Fred Parris was (and still is) the lead voice in the classic doo wop group The Five Satins, who had a huge hit with In the Still of the Nite.
Dark At The Top Of My Heart is a little later, late 60s, early 70s. But over a pulsating bass and funky backbeat the doo wop roots stand proud. Listen to the harmonies over the 'top of my heart' line.
Beautiful stuff.

It's off a Goldmine CD Northern Soul Fever Vol 2. I've only heard a few other 'Northern' type bits; they're not as good as this, but that almost crooner vocal is the same.
hell if this was the only thing he ever did he'd be a star in my heavens

I can imagine Dexy's covering this....that bass! FAB.
