They sound good...but...The story goes like this......The Duprees originated out of Jersey City in 1961....With Mike Kelly singing lead(no hits with him) I believe he went to Columbia Records...and a guy named Joey Cavano took over.(1962)His stage name was Joey Vann. He is the one that sang all the hits......"Have you Heard",You Belong to Me",Ginny,etc.etc etc.He sang with them 'till 1964. I believe all the originals have died.Joey passed on around 1981.
Richie Rosato, doing this on the PBS Special, gave me chills hearing & watching the guys --they looked so good, sounded fantastic, & Richie's voice was magic. The Best of The Duprees, for certain. Wolfsky9
I remember reading somewhere that the original lead singer of the Duprees died. After Richie left, Some guy named Tom Setillo or something like that became the lead singer. When you here the original version of "You Belong To Me" the lead singer sounds just like Richie singing
@britinabq ...sorry to say but Mike died years ago

I love Richie's voice. He has the best voice ever. It's a shame the Duprees brought back the original lead singer. He doesn't compare with Richie.
