		Yet while Jan was recovering from his accident in 1966, you recorded your own Pet Sounds -- the rare psych-pop album, Save for a Rainy Day, which you credited to Jan and Dean and released on the J and D label, even though Jan was not on it.
		But because the songs were about cars, surfboards and innocent teenage fun, the big Jan and Dean hits have never been taken seriously, awarded the same critical cachet as Beach Boys records.

		Dean was on tour with Jan (as I recall, they were in Lake Tahoe at the time) but his mother sent me information about the fan club along with a very nice handwritten letter which, unfortunately has long since disappeared.
		Jan couldn't quite hit the high notes the way he did before the accident, and he had to sit down occasionally, but he was great, nonetheless.
		Jan and Dean's music inspired me much as it had my older brother who had first listened to them in the '60s when he was about the same age.

		Jan & Dean hit it big in the early-'60s with their good-time rock & roll inspired by suntans, surfboards, and dead man's curve.
		Jan's voice is not quite the same as it use to be, but Jan sounds pretty good for a guy who virtually "came back from the dead", and was told that he may never walk or talk again.
		Jan Berry has just recovered from his accident and makes a valiant effort to achieve former glory, but he is so far off key in stuff like "You've Got To Hide Your Love Away" and "Ride The Wild Surf" that it hurts.
