The Temptations

One of the greatest, if not the greatest, R&B groups of all times is the Temptations. Original group members included Paul Williams, Eddie Kendricks, Melvin Franklin, David Ruffin and the only surviving member, Otis Williams. But did you know that to date there has been over 20 members in this remarkable group. The group had it's early start in Detroit under the name, “The Elgins” but came into national fame under the Motown umbrella of entertainment which was started and ran by it's CEO, Barry Gordy. One of my all time favorites in the group is Otis Harris Jr. who goes by the name Damon Harris. Damon was with the group from 1971-75 and at 20 years old, he was the youngest member back then. I had a chance to meet Damon in Baltimore when he first joined the group and I can honestly say that he had a falsetto that rivaled Eddie Kendricks.
