Jan and Dean were an American rock duo consisting of William Jan Berry (April 3, 1941 - March 26, 2004) and Dean Ormsby Torrence (born March 10, 1940). In the early 1960s, they were pioneers of the California Sound and vocal surf music styles popularized by the Beach Boys.

Jan and Dean reached their commercial peak in 1963 and 1964, after they met Brian Wilson. The duo scored sixteen Top 40 hits on the Billboard and Cash Box magazine charts, with a total of twenty‐six chart hits over an eight‐year period (1959‐1966). Berry and Wilson collaborated on roughly a dozen hits and album cuts for Jan and Dean, including “Surf City”, co‐written by Jan Berry and Brian Wilson (#1, 1963). Subsequent top 10 hits included “Drag City” (#10, 1964), the eerily portentous “Dead Man's Curve” (#8, 1964), and “The Little Old Lady from Pasadena” (#3, 1964).
