NO one "belongs" to anyone else. Slavery has been abolished. There were never any leashes and collars in my world. And yes, jealousy denies freedom and is counter productive as well as destructive. Freedom is precious and a God given right.
Everyone else has commented how great is this song and how better and simpler were the times back then...and you come out with this shit....man your sad...very sad.
I'm a fan of the songs of that era too - from the 50's when I was a teenager. But, if truth be told, I never really fit in. I was, after all, an intellectual, and people stayed away from me like I was the plague. Funny thing is, I'm still an intellectual lo these 50 years since....and I still don't fit in. (PS...not fitting in never really bothered me...in fact I used to and still relish it).
Just so you all know I as a lady in her 80's loved this kind of music growing up too and still love to listen to it.........Never leaves your mind I guess......Enjoy!!!!
I know no one will believe me but my Mother dated one of these guys way way back in the day. . . for a short time. . . we lived in Kearny New Jersey by Newark & NY City. . his name was Joey Santolo . . . I am 42 now but damn I still love their song's and oldies ! ! !
Hey fella's remember listening parties when a new album came out getting some of the gang together to listen to all the tracks, look at the album art.. man those were the days!!!
Met my girl at my high school locker, i needed a date for the valentines ball, i was 16 and so was she... that was in 79, we are still together, next year will be 30 yrs married our song is Unchained Melody by the Righteous Brothers (WAY BEFORE) the movie Ghost came out... This music set the stage for the 60's and 70's back when musicians had talent and guitars/drums/bass not computer loops!!!
Have u lied? Have u stolen? Jesus said if you look at a women with lust u have committed adultery with her in your heart.
If God judge’s u by the Ten Commandments will u be innocent or guilty? Heaven or Hell? The Bible teaches despise the value of your eye compared to the value of your soul. would u sell your eye for a million dollars? And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. needgod.com
OMG! I Loved the Duprees! I always played this song, and sang it. Loved it my Favorite!Thanks so much! There will never be another group like them, and the other Great groups of the 50's and 60's, all Awesome! GIGI
@TheGabz13 On the stool is Mike Kelly, moving down, is Mike Arnone, then Joe Santollo, then John Salvato. This is 1962 and Mike Kelly is lip-synching to the recording of Joey Vann the original lead singer of the Duprees.
Oldies rule! Thanks ma for making me a fan of the best music of mankind, I love my classic rock, reggae, and even disco and punk, but nothing tops the doo wop days and it's music..
This is the music that I was very fortunate to grow up with. Life had problems back then but nothing like we have to deal with today. I wish all young people could have had that environment to be raised in.
Mike Kelly has his own version of "You Belong To Me" on the Heritage label, it is really terrific! I much prefer it! You should also listen to him sing "This Land Is Mine" (Exodus). What a voice!!
Wow,Good info.. so the guy in the video is Mike Kelly and not the original recorded vocalist Joey Vann. I wonder why Vann was not in this video? Maybe he was ill or they had a falling out.
@wienerline Have more info on Mike Kelly but reluctant to post as it may not be well received by the Kelly clan, and I would not want to hurt MK's feelings....He is recovering from an 'illness' right now....
Here I am in my 1955 Chevy 3 speed, with Hurst shifter, 283 V8 getting gears on my way to pick up my Girl. It has a 1961 chevy steering wheel and buick tail ights and it is an awsome machine, with crager mags!
@MiaVitaBella No missy, you have to make foot prints in your own era so that your kids can remember your time. Oldies are great but so are lots of the music that came after.
@MiaVitaBella i cant agree more im a greaser i love 50s music and love my country...im only 14 and i wish it was the 50s but half of my school dosent know anything about then.they like todays crapy music
@icebreakersist And back then, people were true to their lovers too. Remember, it wasn't only the music that was better. It was everything; the people were nice, the cars were better, etc. Even the world was a better place. I only wish I could have lived in that time.
Amazing how to see how popular my Dad was back then (and still is). On the other hand, it's sad to see how the current clowns (parading around as the Duprees) are reaping all the benefits from the foundation laid over 40 years ago. A shame that Mike Arnone didn't communicate with John Salvato, Joe Santollo and my Dad (Mike Kelly). They (collectively) should be the ones with a controlling interest in the group..not Testa. It really is sad. (over 1 million views)
@LaffsOnTheHarbor ABSOLUTELY!!!! Your dad was and is still very popular. He was very handsome with a tremendous voice. Love this video and watch it as much as possible.
Estimated friend, if you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - looks for his direction URL in Google ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is great, is very good ...!!!
A nice fall evening in Central Jersey parked alongside the canal running the kength of the Black Horse Pike. Sandy in my arms with this particular song playing on the radio. Oh what a night shouldv'e been the next disk to be played as it sure was one I'll never forget.
There used to be some footage on youtube or google video with The Duprees sitting in a tv-show doing an a-capella song. I LOVED THAT!!! where did it go? Anyone here who has it and wants to upload it?? PLEASE??
@redfordforpresident ..they're also 2 great love songs red, no arguement here. i like the you belong to me better, but hey, that's what makes the world go 'round...
@1ED2DD Are you my father? Seriously, my Mom and Dad (67&65) danced to this in Philly and they have been married ever since. I grew up listening to this type of music and haven't stopped. I am 46. Glad to see some people still believe in marriage one time. Eric
@TheEnabler23 I'm probably not your father, my wife & i are from Mountain View, Ca. I thank God everyday that i met and married my high school sweetheart on 7-3-64 and we have two great kids a son 45 and a daughter 40.
Wonderful song, so evocative that it makes a time before I was even born come within reaching distance.
I can picture this being played in a quiet diner in the early 60's - all the beautiful old cars parked outside - lovely demure girls quietly talking - newspapers being read - a kindly cop draining the last of his coffee - a slower pace of life - more innocent times.
@Sointula2 This version came out in 60's', but yes the original did come out in the 50's and it's fair to say even this version has more of a 50's feel to it.
@lysjanvier I know there was a seamy underside to all the innocence, but I think on the surface at least it was a more refined and respectful time. I've only seen a bit of Mad Men but enough to see your point about innocent times, heh.
All the guys in a dark room. Never enough girls. But you did your best to attract one to grind with. This was one of the songs that made it happen. It was in LA for me. I am 58 now. Didn't get married until 39 :) Still married to the one I married. I wish sweetness to all who remember.
Ye gotta love it! Simply put, th boys from Jersey City! Yeeah, myself born on 346 Paterson Plank Rd. But ya gotta say it like da oldtimers used to -- JOISEY CITY!
I am 64,and always loved to dance.In NYC,Friday Nite Dance at Rhinelander's C.A.S.(Childrens Aid Society ),25cents and your in.Blue swede shoes,or Pat Boon white bucks were worn by a few.Not me,Tom McKan pointy black shoes with the double buckle,and the thin soles that wore out in 2 weeks.Good "dancin kicks".I went with many girls,we were friends,made out with some,but friends,they all wanted me,anyway.And the "slow dances" "The figure 8",and "The Grind",yup,sweaty arm pits to the bone,home.
@TEAKMAN1 That is the best part about oldies is that every word can be understood and they were not cuss words not words that glorified rape and violence. It is sad that music of today has come to this sad situation.
bengraven one of the most beautiful and meaningful songs i`ve ever herd in my life. be sure to tell you`re wife every morning and night how much you LOVE her and i promise you`re love will never fade. Ron
I would like to take a moment and thank everyone for there caring and thoughtful comments. i know its been over three years since she has gone and i`ve been told time heals all wounds , it helps but it sure does not in any way repair the heart. it is easier though and maybe some day the hole will close. thank you all very much.....Ron
At least my wife gets it--she belongs to me, I belong to her, and we both belong to our dog, Tori! Unlike some, my wife knows the score. I definitely sent her a tape of "You're the One that I Love," by the Vogues during a 6-month separation we had to endure. never sent her this song, didn't have it and radio didn't play it.
I honestly can not stand the music today. I grew up in the Late 60's and 70's and was blessed by the most wonderful music ever. Songs like this always played at my house. My mother played this song all the the time. Great song and thank you for posting it. God Bless
I, too am 64, and the two guys I dated in high school graduated in 1964. I love this song - brings back memories of all of the wonderful, innocent things being a teen in the 60's was all about. Sadly, both are gone - I married one for ten years, but eventually divorced.
I'm 57 and can relate to " emmyhizer" my wife and I were boyfriend and girlfriend at 15,we married at 18. She is everything to me and a day does not go by with one of us telling the other "I love you". Lord willing, we still have many more years together. Elder Vince
I Adore this Song! Ray this is for you, in Heaven! Love you forever My Darling, Your Baby GIGI

