Title: Jan & Dean "Ocean Park Angel" Post by: Moon Dawg on May 22, 2014, 03:58:51 PM I just stumbled across this 80's Jan & Dean tune on You Tube. It's an affecting ballad, produced and sung by Jan with apparently minimal input from Dean and backing vocals that recall Bruce Johnston. It was included on a cassette only album called Port to Paradise. Frankly superior to much of The Beach Boys' 80's efforts, this pretty song should have been a comeback hit for Jan & Dean!
BTW- What did these guys do to piss off Jann Wenner?? Title: Re: Jan & Dean \ Post by: Rocker on May 23, 2014, 08:24:53 AM I like it but I don't think it's that good. Jan's "How how I love her" is a classic though imo.

Had a flash of the pair lip synching the tune on SOLID GOLD in their beach shirts. Far worse tunes have taken a spin in the Top 40. I tell you it would have been totally rad!
