Dupree was with King Curtis in 1962 before becoming a studio musician. He has recorded with artists like Harry Belafonte, Joe Cocker, Michael Bolton, Lou Rawls, Roberta Flack, Robert Palmer, Lena Horne, and Mariah Carey -- over 2500 albums as a sideman! He toured with Aretha Franklin (1967-76) and a variety of top pop and

solo album Coast to Coast won a Grammy. Dupree's blues-oriented guitar
style continues to be in demand. ~ Michael Erlewine
