The group, originally from Jersey City, N.J. was dicovered in 1962 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 groups first Million Seller.

The unmistakable sound of THE DUPREES' was born and the hits kept rolling:

YOU BELONG TO ME
THE SAND AND THE SEA
MY OWN TRUE LOVE
WHERE ARE YOU
GINNY
IT ISN'T FAIR
GONE WITH THE WIND
I'M YOURS
TAKE ME AS I AM
LET THEM TALK
WHY DON'T YOU BELIEVE ME
EXODUS
HAVE YOU HEARD
I UNDERSTAND
LOVE EYES
GOODNIGHT MY LOVE
IT'S NO SIN
TWO DIFFERENT WORLDS
