Jan Berry was “’a force to be reckoned with,’ says Lou Adler, who managed Jan and Dean Torrence in the 1960s and produced some of their early singles. Born William Jan Berry on April 3rd, 1941, and raised in the Bel Air section of L.A., Berry was still in high school when he cut his first Top Ten hit, the doo-wop novelty ‘Jennie Lee,’ named after a real-life exotic dancer, on two tape machines in his garage in 1958 with Torrence and another pal, Arnie Ginsburg” (David Fricke, Rolling Stone, 2004).
