Does anybody have any information on The Four Dukes on Prom 1008 "Tell Me 
Why"  and value?

I suspect it may be a cheap label cover of the Four Aces/Eddie Fisher hit 
from 1951-52.  Enoch Light had connections to the Prom label.  Prom 1007 was 
by the same Four Dukes group and covered LITTLE WHITE CLOUD/CHARMAINE.  If 
so the value would be just about zero.  To check this possibility out, look 
for the songwriter credits on the label.  If it is Al Alberts and Marty 
Gold, then you have a cover.  Also, there would likely be another hit song 
from the same period on the flip side.
There was a doo wop group by that name but I doubt they are one and the 
same.
