Damon HARRIS!

[@caraavon4285]

Victor Avant Smooth yes, Eddie has a distinctive song, Damon’s closely matches the sound. But he has his own style... both sound beautiful❤️

[@o0R3stless0o]

This song goes hard!

[@ComptonOriginal]

One of my favorite parts in the Temptations movie is his verse in the studio when they were recording Papa Was A Rollin Stone...damn!!

[@normaj.3305]

Thanks for sharing another beautiful Damon Harris song that I had never heard.

[@Jazzysis]

Damon Harris has such a smooth voice. Can't understand why this album didn't do well back in the day.

[@godschildyes]

Politics and people pulling and clipping strings behind the scenes.

RIP

r.i.p damon

[@michelleobamaok3675]

ALL of the BEST voices of the Temptations has now been laid to rest. That one original remaining is not known for his singing chops, but for his nasty, Berry Gordy ways. Payback when this man’s image was flashed all over the world for a week upon his death. The name was Otis, but not that damned non singing, backstabbing Otis-the creep!

[@marianlieajen3057]

i m going crazy for this song

[@cozycool3505]

Note : Baltimore's own homegrown talent , went to same high school ( Forest Park High) with his other talented buddy Billy Griffin , who replaced Smokey Robinson to lead the Miracles to their only bonafide #1 hit 🎼"I'm just a love machine "!
