Jan Berry, leader of the music duo Jan & Dean from the late
1950s to mid-1960s, was an intense character who experienced more
in his first 25 years than many do in a lifetime. As an architect
of the West Coast sound, he was one of rock 'n' roll's original
rebels-brilliant, charismatic, reckless, and flawed. As a
songwriter, music arranger, and record producer for Nevin-Kirshner
Associates and Screen Gems-Columbia Music, Berry was one of the
pioneering self-produced artists of his era in Hollywood. He lived
a dual life, reaching the top of the charts with Jan & Dean
while transitioning from college student to medical student, until
an automobile accident ended his seemingly charmed existence in
1966. Suffering from brain damage and partial paralysis, Jan spent
the rest of his life trying to come back from dead man's curve. His
story is told here in-depth for the first time, based on extensive
primary source documentation and supplemented by the stories and
memories of Jan's family members, friends, music industry
colleagues, and contemporaries. From the birth of rock to the
bitter end, Berry's life story is thrilling, humorous, unsettling,
and disturbing, yet ultimately uplifting.
