I met my partner, Jan Berry, at high school in West Los
Angeles. By the time we had graduated, we had appeared on American Bandstand
twice and had been awarded our first gold record.
A few years later, we played our first concert with some
young upstarts, "The Beach Boys." Our two groups went on to form a musical
alliance that dominated the charts in the mid-sixties. We not only traded record
making secrets, but shared songs as well.
Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys co-wrote "Surf City" with us,
which became the first surf song to reach number one on the national charts.
Brian also sang on this recording that went on the become our biggest selling
record. I got to sing on Beach Boys recordings, the most notable being the lead
vocal on the '60s rock anthem, "Barbara Ann."
Our respective record companies tried to intimidate us into
not singing on each others records, but like the spoiled rock and roll brats we
were, we blew them off. Following "Surf City," Jan and Dean went on to record
seven more top ten records, plus six albums. We were the fifth top selling
artists in 1963 and the sixth top selling artists in 1964.
Early in 1966, my partner Jan, at the age of 25, was
seriously injured in an automobile accident. He was in a coma for nearly a
month. It was pretty obvious that our music careers were over... or were they?
Even though Jan never fully recovered, he worked very hard at regaining as much
as he could which in itself was truly remarkable.
In 1978, twelve years since our last concert, our old friends
the Beach Boys talked us out of retirement and asked us to join them on tour.
The first concert was at a sold-out Three Rivers Stadium. Pretty cool
un-retirement party, wouldn't you say? This tour, which People Magazine called,
"the most heartening music tour of 1978," re-ignited our careers.
We continued to play live music for the next 23 years. Sadly,
over the last two to three years, Jan's health has been in decline. We had all
hoped that his health would improve, but it has not. So my band mates and I, who
have been together for more than 20 years, have decided to reorganize and forge
out on our own. We renamed the group, "The Surf City Allstar Band." Surf City
was lucky for me a long time ago, maybe it can bring us good luck again.
So, if you are in need of a Beach Party, the kind of party
that you are encouraged to dance or sing along and have a chuckle or two along
the way, give us a call. We wont disappoint you!
