The Duprees

Move forward 10 years from the post below and you have a feast of Doo Wop !

The Duprees are an American musical group of doo-wop style who had a series of top-ten singles in the early 1960s. Their highest-charting single, "You Belong to Me" reached No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1962. In 1970, they recorded as The Italian Asphalt & Pavement Company (also credited as I. A. P. CO.) with moderate commercial success.
The Duprees began in the early 1960s in Jersey City, New Jersey. The original group was discovered by George Paxton of Coed Records, who was impressed with their smooth vocal quality. He had them record the Jo Stafford hit, “You Belong to Me,” with big-band back-up and it became their first million-seller. More hits followed, including “My Own True Love,” a vocal adaptation of “Tara’s Theme” from Gone with the Wind, “Have You Heard?” “The Sand and the Sea” and “Let Them Talk.”
