The Pain Gets A Little Deeper' was soul music's equivalent of Frankie Lymon's 'Why Do Fools Fall In Love' - young, vulnerable, heart-felt vocals that belied the singer's years. It entered the charts in January 1966 and catapulted the 14 year-old Darrow Fletcher to fame in the R&B world, particularly in his home city of Chicago. Elton John has cited the recording as one of the best soul records he has ever heard. The 'My Judgement Day' flip demonstrated that there was depth to Darrow's talent and a fruitful career followed.
