Dean made the save for a rainy day album in my dad's garage studio. The same garage where Karen and Richard developed their sound as " The Carpenters." I never got to meet Jan but I met Dean some 54 years ago and I have a great deal of respect for him. I just sent him a Merry Christmas email a few minutes ago. Surf's up!!!
I didn't know until now that Johnny Crawford sang. I only knew of him in connection to the TV show The Rifleman (1958 - 1963). Crawford played Mark, son to Lucas McCain, played by Chuck Connors.
In the beginning, Jan & Dean opened for the Beach Boys. Later, they would be a warm up act for the Beach Boys. Dean Torrance also was a graphic designer, designed the Beach Boys logo in the 70's that is still used today by them.
The day that I first heard Surf City I had to ride 2 miles on my bike to buy the 45 at the local music shop. I was 12 years old and just beginning to identify my own taste in pop music!

Whoever narrated this video should find a new line of work. Stumbling over one line after another. Why didn't you record it a few times until you got it right?
He also needs to enunciate better. Instead of saying "Jan & Dean" it sounded like he was saying "Jandean". He also needs to get his facts straight...or at least be more specific. He talks about the cancellation of their film "Easy Come Easy Go due to a rail car incident, then he talks about Jan's car accident leaving him partially paralyzed, and later when referring to the "Filet" of Soul" album, he says that Jan can be seen wearing a cast "as a result of the accident" but doesn't point out WHICH accident". Either he was incorrectly referring to Jan's auto accident or he was referring to the rail car incident that caused the cancellation of their film.

My mom played their records on our HiFi stereo. And I remember James Brolin from Marcus Welby MD. You're bringing back fond memories for me. Thank you. You are digging deep in your research.
This reminds me of another CZcams channel where the comments frequently bust on the guy because he uses a cheap robot to do the narration. Urging someone to read it themselves may be going from the pot into the fire. Finding someone with a good reading voice is not that easily done. I don't know if it's because schools push kids out and just hand out diplomas to everyone, or because parents aren't interest in raising kids. Maybe it's the water. I work in retail and deal with the public daily. Verbal skills in our society are going to pot. .
CatholicBoy1957, And have you noticed that on CZcams, it's now hard to find commenters who use ANY punctuation? I don't care what kind of forum CZcams is. If someone wants their point to be taken seriously, punctuation would help.
Shelley Fabares' last name is pronounced "Fabray" (it's French). "You Really Know To Hurt a Guy" / "The New Girl in School" and "From All Over The World" were several of their final hits and they were big.
Saw Jan & Dean at the City of Torrance Armstrong Theater in the late 1990's. They were hot with an unfortunately partly sour uninspired audience that Dean Torrance tormented as a result. I don't know why, but too many audience members were in black dressy clothes. For Surf Music? I was in suitable surf music attire. (Jeans and sweat shirt & Vans style shoes). Though some were singing with "Jan & Dean" many in the crowd though it was packed, were not responding to their music. Torrance made fun of them about being more like fans a following the next night's venue than his. I, in agreement, yelled a few times at Dean Torrance as I say kind of close to the stage "Hey they are waiting here for tomorrow's show! They are waiting here for tomorrow's show!" I added, "They are spending the night." That was the night of the Chinese troupe "The Peking Acrobats." 🤭😉😏🙃🤢
Although I love Jan & Dean and any biography on them as well, I almost fell asleep listening to the uploader/narrator. He needs to enunciate better. Instead of saying "Jan & Dean" it sounded like he was saying "Jandean". He also needs to get his facts straight...or at least be more specific. He talks about the cancellation of their film "Easy Come Easy Go due to a rail car incident, then he talks about Jan's car accident leaving him partially paralyzed, and later when referring to the "Filet" of Soul" album, he says that Jan can be seen wearing a cast "as a result of the accident" but doesn't point out WHICH accident".

