The
Duprees are known the world over for their romantic interpretations of some of the most
beautiful love songs ever written. They have made a career out of giving new life to old
hits. If you take the Glenn Miller arrangements of the 1940's along with the tunes of Joni
James, Frank Sinatra, Jo Stafford, Nat King Cole, (just to name a few) and put them
together, you have the sound of The Duprees.Starting out in the early
sixties, in Jersey City, New Jersey,
The Duprees were formed by Michael J. Arnone. They were discovered by George Paxton, the
president of Coed Records and former big band leader from the 1940's. Impressed with The
Duprees' smooth vocal quality, he had them record Jo Stafford's 1950's ballad "You
Belong To Me" with Big Band arrangements. It was an instant national hit and the
group's first Million Seller. The unmistakable sound was born and the hits kept rolling:
1962 You Belong To Me ˇ 1962 My Own True Love ˇ 1963 Gone With
The Wind ˇ 1963 Take Me As I Am ˇ 1963 Why Don't You Believe Me ˇ 1963 Have You Heard
ˇ 1963 Love Eyesˇ 1963 It's No Sin ˇ 1963 The Sand And The Sea ˇ 1964 Where Are You ˇ
1964 It Isn't Fairˇ 1965 I'm Yours ˇ 1966 Let Them Talk ˇ 1966 Exodus ˇ 1967 I
Understand ˇ 1969 Two Different Worlds
In 1987 the group celebrated their 25th year in the recording
business with a Silver Anniversary Album containing 25 of the most requested songs (one
for each year).
In 1994, at the request of their die-hard fans, The Duprees
released a long-awaited Christmas album titled "A Duprees Christmas" featuring
some of the greatest Christmas songs ever recorded.
The Duprees celebrated 35 years in show business in 1997. Their
journey continues with their latest album release titled "Till The End Of Time".
This new CD is a collection of songs with new and exciting arrangements of old standards
combined with some original selections.
With their unique sound and outstanding vocal harmonies, The
Duprees are still entertaining audiences in major venues throughout the world; appearing
with some of the biggest names in show business. Although there have been changes over the
years, the group is still intact and still performing to standing ovations at each
performance.
