Jan and Dead

Or
Shouldn’t have gone fast on Deadman’s CurveJan Berry, half of the Beach Boys knock-off group Jan & Dean, has died of complications of a car accident that occurred in 1966. Jan & Dean had a series of hits including "The Little Old Lady from Pasadena," "Surf City" and the prophetic "Deadman's Curve." Berry’s career came to a screeching halt when his speeding Corvette hit a parked truck, leaving him with severe brain damage, partial paralysis and an inability to speak. Eventually, he was able to recover enough to resume singing and writing songs. The crash occurred while Berry was filming the movie "Easy Come, Easy Go," which would also have been the screen debut of Mel Brooks, but the film was cancelled due to the accident.
