----- Original Message ----- From: Vocal Group Hall of Fame To: duprees@duprees.com Cc: Bob Crosby Sent: Friday, June 13, 2008 7:35 PM Subject: The Duprees Website
Gentlemen,
It has come to my attention that on the What's New page of your website www. Duprees. com you list The Duprees as 2006 Inductees of The Vocal Group Hall of Fame.
Let me be very clear. Although your group may call itself The Duprees, you are not the group that recorded the hit songs or the group that made those songs famous. It should be further understood that you are not the group Inducted into The Vocal Group Hall of Fame. That honor is reserved for the original recording members of the group.
It is despicable that you are receiving awards for the historical accomplishments of the real Duprees, such as the award given to you last year in New Jersey, when you are in reality no more than that of a tribute group confusing / deceiving the public.
With that being said, please remove any connection and reference to your group being Inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame from your website. Because your are not the Inductees and YOUR group is not Inducted. You are not to associate yourselves in any way as being inducted into The Vocal Group Hall of Fame, including, but not limited to your website, group bio, live performances, advertising etc. You are doing a great injustice to the public and the fans of the makers of the music that you are taking credit for, deceiving the public.
This is thievery of the history and legacy of the real group. The attempts to alter history for those listeners that are not looking past your deception damages the true legacy of the artists that created the music.
Should I have received any misstatements or false information, I would be happy to review any material you may wish to submit. Although the Truth In Music Bill, now law in over half the states of this country does not fix the problem in every case, it doe
