 Now there's a movie that has something for the ladies and the guys. This duo met at Emerson Junior High in Los Angeles. Both were on the football team. They had adjoining lockers and would harmonize in the showers after games with other players, including soon-to-be actor James Brolin. To enter a talent contest in school, they formed the doo-wop group The Barons, and that featured Sandy Nelson on drums and Bruce Johnston on piano. After The Barons broke up, these two met Brian Wilson in 1963.
