Parris and his wife Yvonne had two sons, Christopher and David, and one daughter, Kathy.[3] He died on 7 September 1992.[3][where?]
Parris was a consummate performer with a large, booming bass voice and a dynamic personality that made him a crowd favorite.[2][3] He was famous for his renditions of "At the Crossing" and "Little Boy Lost", but "Heaven Came Down" and "Everybody Ought to Know" are his signature songs.[2]
