HHM Spotlight: Damian Dame

I wanted to get back to my regularly schedule post, orginally a Throwback Thursday, I'm so out of it, I can't even think so I had to do snatch from Wikipedia. But life is just amazing and you never know when you're gonna go so appreciate it and live your best life even when things just seem so wacky.

Tomorrow marks the death anniversary of the talented duo Damian Dame, who died on the same day June 27th two years apart.


Damian Dame was an R&B duo consisting of Debra Jean "Deah Dame" Hurd (September 20, 1958-June 27, 1994) and Bruce Edward "Damian" Broadus (September 13, 1966-June 27, 1996).
In 1991, Damian Dame became the first act signed to LaFace Records. The duo's self-titled debut spun off two radio hits, "Exclusivity" and "Right Down To It."

Right before Damian Dame began working on their sophomore album, tragedy struck. Deah was killed in an automobile accident in June of 1994. She was just 35 years old. Damian succumbed to colon cancer in June of 1996, at the age of 29. Ironically, his death came two years to the day of his groupmate's passing.
