A digital reissue of a Norman Harris and Thom Bell written song "Standing In The Darkness" recorded by The Ethics in 1970 on Vent. It's a great example of the embryonic Philly Sound and was played on the Northern Soul scene.
The Ethics formed in 1967 and members included Ron Tyson who left in 1970 to join
The Temptations. The group had two minor R&B hit as The Ethics
"Farewell" (the flip "I Want My Baby Back" was also picked up on by the UK
Northern Soul scene) and "Tell Me".
By 1974 they had changed their name to
Love Committee (with Tyson re-joining them having left the Temptations) who had three minor R&B hits between
1976-78. ("Heaven Only Knows", "Cheaters Never Win" and "Law And
Order").
Their debut album "Law And Order" was posted last year which inlcudes their last two hits

Very interesting band from the Philly sound. A nice compilation "The Best Of The Ethics" was released in 2003 (Jamie 4022).
