Berry (William Jan Berry)and Brian Wilson collaborated on roughly a dozen hits and album cuts for Jan & Dean, including the number one national hit "Surf City" (1963). Subsequent top 10 hits for Jan & Dean included "Honolulu Lulu" (1963), "Drag City" (1963), "The Little Old Lady from Pasadena" (1964), and the eerily portentous "Dead Man's Curve" (1964). Their commercial peak came between 1963 and 1966, and the duo scored an impressive sixteen Top 40 hits on the Billboard and Cash Box magazine charts, with total of twenty-six chart hits over eight years.

Neil Young's song "Tonight's the Night", is about the drug-overdose death of Jan Berry's brother Bruce Berry, with a lyric that includes: "Bruce Berry was a working man, he used to load that Econoline van."
