The Duprees - Have You Heard- DOO-WOP Oldies

A true Oldie but Goodie

[@Azishome]

I came here to listen to the music. I played it again for the video. Really nice job.

[@Wolfsky9]

I consider it one of the Greatest Blessings of my life to have grown up in the Mid-50's through the 60's & 70's. No matter what, no matter when, no matter where, " Have You heard" will always be a vocal treasure. Joey V & The Guys never, ever, sounded so good. When he hits the chorus, & comes in with " Haaaaaaave You hearrrrd, Of their wedding Dayyyyy? " I get tears, it's so beautiful. Wolfsky9

Late Fall, 1963, I was 17 y/o, A Senior in High School, & I fell in love with this masterpiece the 1st time I heard it; 46+ years later, it's better than ever. To Joey Vann, Mike/ John/ & Joe S., GBY Forever. Wolfsky9

When this song came out in the Fall of '63 my Dad was a senior in high school. Don't know if he liked this song or not because he never told me and I never had a chance to ask, but I love it and for some reason can picture him in his youth listening to it. He turned out to be more of a "rocker" and there's nothing wrong with that. However, he liked his Doo-Wop and I'd bet he enjoyed this in his heyday. "Have You Heard," Dad, you're missed and thought of every day.

Beautifully executed song that was actually recorded very late for the doo-wop era! I only first heard this song about a dozen years ago, though I've lived 2 score and 5 (45 years). And I also never tire of it!! Just listened to 3 of the Duprees other songs for the first time on youtube. Just a treat to listen to!!

[@jgordainc]

Also reminds me of my 8th grade Crush " Virginia " , After we graduated to different HS's never saw again!

[@Azishome]

@TommyGdVw Thanks for sharing your thoughts about your Dad with us. God bless you and his memory.

[@Wolfsky9]

" Have You Hearrrrrd, of their Wedding Dayyyyyy? " Sing it Joey V., as only you could, now & for always. Wolfsky9

[@GiGi-po8yc]

One of the greatest songs. The harmony is fantastic.

[@deni0.0.7]

I've loved this classic since it came out, but now with this awesome video, I can enjoy it even more! 💖 Thank you so much, really a great job! 🎵

[@Wolfsky9]

From the Fall of '63, Joey Vann [ Canzano] , Mike Arnone, Joey Santolo, & John Salvato, arrangement by George Paxton. I was 17 y/o, a Senior, & this is one song that Just--truly Just --gets better with time. Wolfsky9

[@Wolfsky9]

@TommyGdVw To TommyGdVw : I was also, a Senior in High school, & in the Fall of '63, & like your Dad, I lived to hear the music. I was one of those kids who walked around with my 7 transistor radio, always hoping to hear one of " my songs". That Fall of '63, before 11/22 changed everything, " Have You Heard" was my favorite, among many, hits of that time. The song never grows old, & Joey Vann's vocal still brings me to tears. God Bless The memory of your Dad, & of that time. . Wolfsky9

[@57highland]

A definite #1 song in the hearts of doo-wop lovers.

[@Wolfsky9]

To think that this is the music I grew up to--what a gift from God . Wolfsky9

[@Wolfsky9]

Never, ever tire of this all-time classic. -----------------------WolfSky9, 71 y/o

[@cynthia6637]

WHAT A SONG .. GREW UP WITH THE DUPREES.. SINGING... AS I WAS JUST STARTING JR HIGH SCHOOL THIS WAS A FAVORITE FOR SURE

[@teamstermurph]

Great doo-wop song! Excellent photos to go with it!

[@flyumhighloft]

Wow Still Loved How Could Not Love This Great This Is The Real Deal Turn It UP! XOXO

[@beast47x]

Nobody had this combination of such raw but beautiful harmony (and their unison as well)as "original" Duprees....Timeless & yet a bit tragic is some sort of "romanic way" due to the history of the group, it's members & the business that swallowed them up.....

[@annalayman1810]

Joey van greatest song

[@cynthia6637]

AWESOME IS THE PERFECT WORD.. )) WHAT A WONDEFUL SLOW DANCE.. INDEED...

[@irishpatti2736]

I Love Simply this one... Patti in South Philly 🍀😇🍀.

[@Wolfsky9]

" Have You Hearrrrrrrrrrrd, Of Their Wedding Dayyyyyy? " Vocal Perfection the likes of which we'll not ever hear again. GBY Joey , Mike, Jon & Joe . The Duprees. Wolfsky9

[@57highland]

@Wolfsky9 Yes, timeless and perfect, one of those rare songs which is great from the opening note to the final. I see your comment about being a HS senior at the time of this song. I was only in 1st grade then, so it wasn't until around '69, I believe, that I first heard it, in a TV "oldies" record offer (i.e. send in 9.95, allow 6 weeks for delivery). And in those commercials, you only hear about 6 or 7 seconds of each song, and even so, I knew this song was great, hearing only a snippet.

[@polikwaptiwache397]

Great job on the visual end if this video. Love the song....

[@tropicalpancake56]

Just beautiful...

[@57highland]

GREAT !! GREAT !! GREAT !!!

[@jtclaf]

I agree, I never get tired of hearing this song.

[@Wolfsky9]

Timeless vocal perfection, Fall of ''63. Wolfsky9

[@LGRTBRIT]

Superb video for this song. Great work!

[@34Packardphaeton]

Seldom have I played a song over and over . . even though it's a sad song for me. But, it's beautiful for very sure. I have to wonder who the back-up instrumentalists were for this recording . . . since they were only out of high school for a short while. Yes, I lived in that era. But sadly, I was rather socially "developmentally delayed" as a young man . . . and truly wish that I had been 'normal'. Peace to all.

[@joraldan]

Beautiful...that's music

[@Vravishing]

Have I heard? No, I haven't. NOW, I heard it, thank you... lol :^) The song is pretty amazing so as the video clips. Big thanks for sharing this with me J. 50K*

[@smallfry3270]

Might be Number 1 Doo Wop song of all time.

[@williammcintyre8162]

beautiful

[@tonyrock2714]

Thank you for the post ... One of my all time favs.. Love this song... :O)

[@Wolfsky9]

@57highland Sir, Part of the reason lay in the timing--the song was up to #18, on 11/22/63; nothing was the same after that, & the nearly 2 week stoppage of all music on Top-40 AM radio. There were many other songs, " Forget Him" by Bobby Rydell, " I'm leaving it up to you", which made Billboard #1, but didn't in Denver--" Drip Drop" by Dion--to name a few. All were casualties of 11/22/63. Wolfsky9

[@TheZeevik]

awesome

[@57highland]

@Wolfsky9 The Billboard Book of Top 40 Hits says this song only got to #18 on the charts! Now, THAT is a genuine mystery! This song is a #1 hit from opening note to last!

[@jgordainc]

Dedicated to all the guys who LOST their Girl for whatever the reason! They wonder where she is NOW ?

[@PhillySouth]

This is one of their songs I wouldn't quite consider Doo-Wop, per se. They've move the sound (or musical production values) closer to the middle of the road a la The Four Lads, The Four Coins, The Four Preps, etc. Not that that's a bad thing, mind you. This might be my favorite by them on most days.

[@cynthia6637]

I am not sure... But if they don't.... They are sure missing out on the best dance out there....

[@ronetteloverz]

Too bad they can't write music and lyrics as good as this anymore...

[@oldiesforever64]

Love this song

[@57highland]

@Wolfsky9 I figured it was something like that. Unfortunate bad timing for the Duprees. Also the fact that doo-wop was almost over and the British Invasion was waiting in the wings. Too bad The Duprees didn't have composers like Bob Gaudio and Bob Crewe behind them, like the Seasons did.

[@jtclaf]

Couldn't agree with you more, thanks for the comment.

[@drunkenmaster89467]

My favorite part is at 1:22 - 1:38 that part always gets me. REAL MUSIC HERE

[@michaellazzeri2527]

A masterpiece. A Toyal-masterpiece. Wolfsky9, MJL

[@teamstermurph]

`The ultimate heart-breaker!

[@jtclaf]

Thanks for the nice comment, wonder if today's kids even know what a slow dance means!!!!

[@brookeperk93]

been on both ends of this proposition......havent we all ? one end stinks the other makes you laugh! we we ever learn !

[@jtclaf]

Yes Brooke haven't we all

[@kalinakimble5660]

anyone of any maturity has certainly been on both ends, Brooke! i truly do not hate any of my exes...i love them.

[@jtclaf]

@Azishome Appreciate the comment very much, yes so beautiful this song.

[@clarkie2247]

Anyone know how to transfer the audio from You Tube to an MP3....??

[@Gigimusicjams1]

No This is Not Ritchie Rosato. The original Lead Singer was Mike Kelly...RIP! He had the Magic! Rosato doesn't even come close.

[@Wolfsky9]

@57highland It really was both timing, & when Joey Canzano--Vann--left the group & Mike Kelly took over on Lead, the guys really had to adapt to a new vocal sound. In truth, Mike & the guys did some wonderful music in the Later 60's & 70's, until The Fast Life killed Mike's voice & looks. They had a big committment from Heritage Columbia , but for whatever reasons, they didn't sustain to the early success, & no, they didn't have Bob Gaudio / Bob Crewe helping them. Wolfsky9
