BALTIMORE -- Otis "Damon" Harris, a former member of the Temptations, has died of prostate cancer. He was 62.

Chuck Woodson, a cousin serving as family spokesman, confirmed that Mr. Harris died at a Baltimore hospice last week.

Mr. Harris performed with the celebrated Motown act the Temptations from 1971 to 1975 and sang on hits including Papa Was a Rollin' Stone and Superstar (Remember How You Got Where You Are).

Woodson said joining the Temptations was "the realization of a dream" for Mr. Harris.

Mr. Harris formed a new group after leaving the Temptations and later released solo recordings.
