Jan and Dean were a rock and roll duo, popular from the late 1950s through the mid 1960s, consisting of Jan Berry and Dean Torrence.

After Torrence returned from a six-month compulsory stint in the US Army Reserve, Berry and Torrence began to make music as " Jan and Dean.

" With the help of record producers Herb Alpert and Lou Adler, Jan and Dean scored a No. 10 hit with " Baby Talk " ( 1959 ), their first song to contain a few of the soon to be famous elements that became associated with surf ( close vocal harmonies, selective use of major and minor chords, falsetto doo-wop singing ) and then scored a series of hits over the next couple of years.

Berry signed a series of contracts with Screen Gems to write and produce music for Jan and Dean, as well as other artists such as Judy & Jill ( Berry's girlfriend Jill Gibson and Dean Torrence's girlfriend Judy Lovejoy ), The Matadors, and Pixie ( a young female solo singer ).
