Influential singing duo starting in the [[Older Than They Think|late 1950s]] but mainly in the [[The Sixties]]. Almost as important to the surf-pop scene as [[The Beach Boys]], Jan and Dean made countless songs, some of which are [[Misattributed Song|misattributed]] to the Beach Boys. They were not rivals; in fact, Brian did backup and co-wrote "Surf City". |

Their full names were William Jan Berry and Dean [[Embarrassing Middle Name|Ormsby]] Torrence. They started with the hit "[[Baby Talk]]" in 1959, and kept singing while going through college (unlike the Beach Boys) until Jan had a wreck in 1966, but had a comeback in the early 1970s. Berry died in 2004, but Torrence continues to tour and give interviews. Note: Discography covers only the pre-accident years. |
