The Duponts

Last updated: 2 hours ago

Not to be confused with the r&b vocal group of the same name, where "Little Anthony" Gourdine first cut his teeth in the studio, these Duponts were a studio comedy-novelty act responsible for "Screamin' Ball (At Dracula Hall)," a precursor to "The Monster Mash" and a remarkably similar record to a then-current horror-novelty single ("Dinner With Drac") by John Zacherle. Authored by expatriate British songwriter Johnny Brandon, and acquired by Morris Levy's Roulette label from Larry Uttal's Madison Records, "Screamin' Ball"--which was cut in February of 1958, years before the <a href="spotify:artist:42MRYPhQfcEXqb18dl5ERX">Bobby "Boris" Pickett</a> hit--failed to find a big audience, despite some clever lyrics and a catchy hook or two, and the Duponts were lost to the world. Madison Records was later, itself, a forerunner of the Bell Records label. ~ Bruce Eder, Rovi