They were hot as Beach boys in my time,saw Jan and Dean at the Tulare fair grounds not ,i remember after his acciden people got mad because Jan lipped sync,i remember being mad about that,like shit people he is still alive and he showed up to concerts.But because he did not lip sync when i saw them in concert,i grew up in Ventura,Ca. to that's where my cousins lived and i was always there.It's a wonder he was not totally paralyzed,i remember him having a bit of a limp,but i got to see some of my heroes of music,big time stuff at that time.COWABUNGA!!
Back in the very late 1980's, a bunch of friends went up to "Lake Compounce", allegedly America's oldest running amusement park, to catch a "free" concert by Jan & Dean. Um...? Somewhat SAD, to say the least! Obviously, he was BADLY brain damaged, and could barely sing on key. So other band members literally drown him out with their background vocals, kind of like with Shelley Fabares doing "Johnny Angel". It was, um, "nice" that they let him sing, but, um, not really... 😞
The narrator for this documentary on Jan & Dean sounds like he is STRUGGLING to get the words out! Suggestion…Read the script first, before you hit the record button…😳😳
You're wrong. There is no Tammy show. The T.A.M.I. Show is a 1964 concert film released by American International Pictures. It includes performances by numerous popular rock and roll and R&B musicians from the United States and England. The acronym "T.A.M.I." was used in the show's publicity to mean "Teenage Awards Music International." Jan and Dean emceed the event and performed its theme song. A little research makes you appear 50% smarter.
When they pulled from the wreck, the EMT's thought he was dead & took him to the morgue. On a slab, began to moan, realizing he was alive they rushed him to the hospital. He beat the long odds until he died but he was never the same.
Those guys, reminded me...rigourly bros, both...good looking indivi...both rest.n.peaces today, 2021, both is ol school 81s ol, and 80s both sure had..been rock n..roll hall fames, but..wasn't shown..is just a museum, but won't get pay for..it..
i produced ON E LAST RIDE which i see you have used in your doc the production was shot in 1981 in roslyn long island not NYC with FLO and EDDIE . please fix this real datta I am upset about; this is eppy from my fathers place thank you

They were on stage and performed with the beach boys at Fort Jackson Sc. in Aug. of 1978. I heard Jan Berry sing on stage there.
Well done. That was a nice walk down memory lane. I always enjoyed J&D's music. Thanks a million.
I didn't know until now that Johnny Crawford sang. I only knew of him in connection to the TV show The Rifleman (1958 - 1963). Crawford played Mark, son to Lucas McCain, played by Chuck Connors.

Actually in the beginning The Beach Boy's were the opening act for Jan & Dean and that's how they became friends

Luv your story!! It's very visual with Jan n Dean sound track... thank you for sharing peace
@@danielcruz8347 It still seems like last week but I just turned 72 so you do the math cause I'm afraid to!
INTERESTING PRESENTATION OF THE STORY OF JAN & DEAN ! THANKS 👍👍 !
They should be in the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame
I agree
Yes they should!!
If Fleetwood Mac is in there, & Janet Jackson why the Hell not Jan, & Dean ????!!!!!

Shelley Fabares is the niece of Nanette Fabray (Shelley kept the original spelling--Nanette spelled it phonetically).
Not bad info but you need to script your video and be smoother reading it.
Dude…. Hahaha you gotta try a little harder with the voiceover…
I always thought if I narrated a documentary, I'd do a British accent.
Excellent rare footage and superb research! Nice job.
More to come!
But I still enjoy these videos a lot, despite the narration.

You are so accurate in history of music and I thank you for that !
Loved their songs!!

I cut my teeth on Jan and Dean and I'm a huge Beach Boys fan - love the California "surf" sound !
Once called Righteousness bros, lawyers urged different name
I was dancing to all those groups and singers you mention.
Thanks for the video. Loved the surf sound.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I remember a few of their songs..
Nice narrative, brought back some nice memories..😂

Your facts are wrong, a little research goes a long way. It’s not the t a m I show it’s the Tammy show.

@@carrotjuse Here in the UK we called it the Tammy show, I don't know or give a phucks phuck on what you think of my answer!
Oh listen to a song called When The World Is Running Down, by The Police The Lyric is James Brown on the TAMI show!
I thought Berry died in that accident.
When they pulled from the wreck, the EMT's thought he was dead & took him to the morgue. On a slab, began to moan, realizing he was alive they rushed him to the hospital. He beat the long odds until he died but he was never the same.
Gerry & the Pacemakers wasn’t Gary & the Pacemakers
so when did jan and dean died im lost
What happened to "Jan and Dean"? you ask,, the answer is simple,, The Beach Boys!
dead mans curve was a great
movie

Sort of painful to listen to...
Dude, can't you rehearse before recording?
Where can I apply to narrate these videos? Seriously,U know I could do much better. Can't finish watching...

Sorry, but I can totally tell this is read.
