The Duprees was a doo-wop group which had a series of hits during the early
1960s.
Group History
The group was founded in the early 1960s in Jersey City, New Jersey by Michael
Arnone, Joe Santollo, John Salvato, Tom Bialoglow, and lead singer Joey Canzano
(later known as Joey Vann). George Paxton, a former big band leader was impressed
by the group's style and signed them to his Coed Records label. Their first
single "You Belong to Me" had previously been a hit for Jo Stafford
in 1952. The Duprees' version was given a big band backing by Paxton and reached
the US top ten in 1962.
The band had more top 40 hits in the next few years. "My Own True Love" was a vocal adaptation of "Tara's Theme" from the soundtrack of Gone with the Wind and became the group's second hit. "Have You Heard" and "Why Don't You Believe Me" also reached the Top 40 charts and, like "You Belong to Me," were originally early 50s female vocal hits (Joni James, in this case). The band became known for mixing doo-wop vocals with big band arrangements. Tom Bialoglow left in 1963. Mike Kelly, who had recorded on the group's original demos for George Paxton, replaced Joey Vann as lead vocalist in 1964.
