Profile

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. Consisting of John Salvato, Tommy Bialoglow, Joey Canzano, Joey Santollo, and Michael Arnone, The Duprees were discovered by George Paxton, the president of Coed Records and a 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.

With their unique sound and outstanding vocal harmonies, The Duprees are still entertaining audiences in major venues throughout the world and 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.
