@@sheliamccullough9418 hey hey hey

U up a@a

I totally agree

@@jennifersmith8502 The Temptations were at the point of shutting down as a group...Damon and Dennis saved it...every Temptations group since then cannot match them! The two were the most perfect replacements for Ruffin and Kendricks!

💯💯💯💯

@@michellekirkendall818 you ain't never lied. Let's not forget Richard Streets contribution as well.

Dennis Edward's was never underrated, Dennis and David both sung with Eddie Kendrick 4 four years

Tyrone you are correct 100%

I agree

💯

I agree totally!!!! I like Leonard but Damon is just as good as Eddie.

Harris voice could hardly be told apart from Eddie's. To the un Eddie Kendrick educated. Still the smoothest.

only if Damon had lasted..i think it was written some where heard him and Berry could not see eye to eye, or something to this ..a dam shame.

@@tedkay3750 : In Otis Williams's book " The Temptations", Otis said that after a concert as the Temptations were taking their bows, Damon grab the mike and said " The Temptations would like to thank you all for helping us to buy all these diamonds and furs that we have". Otis said, "Damon had to go after those remarks." That is unfortunate because Damon Harris was a good tenor/singer.

Damon Harris very good , could we hear more music from him. Thank you

@@mwizard45 wowwwwwwww that's dam good information because that man could BLOW 😲!!

@@mwizard45 yea he did say that I read Otis read 📚book

Oh wow Melvin killin it too at the bottom!

By

same show? can you explain more im interested. the tempts in 76 were a rare sight!

Never but the best congratulations the 73 Temptations were incredible

Th

The first time I seen The temptations it was at the Latin casino in Cherry Hill the second time I seen them it was in Philadelphia Pennsylvania that's when they had Glen Leonard as the lead tenor but Damon Harris was a very good singer but for some reason we'll feel and very strong used him a lot less than Eddie Kendricks and I wonder why okay his his high notes were on point but for some reason you know he did not stand out at The temptations to leave tenant but nevertheless they were good and when Richard Street replaced Paul Williams he replaced a legacy he replaced one of the most dynamic singers and choreographers in the history of r&b and soul and pop music once again I love The temptations I will always be a temptation

Damon was fired in "75" and Glen Leonard became a member

grew up and went to high school with Damon had a serious tenor used to pratice with a group called the what nots on the street corners of baltimore

@deeliciousgrapes from what I read, Eddie was part of selecting him.

Only in the Distants not the Temptations.

@@jeffreyconyers8735 same thing

@@marekosolomona9390 No it's not.

What about The Spinners?

I love love love the Spinners!!! Also, one of my favorites!

Yeah, fantastic!. I saw this lineup too. Same year (1973), at The Odeon, Hammersmith. Junior Walker & The All Stars were the supporting act. What a night!

@@stormbird7954 1973 Was a good year at HAMMERSMITH ODEON I saw JEAN TERRELL led SUPREMES same venue.

Paul took stage at The RoosterTAIL LOUNGE!!! Screaming LADIES!!

Native NuYoker: I'm not sure if there is film from the Upper Deck but there is the live recorded album with the classic 5. The Temptations Live. On the Gordy label, recorded live at The Roostertail Upper Deck on October 3, 1966.

If you get the opportunity, read Richard Street's book "My Life as a Temptation". It will explain a lot about his experience as a Temptation.

Mal. No se puede creer la coreografia . Temptations Inmortales

@@almadaalejandro That made no sense

I love Damon and Eddie's Voice EQUALLY..Damon was marvelous..great gentle voice

@@beatricebarfield6005 I thought the reason why they fired him was pretty funny. He went on stage and said thanks everybody for buying us Rose Royce's. Lol.

