Originally released on Fantasy Records in the '70s,
Damon Harris'
Silk is a quality release. The first thing that grabs you is
Harris' uncanny vocal resemblance to
Eddie Kendricks, whom he replaced in
the Temptations. The upbeat tracks are lightweight but pleasing, with imaginative basslines, but it's the midtempo songs and ballads that demand your attention, particularly the romantic "Funday" and "Actresses." The upbeat rompers "It's Music," "Dish It Out," and "Silk" are dance-club specials. Female vocal group Breeze accompany
Harris on these eight tracks.
