Jan & Dean + Laurel & Hardy
From our good friend Bob Duncan...............Rhino Records has just released “Carnival of Sound” –
this is the never-before released 1968 album that was to be the “comeback” album for Jan & Dean, especially
after Jan’s long and difficult rehab from his auto accident. This was the album that was to include the song “Laurel
& Hardy” – Jan Berry’s tribute to the boys. The release includes a very detailed booklet about
the album. Here’s some comments by Jan Berry about “Laurel & Hardy” - “When I was in the
hospital my dad set up a movie projector and showed every Laurel & Hardy picture he could get his hands on. Boy,
I was popular with the hospital staff and patients. Everybody would crowd into the room and crack up laughing.
So when I started composing again, I decided to do a song about them because their comedy helped me through a bad time".
He couldn’t have summed up what these films were all about any better than that. For more information about this
CD, click on the Jan & Dean + Laurel & Hardy link above.
