Former Temptations Member Otis "Damon" Harris Dead at 62
4:38AM Friday
March 1, 2013

Former Temptations member Otis "Damon" Harris died last Monday of prostate cancer at a Baltimore hospice. He'd been battling prostate cancer for 14 years, according to The Baltimore Sun. Harris was 62 years old.

Harris performed with The Temptations from 1971 and 1975 and was featured on such hits as "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone" and "Take a Look Around."

Harris changed his first name to Damon upon joining the group, since The Temptations already had a member named Otis, founding member Otis Williams.

Harris went on to release recordings with another group, Impact, and as a solo artist.
