==Legacy== In 1964, Jan and Dean were signed to host what became the first multi-act rock and roll show that was edited into a motion picture designed for wide distribution. ''[[The T.A.M.I. Show]]'' became a seminal and original production β in essence one of the first rock videos β on its release in 1964. Using a high-resolution videotape process called [[Electronovision]] (transferred from television directly onto 35mm motion picture stock as a [[kinescope]]), new sound recording techniques and having a remarkable cast, ''The T.A.M.I. Show'' set the standard for all succeeding music film and video work, including many of the early videos shown by MTV 17 years later. The revolutionary technical achievements of ''The T.A.M.I. Show'' and the list of performers (including a performance by [[James Brown]] that many critics have called the best of his career) marked a high point for Jan and Dean, as they were the hosts and one of the main featured acts as well. They became one of the main faces of mid-1960s music, until Berry's auto accident two years later, through their ''T.A.M.I. Show ''appearance. According to rock critic [[Dave Marsh]], the attitude and public persona of [[punk rock]] can be traced to Jan and Dean.<ref>[[Dave Marsh]] "An Analytical Study", in the liners for Jan and Dean's ''Anthology'' LP, [[United Artists]], 1971.</ref> Brian Wilson has cited Berry as having a direct impact{{explain|date=February 2022}} on his own growth as a record producer.<ref>Brian Wilson interview with Peter Jones Productions, quoted in article by Mark A.

We beat 75 percent of the people in there. So what else is it? I've got to think that we were pretty irreverent when it came to the music industry. They kind of always held that against us. That's okay with me." Jan and Dean were inducted into the Hollywood Rock Walk of Fame on April 12, 1996, exactly 30 years after Jan Berry had his near fatal car accident. On January 28, 2023, Jan and Dean were inducted into the California Music Hall Of Fame.<ref>{{cite web |title=The Music, The Evening, The Inductees, The Magic |url=https://californiamusichalloffame.ticketspice.com/california-music-hall-of-fame-induction-ceremony |website=California Music Hall Of Fame Induction Ceremony}}</ref> [[The Who]] covered Jan and Dean's "Bucket T" on their UK EP ''[[Ready Steady Who]]'' from 1966, one of only a few songs the group performed where surf-fan [[Keith Moon]] provided the lead vocals.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Atkins |first=John |title=The Who on record: a critical history, 1963-1998 |date=2000 |publisher=McFarland |isbn=978-0-7864-0609-8 |location=Jefferson, N.C}}</ref> Alternative rock group the [[Red Hot Chili Peppers]] referenced the duo in their song "[[Did I Let You Know]]", on the album ''[[I'm with You (album)|I'm with You]]''.{{importance inline|date=February 2022}}
