Jan and Dean were a surf rock duo from Hawthorne, California who started making music together in high school around 1958. Their early hits like 'Baby Talk' and 'Popsicle' had a light, catchy feel that fit right into the Southern California scene of the early 1960s.
In 1966, Jan Berry was seriously injured in a car accident that caused brain damage and put the duo on hold for years. They eventually started performing together again in the late 1970s and kept at it until Berry's death in 2004. Their catalog includes other songs like 'Drag City' and 'Honolulu Lulu' that capture that specific early-sixties surf and hot rod sound.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
