Now you gotta do "Jennie Lee" by Jan & Arnie! They were the first version of the duo, before it evolved into Jan & Dean.JENNIE LEE was a top 10 US hit in 1958, and was recorded in Jan's garage.
Jan & Dean definitely came first as far as their success as rock & roll artists. The Beach Boys came along several years after Jan & Dean. Jan & Dean already had several charting hits in the late 50's & early 60's, and the Beach Boys didn't hit the charts until 1962. The Beach Boys even used to function as the backing band for Jan & Dean before the Beach boys started having their own hits. But as far as the California Surf and Hot Rod sounds, Jan & Dean did kind of follow in the Beach Boys footsteps. But both artists really created the sound together.
Hehehehe. Jan & Dean arrived at the surf rock party a short time before The Beach Boys. "Surf City" by Jan & Dean, from 1963, was the first surf rock song to reach number-one in the U.S. Jan & Dean were actual surfers and hot rod enthusiasts turned singers and songwriters crafting lyrics for a style of music that was mostly instrumental at the time. But while competitors, they were friends with The Beach Boys. Brian Wilson cowrote "Surf City" with Jan Berry. They also scored hits with "Dead Man's Curve" and "The Little Old Lady (From Pasadena)". And in a case of life imitates art, one of them, I don't remember which one, sustained serious injuries in a car crash and while he survived it ended their time in the spotlight. The story of Jan & Dean was compelling enough that it was turned into a made for TV movie in the late seventies titled "Dead Man's Curve". I remember watching it as a kid. Surf rock began in Southern California in the sixties but it survived into the seventies and eighties up and down the coast in California. Snippets from surf rock classics show up in movies all the time too. "Miserlou" by Dick Dale, from 1962, is the song that kicks off Pulp Fiction for example. The Everly Brothers made music in Nashville and Memphis alongside Elvis Presley in the late fifties. So aside from the inspiration of their awesome harmonies they were unrelated to surf rock.
@@EmpressReacts Yes, but Brian Wilson took the California sound over a couple of decades to new and innovative terrain, with the Beach Boys consistently ranked in the top ten of all time influential bands.
**JAN & DEAN TRIVIA TIME!!*** ....well, at least I found EMPRESS....(2:47).... - ....(1:06)....well, Jan & Dean didn't have a 'beef' with their style of Music, because everyone else COPIED it! ...Jan & Dean were the PIONEERS of "Surf Rock" the rockabilly styled L.A. Pop Music that Surfer Boys LOVED, in the late 50's - early 60's..... - ....Jan & Dean were around for a while, until they moved to another label, and became 'Jan & Dean' to get out of a previous contract.....they hung with the Beach Boys a LOT, and the B-Boys created thier OWN style of 'Surf Rock' that fit in with the times (1960-1965).....and, they created the BEST of it....... - ....I don't know much of J&D, but I played "Little Old Lady From Pasadena" in my DJ Gigs....a LOT........
@@EmpressReacts Not rockabilly, more like West Coast cousins to rockabilly. Jan & Dean pioneered adding vocals to a style that was mostly instrumentals with a heavy emphasis on fast light guitar riffs. For a taste, check out any of these instrumentals: "Walk, Don't Run" The Ventures (1960); "Pipeline" The Chantays (1962); "Miserlou" Dick Dale (1962); "Wipe Out" The Surfaris (1963); "Surf Rider" The Lively Ones (1963) -- Chances are great that you've heard snippets of these songs on tv etc.

Ah interesting ‼️thanks for the context and letting me know Jan and Dean kicked surfer 🏄 music off
Me too Empress makes me think of the old movies like Beach Blanket Bingo and those “dances.”😂
Exactly 😂
Thanks Empress. Curious what you'll think of the other 2 :)
Huge influence on Brian Wilson and the brothers Wilson.
So they were the originators
