The
Duprees are known the world over for their romantic interpretations of some
of the most beautiful love songs ever written.
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.
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.
