FLASHBACK FRIDAY: Jan and Dean’s “Surf City,” the song that reached the top of the U.S. pop charts on this day in 1963. In this same year…the debut of the Annette Funicello-Frankie Avalon Beach Partymovie franchise, “Surf City” became the first chart-topping surf song ever. Jan and Dean would go on to have four more significant surf hits in their career:: “Honolulu Lulu” (1963); “Drag City” 1963); “Dead Man’s Curve” (1964); and “The Little Old Lady (From Pasadena)” (1964).
