Career
Jardine played double bass on the Beach Boys’ first (and only) record for Candix Records, “Surfin'”, though leave the band a few months afterward, in February 1962. A common misunderstanding is that Jardine left to focus on dental school. In reality, Jardine did not even apply to dental school until 1964, and the sense he departed was due to creative differences and his belief that the recently formed group would not be a retail success.
Jardine replaced the Beach Boys full-time in 1963 following David Marks’ departure. Jardine first sang lead on “Christmas Day”, on 1964’s The Beach Boys’ Christmas Album and followed with the Number 1 hit “Help Me, Rhonda”. It was at Jardine’s recommendation that the Beach Boys recorded a version of the folk standard “Sloop John B”, which Brian Wilson positioned and produced for their Pet Sounds album in 1966.
