Flashback Friday: You Belong To Me

 

 

"See the pyramids along the Nile,

Watch the sunrise on a tropic isle,

Just remember, darling, all the while,

You belong to me..."

 One of the best singing groups of the Doo-wop generation, the boys
from Jersey City, better known as The Duprees, released their 
sensational version of the classic romance song,
"You Belong To Me" in June, 1962.

 It became their highest chart single, reaching Number 7
 on the Billboard Hot 100 that same year.

Still never fails to crowd the dance floor!

But wait...there's more!  The Duprees also recorded another,
less familiar love song called, "My Own True Love".  Also
released in 1962, this song is based on one of the greatest
American love stories of all time!  Listen carefully.
Can you guess which couple the boys are singing about?
