noir-ish doo wop?

I am head-over-heels for this song:

Terry Brown & the Marquees, "Stay With Me"

And I'm wondering if there's a trove of stuff like this out there that I'm missing out on. I feel like "I Only Have Eyes For You" is on this tip, too.

As my knowledge of this era is pretty much limited to those cassettes you used to be able to buy in gas stations, allow me to get in line behind you. I don't think I breathed or blinked til I hit reload.

Nice track. I'm a huge fan of the I Only Have Eyes For You version I assume you're talking about and would love to know if there's more stuff like that.

Also although it's not the same style, I feel like there's a cousin to this vibe in Thin Line Between Love and Hate by the Persuaders.

"Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" by The Platters seems noirish to me. Smoke and betrayal and anguish but maintaining your cool.

Damn that Terry Brown in the OP is great.

limited knowledge (this is basically the one doo-wop song I always mention), but maybe Gloria by the Cadillacs:
