Comments: Went to Troy Shondell's site and found you guys on the Chiffon's site.
I was born in Jersey City and went to North Bergen High School and in 1964 or 65 [The Duprees] played our senior class dance, and sang pyramids.
I am an artist too, [] and played the blues for twenty five years under the name the Back House Bluesers with a guitarist from Jersey City, Joey Basta.
We loved you then and love you now! Keep it up!

Comments: My sister and I have now seen you perform about 10 times and have become true fans. All of you are too good to be true (to quote a Jersey Boys song). Your performance in Atlantic City was over the top but then again so is every concert you perform. We are already booking a room for Valentines weekend next February . Unfortunately we are missing you at the surf club by one week then we will be down the jersey shore for a few weeks so we will also be missing you at brookside park in bloomfield. We are both residents of Belleville New Jersey so we can travel almost anywhere. We also plan on seeing you in Pennsylvania and catch the amish tour while we are there. Phil, when you sing, I believe I can fly, you take my breath away. Happy birthday Jimmy.As long as your performing we will be there. :I teach Kindergarten and this June my kids performed Jersey Boys for graduation since John Lloyd Young is a good friend as we have seen Jersey Boys while he was in it at lease 2 dozen times. guess what they will be performing next June ( Has to be The Duprees) of course. Im already picking out which songs to teach them from your CD's. Really love you guys. Great entertainers and nice people.

Comments: Happy Belated Birthday Jimmy, you are in my thoughts and prayers. Hope it was the best. Sorry I missed your b-day, but I just lost my beloved husband of almost 36 years, so have been out of the loop. No more calling to me from the other room "come here, your boyfiend is on!" So while I swoon when I hear your melodic voices, I will be heartbroken when I hear/see you again, knowing that he loved seeing how happy I was when I listened to you sing...... God Bless all of you for the joy you bring to us, and have for so many years............hugs................

Your group is fabulous and I have enjoyed your music for years. I just wanted to let you know. My friends and I had a great time that night listening to you and even my children enjoy your music because they grew up on it. Real music is hard to come by these days and trust me the music they play today I don't even consider music.
Keep up the great work you do, your great

did was talk about how great you guys were. He was a singer himself but of cause never made it big, but he passed away this past December and whenever I listen to you guys I think of him and
know he is listening with me.
You are all so great and we enjoy your concerts so very much, keep up the good work and may God Bless you all with Good Health and Peace. Our grateful hearts for keeping the great yesteryear
memories alive. Thank you

We lost him a few months ago but,I know he would have been down at Astoria Park on July 10,2008. It was not only great music but the group was very entertaining. Thank you for recognizing the veterans and men and women in the war now.....

Comments: Hi Guys,
The show on Monday night at Woodbridge was once again an incredible experience for everyone that was there. All of you are so very, very talented in your own right but I have to admit to a favorite and that is Tommy. And just for the record Tony, every time Tommy sings, moves, sways or even just breathes, me and all the women seated around me give a great big AHHH. But as I already said you other guys are terrific too. Your comments about the original Duprees were very heart warming but could you also include some background on the current group members. Will see you next in Carteret. Till then thanks for keeping our music alive and thriving.

My father is originally from Jersey City and knew one of the original guys. He said you all sound so much better and when you said those nice things about the original guys he started to cry. You made our night and I'm sure , everyone else's night. My brother works for the town and said it's the biggest crowd they had ever seen.