Do the times make the music-or the music make the times? This is real music no matter when you were born.

Gee could it be the singer? Ya think?
Good luck in court Michael Kelly on getting the Duprees trademark you and other members so richly deserve.

All the guys in a dark room. Never enough girls. But you did your best to attract one to grind with. This was one of the songs that made it happen. It was in LA for me. I am 58 now. Didn't get married until 39 :) Still married to the one I married. I wish sweetness to all who remember.

@TEAKMAN1 That is the best part about oldies is that every word can be understood and they were not cuss words not words that glorified rape and violence. It is sad that music of today has come to this sad situation.

At least my wife gets it--she belongs to me, I belong to her, and we both belong to our dog, Tori! Unlike some, my wife knows the score. I definitely sent her a tape of "You're the One that I Love," by the Vogues during a 6-month separation we had to endure. never sent her this song, didn't have it and radio didn't play it.

I honestly can not stand the music today. I grew up in the Late 60's and 70's and was blessed by the most wonderful music ever. Songs like this always played at my house. My mother played this song all the the time. Great song and thank you for posting it. God Bless

I, too am 64, and the two guys I dated in high school graduated in 1964. I love this song - brings back memories of all of the wonderful, innocent things being a teen in the 60's was all about. Sadly, both are gone - I married one for ten years, but eventually divorced.

I'm 57 and can relate to " emmyhizer" my wife and I were boyfriend and girlfriend at 15,we married at 18. She is everything to me and a day does not go by with one of us telling the other "I love you". Lord willing, we still have many more years together. Elder Vince
