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, Why Don't You Believe Me and a series of similarly-styled releases.
