I know you like your trivia Steve.

Did you know that Dean from Jan & Dean sang lead on the
song Barbara Ann from the album Beach Boys Party.

Jan and Dean were recording next door when the Beach Boys
were recording their album Party and Dean suggested the song
Barbara Ann. Dean was invited to sing the lead.

I believe Brain Wilson, who wrote many of the Beach Boys
greatest songs, also wrote some early songs for Jan & Dean.