@@beatricebarfield6005 He was only joking because non of them owned a Rolls Rroyce not even the one David Ruffin had in the Movie

I always thought Damon sound like a young teenager filling a grown man shoes

​@@DanielSchmidt94521...that's when he crossed the line

wow first time i see someone comment on richards teeth and actually prefer the gap, but i cant blame him for fixing it i think its natural for someone to dislike that part of themselves i know i would lol but if only he heard your support im sure he would of appreciated it alot

🙏🏽🕯🙏🏽💝

They Won A Grammy, Who was Underrating Them🤔

@@curleanbryant6502 - After the departures of Ruffin, Kendricks and Williams, people tend to view the subsequent lineups of "The Temptations" as being not being in the same league (despite having talented members). Hence they often get overlooked and not viewed with the same regard as the 1964-1971 "golden period" of the group.

Heavenly

With David and Eddie's blessings

It was beautiful. Richard could go.

+713skywalker, It's a shame that you all claim that Otis could not (cannot) sing.........The success of a group is as good/bad as the worse singer. Which proves that all the Temps had good voices and could sing. Just because he fired David did not take anything away from his voice. I love David Ruffin, BUT he allowed his success as the lead singer to get to his head. David joined the group after it was already formed. He replaced a member who walked away from the group, out of frusration, of not getting a hit song from Motown. And he should not have tried to hold the group hostage to change it's name to David Ruffin and The Temptation......It's his ego and his drugs addiction that led to his downfall. With all of your rave about David's great voice, he had only two hits over a ten year period.........WITH ALL THAT BEAUTIFUL VOICE OF HIS......He did not achieve the success he wanted or thought he could have had as a solo artist, so get off Otis' back

+713skywaker......I also give him credit for keeping the group alive and a household name for over 50 years, adapting and keeping up with the changes in the music industry. The man runs the group like a company, CEO (lead singer) comes and CEO (lead singer) goes but the company (group) goes on......Now that is so smart of him

713skywalker ,That's all Lol

I don't know if he is good for that.

@@jeed2924 Excellent analogy.

To the Best Group ever, the Temptations Forever, there will NEVER be another🎤🎵🎶❤️🎙️

I have a chance to see them at the legendary Regal Theater 47th and King Drive Chicago Illinois mini X other groups including the king of soul James Brown and mr. Spectacular Jackie Wilson

Also let's not forget about Richard Street who replaced Paul Williams

Yeap he bought that power that left with Paul.

...saw the Temps in the early 70's...David and Eddie had left it was 4 of them...Otis was hitting Eddie's note with ease...then I seen them with the Ojays and Melvin was missing

Destiny's Girl , really? I didn’t know Damon is dead. Only knew of Denis in 2018. Wow! I will never stop loving these guys...The Temptations.

@@yacubsalih2640 yea Damon has been gone for a few years now

The best of what

Silly reply,

@@theettabell153 NOT IF YOU'RE SAYING THAT'S HE'S BETTER THAN EDDIE ,IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'LL SAYING THAN WAS A SILLY COMMENT FROM YOU ........A VERY SILLY COMMENT

Can't make short statement ,then somebody Takes it all wrong I did not say anything against Eddie Further more I knew them but won't get into that

Actually Richard was an original member. When he & another member left, enter David. He came back again to help when Paul started drinking too much for shows and he returned permanently after Paul was out. But he was an original member

@@reemj3675 no. Richard was a member of Otis and the Distance. Never was he apart of The Primes. The Primes then added Otis and Melvin and Al to their group and still went as The Primes until going as The Elgins and then The Tempts. Also Paul had sickle cell so drinking was his cope

TEMPTATIONS no matter the lineup BEST male group ever and then the Dramatics.. Tempts 4ever

I believe dennis was a very good person he didn't deserve the treatment he got in his last days 😔 very sad

R I P DAMON DENNIS MELVIN DAVID AND PAULAND EDDIE

Omg yes! They tear this song up!!!!! "I felt the earth move in my hand like a trembling heart of a captive bird," Dam!!!!

That is Damon Harris, not Eddie.
