The DUPREES – You Belong to Me
£8.99 inc. VAT
THE DUPREES, five white teenagers of Italian extraction, emerged in New York during the early 1960s DooWop revival and immediately established themselves as the outstanding revivalists of classic oldies, of their generation.
They registered a US Top 10, million-selling 45rpm the first time out with a powerful update of the much-covered ‘You Belong To Me’, originally a 1952 #1 for Jo Stafford.
It was followed by equally impressive revivals of ‘My Own True Love’ (aka ‘Tara’s Theme’, from ‘Gone With The Wind’), ‘Why Don’t You Believe Me’ and a series of similarly-styled releases, thus embarking on a run of success which would ultimately be halted by the English Invasion.
