HAL BLAINE'S #1 HITS
ROCK & ROLL HALL OF FAME Blaine is a member of the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame . He lives in Los Angeles . HAL BLAINE TRIVIA In 1965 the Beach Boys and Dean Torrance of Jan And Dean recorded an ad-libbed cover version of the Regent's 1950s hit song "Barbara Ann." (It was released as a 45 rpm single and on the "Beach Boys Party" LP in 1965). During the hectic instrumental break, one of the singers can be heard shouting off-mike, "It's Hal and His Famous Ashtrays!" This is a reference to Hal Blaine, who was playing percussion at the session, and who accompanied this improvised song by drumming on a pair of overturned glass ashtrays. REFERENCES
