Here's an interesting one. Denita is Denita James of Hodges, James & Smith and was Kim Weston's cousin. She released a solo single in 1966 on Flip "I Have Feelings Too" / "Wild Side" which she co-wrote with Clifford Davis and has had spins on the Northern soul scene.
She was then a member of The Naturelles (aka The Natura'elles) who released a couple of singles on Venture in 1968 "Love Has Joined Us Together" / "Show Me The Way" and 1969 "Show Me The Way" / "So Much In Need". Venture was soul subsidiary of MGM run by former Motown writer/producer William 'Mickey' Stevenson.
I'm guessing here, but Damion looks very like Damon Harris (Otis Robert Harris) of The Temptations (who changed his name when he joined them in 1971 as there was already an Otis, Otis Williams). If anyone can confirm or deny please leave a comment.
Damion & Denita released just one single and one album on Rocket in 1980. The selected track "It's The Feeling I Get" (cherry picked from Gary Van Den Bussche's Starpoint radio show today) is from their self-titled 1980 album and was co-written by Stevenson who also produced the album.
