Berry adapted the [[American Civil War|Civil War]] tune "[[Aura Lea]]" and arranged the harmonies. After weeks of practice, Berry, Ginsburg, and Torrence planned to make a [[demo (music)|demo recording]] in Berry's garage, but Torrence was drafted into the [[United States Army Reserve]], forcing Berry and Ginsburg to record "Jennie Lee" without Torrence,<ref name="ReferenceB">Ben Marcus, ''Surfing USA!: An Illustrated History of the Coolest Sport of All Time'' (MVP Books, 2005):89.</ref> with Berry's friend and fellow University High student Donald J.

Produced by Lubin, "Jennie Lee" (Arwin 108), backed with "Gotta Get a Date" (credited to Ginsburg, Berry & Lubin), became a surprise commercial success. According to Berry biographer Mark A. Moore, "The song (with backing vocals, plus additional instruments added by the [[Ernie Freeman|Ernie Freeman combo]]) had a raucous [[Rhythm and blues|R&B]] flavor, with a bouncing bomp-bomp vocal hook that would become a signature from Jan on future recordings."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.jananddean-janberry.com/main/index.php/jdhistory/58-62|title=Jan & Dean - Official Jan Berry Website - 1958-1962 - Barons & Bomps|website=Jananddean-janberry.com|access-date=October 28, 2017|archive-date=October 28, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171028203423/http://www.jananddean-janberry.com/main/index.php/jdhistory/58-62|url-status=dead}}</ref> Distributed by [[Dot Records]],<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.jananddean-janberry.com/photogalleries/displayimage.php?album=15&pos=25Ad |title=Jan & Dean Photo Galleries - Jan & Arnie/Jennie Lee |publisher=Jananddean-janberry.com |access-date=2014-08-23 |archive-date=2014-08-26 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140826114338/http://www.jananddean-janberry.com/photogalleries/displayimage.php?album=15&pos=25Ad |url-status=dead }}</ref> "Jennie Lee" was released in mid-April,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.jananddean-janberry.com/photogalleries/displayimage.php?album=15&pos=19|title=Jan & Dean Photo Galleries - Jan & Arnie/Jan & Arnie|publisher=Jananddean-janberry.com|access-date=August 23, 2014|archive-date=January 3, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140103145715/http://jananddean-janberry.com/photogalleries/displayimage.php?album=15&pos=19|url-status=dead}}</ref> entered the charts on May 10, 1958, the same day they appeared on [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]]'s ''[[The Dick Clark Show|Dick Clark Show]]''.

In July 1958, Jan & Arnie released their second single, "Gas Money" backed with "Bonnie Lou" (Arwin 111), both written by Berry, Ginsburg, and Altfeld. Like "Jennie Lee", "Gas Money" contained a few elements of what would later become surf music. It entered the ''Billboard'' charts on August 24, 1958, and peaked at No.&nbsp;81 a week later.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.jananddean-janberry.com/main/index.php/disc/58-62|title=Jan & Dean - Official Jan Berry Website - 1958-1962|publisher=Jananddean-janberry.com|access-date=August 23, 2014|archive-date=March 17, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150317070435/http://www.jananddean-janberry.com/main/index.php/disc/58-62|url-status=dead}}</ref> Jan & Arnie were a featured act on the Summer Dance Party that toured the US East Coast, including Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and Connecticut in July 1958. By the end of the month, they traveled to [[Manhattan]] to appear on ''[[The Dick Clark Show]]''.

On August 24, 1958, Jan & Arnie played in a live show hosted by [[Dick Clark]] that featured [[Bobby Darin]], the Champs, [[Sheb Wooley]], [[the Blossoms]], [[the Six Teens]], [[Jerry Wallace]], [[Jack Jones (singer)|Jack Jones]], [[Rod McKuen]] and the Ernie Freeman Orchestra in front of nearly 12,000 fans at the first rock-n-roll show ever held at the [[Hollywood Bowl]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.jananddean-janberry.com/photogalleries/displayimage.php?album=15&pos=23|title=Jan & Dean Photo Galleries - Jan & Arnie/Jan & Arnie - Dick Clark - Hollywood Bowl|website=Jananddean-janberry.com|access-date=October 28, 2017|archive-date=September 7, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170907215224/http://www.jananddean-janberry.com/photogalleries/displayimage.php?album=15&pos=23|url-status=dead}}</ref>

By September 6, 1958, Jan & Arnie's third and final single, "The Beat That Can't Be Beat" backed with "I Love Linda" (Arwin 113), again composed by the Berry, Ginsburg, and Altfeld team, was released. However this single failed to chart, due in part to a lack of distribution. On October 19, 1958, Jan & Arnie performed "The Beat That Can't Be Beat" on CBS's ''[[Jack Benny Show]]''.<ref>''Hartford Courant'' (Hartford, CT: October 19, 1958).</ref>

Arnie Ginsburg recorded a one-off single with a band named the Rituals on the Arwin label. The single, "Girl in Zanzibar" b/w "Guitarro", was released on vinyl in January 1959, preceding Jan and Dean's first single "Baby Talk", released in May 1959. Other than Arnie, the single featured [[Richard Podolor]] on guitar, Sandy Nelson on drums, [[Bruce Johnston]] on piano, Dave Shostac on sax, Harper Cosby on bass, and [[Mike Deasy]] on guitar. It is unclear if the actual single was released for the general public but there are several promotional copies pressed to vinyl in existence.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://jananddean-janberry.com/boards/index.php?topic=405.0|title=Arnie Ginsburg|publisher=Jananddean-janberry.com|access-date=August 23, 2014}}</ref>

By the end of the year, when Torrence had completed his six-month stint at [[Fort Ord]], Ginsburg had become disenchanted with the music business. Ginsburg enrolled in the School of Architecture and Design at the [[University of Southern California]] and graduated in the field of product design in 1966. After graduation Ginsburg worked for several noted Los Angeles architects, among them [[Charles Eames]],<ref name="Making The Most Of A Minimal Life">Mary Every, [https://www.chicagotribune.com/1989/08/05/making-the-most-of-a-minimal-life/ "Making The Most Of A Minimal Life"], ''News-Press'' (Santa Barbara, CA), August 5, 1989.</ref> and in December 1973 he was granted a [[Patent|U.S. patent]] for a table he designed.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://patents.google.com/patent/USD229467|title=Patent USD229467 - Table - Google Patents|access-date=August 24, 2014}}</ref>

Ginsburg moved in 1975 to [[Santa Barbara, California]], where he worked as an architectural designer.<ref name="Making The Most Of A Minimal Life"/> designing the innovative Ginsburg House.<ref>Nora Richter Greer, ''Outdoor Decorating and Style Guide: Interior Design and Architecture'' (Rockport Publishers, 2003)<!--ISSN/ISBN needed--></ref> In September 1976, Ginsburg and Michael W.
