An Afternoon with The Duprees
June 26, 2022 at 2PM
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 the big band standards and old hits. If you take the Glenn Miller arrangements of the 1940s along with the tunes of Joni James, Frank Sinatra, Jo Stafford, Nat King Cole, (just to name a few) and the vocal harmonies of Tom Petillo, Phil Granito, and Jimmy Spinelli and put them together, you have the sound of THE DUPREES.
The group, originally from Jersey City, New Jersey, was discovered by George Paxton, the president of Coed Records and former big band leader from the 1940’s. Impressed with THE DUPREES’s smooth vocal quality, he had them record Jo Stafford’s 1950’s ballad “YOU BELONG TO ME” with a Big Band arrangement. It was an instant national hit and the group’s first Million Seller. The unmistakable sound of THE DUPREES was born and the hits kept rolling!
