Raymond "Ray" Davis (born March 29, 1940, in Sumter, South Carolina - died July 5, 2005, New Brunswick, New Jersey) was the original bass singer and one of the founding members of The Parliaments, Parliament and Funkadelic. He also performed in The Original P which consisted of four founding members of Parliament, and he was briefly in The Temptations. Davis replaced the original bass singer of the Temptations Melvin Franklin on the album For Lovers Only and was in the group after Franklin's death in 1995. Davis left the group after being diagnosed with throat cancer. In later years, he performed with former Temptation Glenn Leonard in Leonard's group, The Temptations Experience. Davis died on the evening of Tuesday, July 5, 2005, of respiratory problems.
