Fighting Temptation: The Damon Harris Story
 | Average Customer Rating: Recommend Damon Harris sang lead for the Temptations in their heyday in the 1970s performing on hits such as “Papa was a Rolling Stone” and “Just My Imagination,” it was Damon's dream to become a Temptation and he fulfilled that dream the day he replaced his idol in the group. But Damon soon learned that fame and stardom isn't at all what it's cracked up to be. In fact, it could be lost and you forgotten about in an instant. Product details and pricing info |

- Just the beginning
- As a true Temptation fan , I am sold on the idea of Amazon shorts. The story of Damon Harris is an open book with many more pages to read .Like life, there is more to a person and this short gives us a taste of the talent Melvin Franklin called (Super Tenor).All of Damon Harris's fans should be excited as I am at what the future writings will reveal .Songbirds! look out , Damon Harris is letting it all out.

- I Want More
- This is what a lot of Motown and Temptations fans were waiting for and I guess we will have to wait for the full book to get more. But, I'm sure it'll be worth the wait.

- Great short story
- This is a great short story from Damon Harris, former member of The Temptations. It really summarizes everything from being a kid from Baltimore, Maryland and his life before and after The Temptations. Great Read! Can't wait for more! :-)

- What an unrevealing story
- This story just reveals so little of Damon's life, it's pathetic. Being from Baltimore, even I know more than was revealed in this book. For instance, why was so little said about Damon's first group, The Vandals ? Why didn't this book mention what happened to Damon and why he left the Temptations ? And what happened to Damon afterwards; such as his having returned to the Vandals and their having gone to New York, changing their name to Impact ( because The Isley Brothers owned the rights to their name,The Vandals ) and recording two Albums, (1)" Impact ", (2)" The Pac Is Back " for Atlantic Records ? Finally, why didn't the writer give us information as to why Impact broke up a second time ? These are certainly questions, that as a Damon Harris fan, I'd want to know about . This book is a very sophmore effort. I expected so much better. Perhaps when the entire book is released, we will get a great deal more qualitative and quantitative information on Damon's life, before, during and after the Temptations.
