He was the first tenor in the Tempts after Eddie Kendricks left/got left by the group, from 1971 until Otis fired him in 1975. He had a long battle with prostate cancer.

He's the fellow asking Mama why he heard Papa was a "jack of all trades" on a certain 12-minute Temptations monster hit.

Former Temptations member Damon Harris passes at 62
Posted: Tuesday, February 19, 2013 8:59 am

According to Billy Wilson of the Motown Alumni Association, former Temptations member Damon Harris (born Otis Robert Harris, Jr.) died Monday evening at the age of 62.
Wilson’s report didn’t reveal the cause of death, but Harris had been suffering from prostate cancer.

Harris was born on July 17, 1950 in Baltimore, Maryland. He took the place of Eddie Kendricks, one of the original lead singers of the Temptations group. He was only Twenty years old when he joined the group, and was the youngest member of The Temptations during his time with the group.

Wilson says Harris was such an effective replacement for Kendricks, that most people did not know it was Harris’ voice on the Grammy award-winning hits “Cloud Nine,” “Psychedelic Shack,” and other 70s Temptations hits. His tenure was from 1971 to 1975.
After leaving the legendary organization, Harris formed a Temptations tribute band named The Young Tempts (aka The Young Vandals).The group had a release that charted on the Isley Brothers label T-Neck. He also had a few minor regional hits in a group called Impact. Harris also put out an album titled “Damon Harris: Silk” in the 70s under Fantasy records; he re-released the album under his own accord in 1995.

The singer was diagnosed for cancer while making a comeback into the music industry.
