Learn about Jan Berry as a songwriter, arranger, and producer . . . and learn about the history and legacy of Jan & Dean . . . one of the most successful duos of the 1960s.
Jan & Dean produced 26 chart singles between 1958 and 1966 (16 of which were national Top 40 hits on Billboard and Cash Box). Five of their albums during that period also made the Top 40.
From 1966 onward, Jan & Dean made new music separately . . . and occasionally together.
Dean Torrence produced Save for A Rainy Day in 1966-67 . . . and Jan Berry produced Carnival of Sound in 1967-68.
Jan & Dean hit the road again in the late '70s, during Jan's high-profile fight to overcome the effects of traumatic brain injury. They toured consistenly throughout the '80s and '90s, and into the new millennium. Following Jan Berry's untimely death in March 2004, Dean continues to honor the music with live concert appearances.
